“Great Hotel, Great Staff!!”

Reviewed April 30, 2013

I was there for a week on business. Everyone on property was great; the room was clean and comfortable. The Alamo Steakhouse is amazing (I recommend the gator bites)! Make sure to stop by the lake outside to see the alligators too! Great place for business or vacation, the area around is really nice. Thanks for the great week Holiday... More

“Two excelllent stays within a March fortnight!”

Reviewed March 28, 2013

After staying here every year since it was opened, we stayed twice within a fortnight. My wife requested an unscheduled return before we checked out. Soothing, calm and displaying quality in every way, the hotel also offers good access to the sea (45 minutes away) and is close to I 75. The only snag is the pillows which are small... More

“Lovely hotel but beware steaks”

Reviewed July 20, 2011

Thanks so much for your positive response. The Holiday Inn standard for the full service hotels had been the labeled soft and firm pillow. I am in agreement that you either love them or dislike them. That being said, the standard has changed and we ordered the new full size pillow, that should be in any day. I hope you... More

“Nice Holiday Inn”

Reviewed March 27, 2013

Holiday Inns usually fall into one of two categories. Old and dingy or updated and nice. This was closer to the latter. Very nice looking lobby with an attached restaurant. Waterfall display in the lobby with plenty of comfy seating. The room was generally nice and roomy. The bed I was in was not very comfy and the pillows left... More

Thanks so much for evaluating our hotel. I am sorry you were not overjoyed by the restaurant as we usually see rave reviews, especially from our locals. I hope you will come back and try something new. Please stop by and say hello the next time you are in the area Rob Ferguson More

“Compared to What?”

Reviewed March 21, 2013

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my overnight stay here. Nor do I have anything extraordinarily fantastic to report. The place was clean, wi-fi was free, and the front desk gave me a free toothbrush when I told them I had left mine at home. I guess this is the minimum I expect to receive when staying at... More

We stayed here for a week. The on site breakfast was well prepared each day, with loads of fresh fruit and oatmeal, as well as the usual breads, pastries, eggs and bacon. The staff was very friendly and helpful. When my GPS wouldn't locate the Total Wines store, the desk clerk printed a Mapquest for me, without being asked. The... More

“Referred by a full Fairfield Inn & so glad!”

Reviewed March 12, 2013

Was hesitant when our usual Marriott brand hotels were all full in the area. Thankfully Fairfield Inn and Suites Sarasota-Lakewood Ranch kindly referred us to this hotel which was nearby and close to I-75. The stunningly beautiful lobby with fountain was a complete surprise. We did not realize that not only are the Holiday Inn Expresses updated and well done,... More
