Fantastic amenities. Pool with cabanas and plentiful outdoor seating we’re superb. Great fire pit and grills too. Proximity to a Nathan Benderson park was a major plus, the couple of minutes walk to the park was great. Provided a great option for early morning walk or jog in a gorgeous setting. Plus loved that there were nearby food and shopping options. Only drawback about a 30 minutes drive to Siesta Key or Lido beaches.

The hotel is beautifully decorated. Its very clean from the lobby to the room. The room was spotless, the beds were comfortable and they supply shampoo, conditioner and body wash in their bathrooms.

The pool was another wonderful feature, clean and heated with plenty of chairs and tables. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. There are...

Hyatt Place Sarasota Lakewood Ranch

10/10 Excellent

This is a great hotel in the heart of downtown Sarasota with a fantastic lobby and walking distance to just about anything. The lobby has a great vibe with a larger elegant bar and the staff is fantastic at check in. The rooms carry that modern vibe without being too much to get in the way of the experience. Great bedding and while I didn’t have any special view it was still a view of downtown so good city feel. Walking distance to Main Street with LOTS of local restaurants, stores,...

We didn’t realize this hotel was BRAND NEW when we booked it. Literally open for a week and a half! I was blown away with how nice this hotel was, especially for the price! It was very kid friendly, had special touches & the staff was on point! Also worth adding, THE POOL AREA & THE VIEW WAS GORGEOUS! The kids loved seeing the boats and water. We were only there a night, so we went to the beach for the sunset, but the staff said it’s the most gorgeous view from the top! The complimentary...
