The other patrons and staff at the bar in the evenings commiserated as well about their experiences. I ran into a wonderful man, Hudson from Brazil, who is the project manager for the hotel and was observed working on finishing touches this week and working hard. Email me if you have any questions as I share the following review: At Check in - was not told about amenities or reward points system. MANAGEMENT has been scurrying about this week, agitated and trying to figure things out during the new ownership. The growing pains of transferring ownership are apparent and transferred to the hotel clients. Here are examples: SUSTAINABILITY: Every floor has a room with an ice machine, microwave and water/seltzer dispenser at the vending room temperature is 20 degrees hotter than the hallways. Every room has glass water bottles which you have to refill. I wonder how they clean these bottles? The neck is pretty tight. Great concept although not sure how sanitary. The front office manager screamed or spoke in a high tone to the staff looking for receipts - save it for a time when customers aren't around. OR talk softly to your staff in your office. BAR area: The POS System at the bar... not working & Limited wine selection. Evening lighting in the restaurant bar area - doesn't need to be full force. They preach energy efficiency and sustainability but don't practice it. Dim the lights! BILLING: Destination fees: not explained at the front desk, even if you dont use the shuttle, or the medites, you are charged AMENITIES: wading pool was closed, outside seating area was not accessible, the shuttle is by appointment (if you know about it), and the gym .. well just average hotel equipment. COFFEE: Is this coffee discrimination? not served or available in the lobby. They offer tea for free but you have to pay for coffee. The practice is inconsistent...One day, you get coffee in the lobby, one day in the staff office, one day the restaurant gives you a cup... and then suddenly you have to pay for it using a coffee machine located in the little shop. Staff aren't sure, and I asked and received different responses. Day 5 - they just started offering coffee in the lobby area, for a photo shoot only. Day 6 - you have to pay although if you are a Delta Airline worker, you get coffee for free. The restaurant response "let me look for some cups" one day. IN ROOM EXPERIENCE: The Mixpresso machines in room don't work 100% of the time, and pods are espresso pods. They have cute sipping cups which is all you get from the machine - a few sips worth. The clothes steamer works well in the room, the hair dryers are old and two died on me this week, the decorations are modern with wood like flooring. You don't get extra comforters, just the sheets and a blanket. Bathrooms are spacious. Bed is comfortable. Air conditioner / fan is loud. The rooms are vinyls wood and lift easily - they need to use better glue. They have carpet runners on both sides of the bed and weren't glued down straight, great concept, but when yo try to straighten them, the wood flooring comes undone. FRONT DESK STAFF: staff are not empowered, the response of "I don't know, I am new here, the staff called out and I cannot leave the front desk, or we don't have a shower cap or extra coffee pods or extra blankets", are just not customer service. On weekend the staff had her son playing on the computer at the desk. Adopt a "Get to Yes" culture here. HOUSEKEEPING staff: they apparently have two different groups, one that gathers towels and wipes down the room, and one that replenishes? The first few nights I did not get replenishment of cups or coffee pods, and was told that is not what I do.

Stayed here for two nights, picking this place as it was the least expensive of the "higher end"…read morehotels I was looking at. Very glad we stayed... Our las trip to Sarasota included a somewhat less-than-pleasant stay at an economy motel. I promised myself I would find something better - and luckily I did. Hotel Indigo is still a bit pricey, but as the saying goes - you get what you pay for, and in the case of this locale - you get a lot. The building looks very nice from the outside, there's plenty of free parking (a plus in my book) to be had, and you are greeted by a beautiful lobby, well furnished and staff that are friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in. I will admit, we had some hiccups - I reserved a King Bed Room, non-smoking, and all they had to offer was a room with two Queen's - no big deal. I had the devil-of-a-time trying to get their small cappuccino machine in the room to work. They had someone come to the room and show me how to function it. Our keys stopped working after just a few hours - no problem, the front desk fixed it right away. I mention these as examples of the exemplary customer service we received - a breath of fresh air that I truly enjoyed. The rooms are very chicly furnished - you can get yourself complimentary water from a machine that offers not only cold water but hot, ambient, and sparkling - this was a treat. Checking was fast and easy, and checking out is as simple as dropping off your room cards at the front desk - no fuss. You really can't ask for more. We will be back to Sarasota in a month's time - this will be the place we stay without any hesitation, but certainly with a "reservation".

The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and the staff was truly outstanding from start to finish. A special highlight of our trip was our shuttle driver, Richard ("Rich"). He went above and beyond in every way. When one of our group started feeling under the weather, Rich was kind enough to take us to Walgreens to grab sinus medication. Later that evening, he drove us to a restaurant that had a two-hour wait. Instead of dropping us off and leaving it at that, he willingly drove us around to help find another option with a shorter wait. Rich even suggested a fantastic Italian restaurant he had personally been to before--and it turned out to be amazing. His willingness to help, local knowledge, and positive attitude truly made our visit memorable. Because of employees like Rich, our experience at Art Ovation Hotel exceeded expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

The dinner last call was until 9:45pm which was awesome because we had just came back from Anna Marie Island which worked up an appetite. We ordered crab cakes for appetizers but I think due to it being so late the gentleman forgot the order which was fine so we ordered a Peach Margarita which was quite well but just request for lite ice. The shrimp was large and decorated on the top of the linguine noodles. Now it does a red pepper flakes all through it even though it's not mentioned on the menu. The noodles could have been cooked a little tad more but it was delicious through it all. The waiter was very busy but still took time to come and check on us from time to time. The hotel itself was miraculous located downtown area. You can see the water which is right across the street but because of us having a Penthouse the view and seeing the sunset made it more elegant than ever. If you're in this area and need somewhere to stay I definitely recommend this hotel. You will fall in love with all the amenities on the 8th floor.

