Top hotels in Bee Ridge

Kompose Boutique Hotel
room was clean, staff was exceptional. when we got off the elevator to our floor there was a bad smell that was there our entire stay. cleaner mixed with a funk. the pool area and hay tub leaves a lot to be desired but for a night or two it's a great choice.
