I chose this hotel because of other Trip Advisor reviews. Most Sarasota area hotels in February were on the more expensive side, but this hotel had a decent price. No breakfast was included, but the nice room, updated appearance and refreshing decor made up for it. It is about 20 minutes from the beaches and downtown, but we were right... more

This was our 6th stay at this Holiday Inn and it was every bit as good as the previous 5. The interior has recently been remodelled so each room now has updated soft furnishings and nice flat screen TV. The staff were as coutreous as ever, the facilities spotlessly clean at all times and the Alamo restaurant much above the... more

I ordered room service... more

I had the pleasure of being in town for business in February. I was referred by the client that I was in town to see. I was really looking for a property near to them, but wanted a Ritz Carlton. I have to thank the persistant assistant at my client for singing the Holiday Inn Lakewood Ranch praise's. This was... more

The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly, but disadvantage number one of this hotel in our opinion is the total absence of decent breakfast facilities. O.k., you can have breakfast in the Alamo restaurant attached to the hotel, but this place lacks atmosphere and the breakfast is not value for money. It puzzled us that there was no... more

We stayed here a couple years ago when the hotel was brand new and loved everything about the place. Last week we stayed for three nights from that past experience. The hotel has basically not changed much, however with time certain things start to fade, such as the hall carpet was a little dirty and the curtains to our room... more
