We stayed at the Southland Inn October 18 - 25. Everything said in previous reviews is true. Our apartment was immaculate upon our arrival, older in appearance and furnishings, but more than adequate for our needs. Staff is top-notch in all aspects! Pool was sparkling clean with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. Towels were pure white, fluffy and replenished every... more

I have just spent my second stay here and had to write to let you all know about this gem. Yes its a "budget inn" set on US41 but it's extremely clean, there's very little traffic at night and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I stayed here primarily to use as a base while I went on a... more

We were in Sarasota for the July 4th weekend and booked the Southland based on the TripAdvisor reviews. It's true that the overall appearance is of an Old Florida motel, but that's where any negativism ends. The whole place was spotless, and very comfortable, and of course it is convenient to everything the area has to offer. The staff couldn't... more

I had booked another room in Sarasota then began reading reviews on tripadvisor. I decided to cancel the 1st reservation and book with Southland after reading all the reviews. I am definately glad I did!!! This hotel warrents all the praise it receives. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. Housecleaning seemed to come... more

I have been to Sarasota for the first time and chosen the Southland Inn only because of the good reviews and the perfect location (across the street of my son's college). I was given a room on the second floor. The room was comfortable, but more than anything else was spotless clean, which is most important. The kitchenette was brand... more

My wife and I booked this hotel for 3 nights from July 26 as it was rated #1 in Sarasota by trip advisor. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. We hadn't even got out of our car in the hotel car park before we were confronted by a man begging for money. He was sweating profusely and... more

We spent just one night here and we have no complaints about anything-lovely Cuban check-in girl/free parking/pool/wonderful beds and pillows-we had room 136 upstairs. Great A/C, spotless kitchen, great shower. Convenient to everything! Would stay again-wish we had more time. more

I love my Tripadvisor reviewers. On this hotel they are spot on. The one thing I would like to emphasize is the beds and pillows are very comfortable. more

We love everything about Southland Inn. It is a very clean place with a friendly staff. It is well located close to beaches, free ski shows, park concerts, nice restaurants, Saturday Markets, church, and parks. All are a short drive away. We have met many nice people who also return every year and have become good friends. Above all it... more

We booked the Southland after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and were not disappointed. The rooms were clean as was the pool. The location was perfect and the staff was extremely helpful with directions and recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. We would definitely vacation there again. It was an amazing value. more
