First Impressions of the Hotel…read more I've just arrived at the hotel for a business trip, and I must say the first impressions are mostly positive. The hotel has a charming exterior and an interior with a vintage vibe, but in a good way. It's got character. Upon arrival, the receptionist was friendly and helpful, which always makes a great first impression. The parking situation was a bit tricky, though. There is limited parking on-site, but they do have an overflow lot not far away, which is convenient, but still something to keep in mind. The room itself is spacious and adequate. It includes a nice balcony, a TV, and a desk for work. However, there was no refrigerator, which I found a bit inconvenient. Also, there was a slight odd smell in the room, but it wasn't overpowering or unpleasant--just a bit of an odd first impression. One of the highlights of the stay is the complimentary breakfast, which is always a nice touch. But I do have to mention a one thing. There was a small bench at the foot of the bed that I didn't notice was possibly damaged. When I sat down, I unexpectedly sank into it, which was a bit of a surprise. All in all, the hotel meets my needs for this trip. It's got some character and charm, but there are a few areas that could use some improvement.

The room appeared clean at first glance, but there were many signs it hadn't been cleaned well in a while. In the bathroom there was a lot of dirt around the perimeter and in the corners, and in the room I found a lone cheeto. Breakfast was adequate. There was cereal, hot oatmeal with toppings, avariety of breads, bagels, and muffins, and 2 hot items (seemingly breakfasts sandwiches and either scrambled eggs or crustless mini quiches). They also had those bulk hard-boiled eggs that are always cooked to unnatural firmness. They could have used some cut fruit.

I wish I knew his name because he truly deserves recognition for his kindness and professionalism. He makes the check-in experience so pleasant and sets a positive tone for the entire stay.

You can tell the staff take pride in keeping everything well-maintained and making guests feel at home. The prices are reasonable, which makes staying here an easy choice. This Best Western is comfortable, relaxing, and clearly managed by people who care about their guests. Highly recommend it!

Home2 Suites by Hilton is one of my favorite Hilton brands to stay at. I travel often, and having…read moreHilton Honors Diamond status definitely keeps me coming back. This stay was for a quick overnight work trip. I arrived pretty late -- completely exhausted and starving after a three-hour drive -- but the hotel was easy to find with GPS, parking was simple, and I was greeted right away by two very polite front desk associates. The lobby is beautifully maintained and nicely decorated. There's a coffee bar right when you walk in, which is a great touch (though I'm not sure how frequently it's replenished throughout the day). My room was on the second floor, and it was spotless. One of the reasons I love Home2 Suites is how spacious the rooms feel. It truly feels more like a mini apartment than a standard hotel room. There are so many functional spaces to set your things down without feeling cramped. I had a full-size bed, a couch, and a long counter that could easily serve as a workspace for two people at once. I especially appreciate having the option to prepare your own meals. When you travel often, sometimes you just want to stay in and not eat out for every single meal. The bathroom was roomy with amazing hot water -- exactly what I needed to relax my muscles after that long drive. I slept great, no noise issues at all, and woke up fully refreshed. I didn't try the breakfast because my boss had suggested we go out instead. My only general suggestion -- and this applies to many hotels -- would be to focus on serving more fresh, real breakfast options. When you're staying at a Hilton property, you expect quality across the board, including the food. Overall, this was a great stay, and I would absolutely return.

My husband had a conference, and I had a soccer game so it worked out. Got here a little later than expected so I called the front desk before arriving. The lady greeted me kindly and let me know she would be at the desk until later on. I was happy to hear because when I finally arrived, she was actually there. I was greeted with a warm smile and she quickly checked me in so we could get settled. I asked about some amenities I may need and she pointed me to the right direction. They have a washer and dryer, which is something I do use when I go on vacation. The actual room was spacious. Always a plus when it's a couple of people in the room. It was clean and maintained so throughout our stay. Overall great hotel. The only "complaint" I have is the mattress however I feel like this is common in most hotels. Wasn't the best mattress that I have ever laid on but it worked for the couple of nights I stayed.

As others have noted in their reviews, Ken and Jeff are constantly working to keep up this lovely family resort. It is clean and landscaped beautifully, and the rooms are just right! With a sitting area in our two bedroom, we enjoyed the recliner and couch as we watched movies in the evening. In our full kitchen, we stocked the refrigerator from the local Publix and made our breakfast and lunch, which we packed for the beach. Many guests chose to grill out as we saw when we would load up to go to a local restaurant for dinner, but we preferred eating out! On our first night at Hurricane Hanks restaurant down the road, we met up with a resident who offered us more ideas for restaurants for dinner. There's nothing like walking right out onto the beach to spend a morning watching the waves, seeing dolphins frolic, observing osprey catching their breakfast, and swimming in the water among schools of fish. Many of the guests knew each other from yearly vacations, and we have already made our reservation for next year! Anna Maria Island is quiet and family friendly. White Sands Resort offers shuffleboard and corn hole right next to the pool, but the best show is the sunset. On our first night, we were surprised to see how many lined the beach to see God's beauty, of course clapping at the end! Thank you to Ken, Jeff, Joy, and Esther for a wonderful stay. We wish you the best in the coming year, and we look forward to seeing you again!

We were truly shocked and disappointed to learn that the Sarasota Ritz-Carlton eliminated its…read moretraditional Mother's Day Brunch Buffet in 2026 after decades of providing a luxury holiday dining experience for loyal guests and local families. For generations, many of us have celebrated Mother's Day and Father's Day at this location. Especially after the hardships families endured following the recent hurricanes, it was heartbreaking to see such a beloved tradition suddenly removed and replaced with what felt like a far less luxurious alternative. What makes this even more surprising is that other Ritz-Carlton locations across Florida and beyond continue to offer their renowned holiday brunch buffets. Luxury resorts are expected to maintain the traditions and elevated experiences that guests return for year after year. The decision also reflects a larger decline in consistency at this location, including noticeable reductions in buffet quality and offerings during other holidays such as Easter. Loyal members and longtime guests have noticed these changes, and many are now choosing to celebrate elsewhere. We have supported this resort for over 20 years, bringing multiple generations of mothers, grandmothers, and families to celebrate special occasions. To remove such an iconic tradition with very little notice was deeply disappointing. We sincerely hope management reconsiders these decisions moving forward, because many loyal locals and longtime guests no longer feel this location reflects the luxury and five-star experience it once proudly represented.
