Great restaurant and bar/bartender. Best thing is the location, just steps from Lido Beach and only a very short walk to Saint Armand’s, which is a very fun place to eat and shop.
Room was clean and comfy, staff was pleasant. No free coffee was a disappointment, along with the broken elevator. Parking is super easy and the ocean view was absolutely perfect.
Staff was exceptional. Rooms were great and what a view of the ocean and beach. It was a quiet hotel but nice to be able to take shuttle to sister hotel- Lido Beach Resort if we wanted some more fun by pool and beach. Loved the location and walking to St. Armand’s circle every night.
The rooms were beautiful, and all the amenities were high end. 5 stars! the location was great and within walking to shopping, restaurants, and the beach.
Room and bathroom were great! Food at Ringside was good too, expect one member of our party who got bad chicken and was sick in the bathroom all night. It's a new place, and still has some bugs to work out
It was a wonderful beautifully decorated hotel. It is small and intimate and the staff is great and the food is wonderful. It is our new favorite place in the sarasota area, the staff was outstanding!
excellent service. convenient shuttle to St. Armand's Circle

The staff was great,and very friendly.Wonderful view from the 7th floor.My only issue is receiving an email after we arrived stating"Congratulations,you have a free upgrade" for free breakfast both mornings.Upon inquiry,I'm told I don't qualify. Manager chose to do nothing. Poor choice for customer service.
Wonderful boutique hotel with a circus theme. Just opened so all the rooms are new. Lots of thought went into things like a place to put luggage, sliding bathroom doors for space, great bathroom.
Staff were all friendly and helpful.
Bar has great bartenders for unusual drinks, and the restaurant has really good breakfasts.
Next to the public beach and if you want chairs, etc., the sister property is a 3 minute walk away.
