“Nice staff, Great location, Great small business meeting facilities, and Clean rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

I really liked this hotel despite a few shortcomings. The staff was knowledgable, helpful, and very friendly. The rooms were crisp and clean. I loved the control I had on room temp! Very easy to operate unlike mamy cryptic thermostats.
The bed was comfortable with ample excellent pillows, but coukd have been a little softer for me. The couches and chairs were niceand the bed serving tray was a nice touch!
The TV and channel selection were great! The wi-fi was slow though. I switched to my phone as it was faster. Speaking of phone...after 4 days my network (ATT) ceased to function inside the hotel. ?? It worked outside just fine though. The iron and ironing board were good too.
The bathroom was very nice with a huge walk-in shower (I had a suite). The towels were always fresh and the essentials were all there.
The downsides: the floors were worn and in my room (329) they had gaps and bad wear in spots. The trim around the vanities needed new paint as they were worn. That's it...nothing major.
I come to Sarasota often and this will be my new hotel of choice.

“comfortable, friendly and relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

We were to stay at the Ritz Carlton for a conference which was full. We were directed here and stayed for 5 nights.
This was a wonderful stay from the time of registering. The staff were all relaxed, friendly, accomodating and knowledgeable. It is the kind of place in which you can run downstairs to borrow a couple of wine glasses or a corkscrew, deal directly with the person who "possesses" it and get back to you room in 2 minutes.
We didn't hear a sound from adjacent rooms during 5 nights. The rooms are lovely. Ours did not have a bath, but had a large shower. No balcony.
There is free parking- our friends at the Ritz paid $25/ day. Free Wifi- at the Ritz- $11/day.
Bikes for your use outside.
We didn't eat here.
Overall, we felt pampered and relaxed. The staff were problem solvers and facilitating. Highly recommended and although not cheap, by our standards, felt it excellent value.

“Unbelievable Food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2013

I never though on a business trip in Sarasota, I would find the hotel bistro to have the most delicious and creative dishes in the city! Even if you are not staying at Hotel Indigo, you must come have dinner at H2O Bistro! I recommend anything on the "Specials" board! Bravo Chef Sol!!!

“Thank you so much for your gift !!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Hotel Indigo with my elderly parents who thought they died and went to heaven! From the gorgeous decor to the royal treatment that they gave us it was a perfect experience in every way! AND before we left a young lady by the name of Julia shared a special gift with me that I will always cherish! Thanks Julia and staff for being so kind to us! We will definitely stay again :) Dr. Deborah Lippi PhD., Key West, Florida

“Treated like family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

We arrived in Sarasota to find the hotel we originally booked was not up to par, so we looked for a better choice. We found the hotel Indigo using trip advisor and booked online. I had forgotten to ask for a AAA discount when i booked the hotel. When we arrived Melody greeted us and I asked for the discount, he smiled and agreed. Our room was very clean, roomy, and comfortable. We inquired about dinner and how long the guitarist would continue to play. Melody said not long but that he might continue if the crowd wanted him to. We asked if there was a seperate dinning room available. She said no, but she would gladly seat us in their boardroom. It was perfect. She stayed with for a short tome to ensure we were taken care of and to tell us a little about the area. Andrew was our waiter. We could not ask for better. The food was great. If you are looking for a hotel with a pool you will be dissapointed. They have two pools, one is a heated spa and the other is a cooled spa. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown. We enjoyed the farmers market and a walk by the marina.

Room Tip: Take a high floor to get away from the lounge

Mark L, we are happy to have made you feel so at home and of course feeling like you are being treated as if you were with your family is a plus. It gives such a personal touch to an experience when you can say you were “treated like family”. Thank you for mentioning members of our staff, they always enjoy hearing their names in guest reviews. Again thank you for your nice comments and please come back soon!
