My Sarasota Getaway

It is not in Sarasota! It is about a 25 minute drive to Sarasota. However, the prices are much more reasonable than in Sarasota. It was relatively convenient for the local. Parking was a problem.

I want to start on a positive note with the Manager,Cindy, and her husband David were so nice and helpful? The bad part, is this place is disgusting! We had to shower with our shoes on, the couch was not a couch, it was a love seat that was stained. The TV didn’t work and the place was extremely small and outdated by 50 years! The pool was gross (nobody swam it the whole 10 days we stayed there). The furniture around the pool was all broken and rusted. We will NEVER be staying here again. The worst part about it all was , we were in the “Suite”. I can’t imagine what the other rooms were like!!

The place is a half star motel at best. The resident in the other room had 7 pitbulls rooming free unleashed. The "hang out" area was filled with dog urine and dog poo. I left the place that day and have been demanding my refund. Expedia doesn't care about their clients they care for money only. Expedia doesn't care about their clients by offering garbage and dangerous conditions like this. Never using Expedia again.

I arrived at the property for my two night stay that I had prepaid for and was told that they were overbooked. While glancing at the sheet of paper it looked as though there were 4 other people not getting a room. Emails and phone calls to the property go unanswered and 14 days later I’m still trying to get my money back. Can’t say what the rooms are like because I didn’t get one that I had reserved, but the property in general looked pretty run down. Don’t book here!

The pictures of this property online looked very nice when I got to the property in person. It was absolutely terrible. I lived in that area for about eight years and I’ve never known of this hotel. It was absolutely terrible. I didn’t stay at the hotel, I actually found another place to stay. I don’t recommend this.

Seems like a hotels.com trend, but this hotel really goes by a different name...Nokomis Inn. Said they were overbooked, but I could have a "suite" with no AC. Considering the last-minute nature of this and the cool overnight temps, I stayed. The "suite" just meant more beat-up furnishings to enjoy. Parking is a nightmare. Somewhat of a residential place and far from a resort, unless it qualified during the Nixon administration.

I knew going in it wasn't going to be a 5-star experience. Let's just say I can barely give a 1 star. If you're looking to just sleep here its ok but it's not the cleanliest. If you can find an actual place to park in the lot after 8pm you'll be lucky. (one person that is living there is taking up 2 sometimes 3 Parking spots). Don't stay in room 112... the Maintenace person lives, yes lives in the room next door and has some dogs. The lock on the apartment door is questionable. The bathroom sliding door doesn't close all the way, a good 2 inches left open no matter how hard we tried to close it. The bedding is from like the 60's and was gross with holes. The air conditioner will kick on and off all night and no matter if you want it cooler it reads 66 but in no way was that cool. The receptacles are to lose and won't hold in your chargers. They did provide a power strip for the coffee pot and microwave that sits on the table, so we used that for all our charging things, and held it in place with the side table. Bring a sound machine to block out the rude people that live there with their dogs and yell in the middle of the night for then to "get back here" right outside your door and also have their tv up loud enough to hear over said sound machine all night. The place was overbooked when got there and watched 2 people be turned away because of this. The lady checking us in told us we weren't turned away because we were booked in Sept., and we booked to stay the week. Also, if you call and actually get someone on the line, that person does not communicate with the person that actually runs the place so even if you checked on your reservation the lady that is works there will never know that you talked to the owner. And if you leave a message hoping to hear back you will be waiting forever. There are way better places to stay in the area I wound stay away from this one. We were lucky to have family close by who we borrowed blankets, pillowcases and towels from. If I had the funds to leave that place and find somewhere better, I would have just thrown away the $800 we already spent ti stay there but we didn't, so we were stuck. I will do better research next time and not look at price and fake pictures from just one source. Lesson learned.

It’s a little dirty. No water pressure in the shower or sink. No one around. I needed toilet paper and had to hunt down a person. The office is always locked.

It was perfect fir my little vaca.
