Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
I was pleasantly surprised how nice my motel experience was. The front desk gentleman was very kind and helpful. He made me feel like a queen. I was on the 2nd floor. When we had a rain downpour the noise was quite loud from the ceiling so if you are a light sleeper that could bother you.

Very clean, amazing location for us with great restaurants near by and beach access. It is a bit further from the main beach and town

Tropical Breeze Resort
The property met our needs for the most part. Our room was the standard and did not have a microwave which would have been helpful. But other than that, there was no complaints. The pool and outdoor area were beautiful. The spa I feel like gave us itchy skin though so I would stay clear of that.
