Even Hotel Sarasota-Lakewood Ranch

Lake view very good. Very beautiful

We actually were there a few times in 2021 when my father passed away. The hotel was beyond nice, very accommodating, super clean. I would highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days before our trip to the beach resort to stay for a week. After the 3 days we checked-in at a Lido Beach resort. We had a nice clean room at Holiday Inn. The pool is small but after July 4th nobody there to use it except us. Next to the pool is a swamp or a lake whatever you want to call it and yes we saw an alligator popped-up to say hello! *:) It got better when we saw a bird by the surface and the alligator didn't bother to attack. Friendly alligator? Not sure. Our room was terrific, better than the resort we stayed after that (room-wise), which will be reviewed soon. Don't be afraid of alligators! Enjoy your sleep! We did!

Stayed at this location for a training class in the Sarasota area. Very clean and nice property and rooms. Good value for the price. Breakfast buffet is OK and hard to complain about since it was included in the stay. If I had to pay for it, I think I'd choose something else. Just food for thought. Otherwise very nice property!

Standouts are the cleanliness and decor in the rooms, including shelving as well as a bureau, tables, seating, make up mirror and walk in tiled shower. Wi-Fi was very fast and plenty of outlets. Room included microwave and refrigerator. Front desk staff was courteous but not overly welcoming. No concierge. Outdoor minimalist pool. Coffee was available in the lobby in the morning, but not tea and the coffee was not out until 6:30 am when the restaurant opened. People sitting impatiently in lobby waiting for coffee. Breakfast is not included. Lucky pelican restaurant around the corner is excellent seafood restaurant and many restaurants and shopping in immediate area. Close to the interstate. Bar is walled from lobby so not as inviting as in some Holiday Inns. A negative was that the parking was full because of a meeting and hotel guests had to park in the shopping mall nearby. Would suggest the hotel reserve space for guests and have short-term meeting participants park in shopping mall. Overall a clean, pleasant hotel in a convenient location but not as welcoming or accommodating as some.

Amazing!