The hotel itself is overpriced in my opinion. There are "destination" fees of $28/ day but you can use it as a credit in their restaurant. Make sure you use it because you will be charged either way. Pet fee was $75, my pup loved the room and going on walks nearby but there wasn't a designated pet relief area which would've been nice for night time . However the area is extremely walkable. Parking was about $40 / night I think but we parked on the street for free. Breakfast is included and their buffet is decent. Be sure to get your omelette made to order by Rayna. Also, make sure you don't miss their nightly reception hour with two free drinks and light snacks. The rooms are large and are your typical embassy suite with kitchenette area and living room. Beds were super comfy and the shower was nice and hot. All of the staff was very friendly and super accommodating. I wish the pool was heated or they had a hot tub because it is absolutely gorgeous but too cold during my stay. All in all, a great choice for the area! I would definitely stay again but I would be sure to price around because there are quite a few hotels in the area.

The sun comes in the backside of the hotel so if you've ever turn your beach lounge chair around pointing towards the canal and the Ritz-Carlton, you can full sun all day. It's fun to watch the different boats who dock in this canal go in and out. Kyle at the front desk was very nice, explained everything we needed to know about using our day pass, and got us on our way. There is a free shuttle from the hotel to the beach that's also included with the day pass, which was a nice benefit. There are towels located right before you go out to the pool area. A guest who was staying here also said you can fish right off the canal and go out on kayaks and paddle boards. The food and beverages were decent enough, and not ridiculously overpriced. The pool was a little chilly, but felt great when I needed a quick dip. Would consider staying here on vacation instead of just getting a day pass.

There is a full-service restaurant, spa, and a spectacular rooftop incorporating a large pool, ample deck space, lounge area with fire features, a bar and food services with views of Sarasota Bay that many say has the best sunsets in all of Florida. We stayed at the Westin in Sarasota for three nights. We valeted our car and tried to check in at 2:30. Maria at the front desk told us it would be a few minutes and we can sit in the lobby and wait. We opted to wear a bracelet and go up to the pretty rooftop. An hour later, we waited on the check in line again and were told that our room would not be ready until 4 o'clock. At 3:40 we received a text that our room was ready. Our Suite #1804 was impressive. We had a balcony overlooking the marina & city, a sitting area, a wet bar and a spacious bathroom. Our room was equipped with two large screen televisions, a Keurig at the wet bar, a king size signature heavenly bed, floor to ceiling windows with panoramic views, a safe, a desk, magnifying mirror ... The gym had cardio & strength training machines as well as free weights. Headphones, towels and water were provided. The 19th floor rooftop pool had lots of seating and a full bar restaurant. Our delicious complementary breakfast buffet was served in the lobby restaurant. We enjoyed a drink on the rooftop one evening and watch the sunset. The beautiful spa on 3 had availability for facials, manicures & massages. Shuttle service could take us to Lido Beach, Saint Armands Key, the airport or downtown.

Yes, you can find fancier places with more amenities, but Limetree delivers what is important for a safe family friendly gulf beach experience. Read on to learn why...... Staff: office, maintenance and housekeeping staff were exceptional. They were always welcoming and helpful while their workspaces were totally professional - organized, neat and tidy. Facility: Rental condos were exactly as described, stocked as promised and clean. FYI - Visitors in one unit (No 120) reportedly experienced a consistent humming from electrical systems adjacent. Also, the Internet was disrupted by the storm temporarily, but electricity and air conditioning were reliably constant. Washer/dryer units are available for no charge! During our stay, Hurricane Debby passed by, leaving about 17 inches of rain in one day with very gusty winds. Through the weather was dramatic, we never felt in danger. The building felt solid. Whew! We used the community gas grills, the shared PC, bought postcards, and generally enjoyed the same experience we've had over the years. Plenty of parking is available, and the activity center was refreshed where we played ping pong and reviewd books in the lending library. Site: The beach was substantially augmented with crushed shell/sand. It held up to the storm surge like nothing ever happened. Spectacular sunsets were a treat. We saw dolphins, pelicans, gulls, lots of wading birds including a rosette spoonbill! Entertainment: We loved the Tuesday evening one woman band. Beautiful versatile voice and musician - she had the kids, and some adults, up dancing at sunset. A magical treat! Value: For a family friendly, safe, clean on-the-beach experience- it was amazing! In summary - for the experience controlled/managed by the Limetree, the overall rating is a solid 5 (best). It's what we've come to expect after many years of visits. We hope they continue for our future generations. However - there were some non-controllable factors that downgraded our visitor experience. 1) Temporarily, construction noise from a new development. Swiveling tower cranes, clanging metal, banging, truck traffic immediately adjacent to the Limetree on the north side occurs during the day. We experienced noise from about 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This was not a surprise because Limetree staff informed us of the work. Yet we were grateful to be on the south side of the facility - a little further away. 2) Other people: We were surprised to hear late night (after closing) loud pool parties on several evenings. They stopped before midnight but still it was not expected. We were also disappointed to see people pitch camp (umbrellas, chairs, etc.) between our rented cabanas and the beach - which obstructed our water view. Apparently, there is a public beach strip between Limetree property and the waterline available to anyone. Thus, Limetree could not force them to move, yet, we are used to a Limetree community of kindness - not competition. Thus, the atmosphere at times seemed less friendly this trip. Like the uncontrollable weather, I don't allow these external issues affect the Limetree rating. We'll be back.
