Sarasota, Florida
Nicely decorated privately owned Studio hotel room, “waterfront executive suite” at the Ramada Inn Sarasota. Deluxe brand new king size bed - two adults max, no kids in room please...beautifully tiled throughout with glass enclosed shower. Right on the Sara Bay marina - on site restaurant and tiki bar is a short walk away - heated pool and fitness center for your convenience.
The room comes with all linens and towels as any hotel room, bring extra towels for longer stays, there is a laundry located in the next building, as housekeeping is not included, but can be purchased any day desired directly from the The front desk. hotel breakfast is not available, but Crager’s restaurant next door is far superior and gives a 10% discount for my condo guests.
Cleaning fee is $50, my cost because of Covid cleaning protocols…
Boat rides/Boat rentals Call the front desk… my former manager Todd, who many of you knew, passed away a year ago, and now any maintenance or other issues are handled by the hotel and Navid Kichi, the owner of the hotel, please contact him at the front desk with any issues
We strive to earn a five star review that helps our VRBO guest ratings and is very important.
The setting right on the marina with water and boats just a dozen steps from the door makes it feel like you're at a resort. Breakfast at Cragans is a 3 minute walk. The Tarpon Bay grille right on the property has music and good food. It's hopping on Friday and Saturday. All around 5 stars
It was a beautiful vacation! The host was very helpful when I had a question. The room was exactly what I expected. It was very clean and comfortable. It was directly on the bay. The views of the sunset were gorgeous. The property was nice. The pool was only a few steps from the room as well as the on site restaurant / bar. I would definitely book again.
Absolutely loved our stay at this condo! Perfect location . Close to everything and has an amazing view! Cant wait to come back.
Awesome location. Well kept. Loved the pool and Tiki Bar.
I loved the Champaign welcome in the check-in area! Never have I ever had such a wonderful welcome! I also loved the picnic tables out in the back along the water. I actually made some new friends!
The staff/ Marina/ atmosphere/ pool/ Tiki Bar & restaurant! Todd was efficient and very helpful with any questions..
The mattress was absolutely terrible they gave us a different one that was just as bad. The Saturday night of our stay got woken up at 3 am with people outside of my room talking very loudly had to call front desk . We cut our trip a day short .
We stayed her for 19 days. The unit was as described. All issues were addressed quickly. The covered patio area right outside the door almost seemed to be an extension of the unit. Proximity to the tiki bar and pool were a big plus. Gorgeous sunsets and we even saw manatees in the marina. We would stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay very much. More towels would have been nice for the length of time we were there but we were prepared for that by a previous review and knew to bring some. No issues with this room.
Overall, nice location and place to stay for the price. Note: first two days the A/C was not working properly but fixed on the last day of our visit. Also, the faucet handle is very hard to move back and forth and the shower light flickers off and on.
Room was comfortable. Really enjoyed the pool and bar on property. Great room for the price. Would stay again.
The floors were filthy. The sink faucet did not work. Attempted 3 times to contact on site mgr. and never answered, didnt have voice mail set up. Looked at previous reviews back in January and same complaints. Nothing was fixed. Bed was comfortable and nice sitting areas outside.
While our 7 day stay was good and the room was clean, the furniture was old and banged up. The entrance door to the room was very old and difficult to open. The moldy smell took time to get used to every time we came back to the room. There was a missing towel rack in the bathroom and broken light switch cover. The shower with dual lowering shower heads was amazing. The water faucet in the sink was very difficult to turn on and harder to turn for hot or cold water. However, the view from our doorway of the waterfront was as beautiful as advertised. Large yachts were all around. The location was very good and provided easy access to stores, restaurants, and area sights. The Ramada Inn staff was wonderful. We'd give 3 stars mainly due to the moldy smell that caused us allergy issues. Please note: We have been unable to contract owner to tell him of these issues since we returned home.
This is a old updated motel room with a worn leather recliner. Desk/chair no table to eat at. Picnic tables under tiki hut outside door Not for extended stay over 2 nights. The place is clean to look at but floors where dirty walking from bathroom to the bed our feet where filthy don’t know last time mopped the tile floor. The furniture also needed cleaned. bed was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed driving to the nearby beaches and found several good restaurants
Was disappointed on 4 night stay with two people only having 3 washcloths and three towels. We did get email after we left Wisconsin that we might want to bring more towels but that was too late. 3 more garbage bags would have been great. The faucet on sink we had a hard time with. Otherwise it worked out great. Having the outside tables and chairs were great. Bed was comfortable Light bulb was burned out over bathroom vanity. We did not bother the manager with that though
Good food
Great place, nice vibe!
Door key didn’t always work. Not enough towels and toilet paper to last over a day or two. Clean, cozy, and not a bad location. Bit pricey for size but served its purpose.
The unit we stayed in had a good location -view of the Marina. The furniture in the room was extremely oversized for the small space and very ragged. The drapes are falling down and quite frankly hideous. Men might find this place acceptable but most women would not enjoy this room. The faucet on the sink is difficult to shut off completely and there is a huge gap behind the vanity so we lost some stuff behind there. The hotel itself is fine, it’s right in the flight path of Sarasota/Bradenton which was fine for us but might be an issue for others due to the noise. With all the fees added on for cleaning and Vrbo fees, it’s would be cost effective to simply stay in one of the hotel rooms…and you would get a free breakfast. I’m an investor as well and know the difficulties with properties like this. But the owners need to seriously invest in some more comfortable furniture and decor so it doesn’t feel like you’re staying in a the worst EconoLodge when you’re in the room.
Very clean, good restaurant on site and walking distance to great breakfast restaurant Carvers. Short drive to city center.
Perfect escape, nothing fancy, just a hotel room with a great view of marina and sunsets. Restaurant on premise, close to everything you need. Only recommendation would be a full length mirror, a wine opener and two wine glasses. We will rent again!! Thank you!
My sister joined us and stayed in room 117. Very clean and comfortable!
I had the harbor view and it was great to watch the boats come and go. Restaurant was good w a wonderful sunset. Room was clean and as advertised. Would stay here again !!
