Well where do I start I can only have 1500 characters to write I had 5000 but here is a short version I am a ADA Advocate had 3 rooms to be next to each other the lady at the front desk had us on the 2nd floor and HELLO have people with disabilities that can't be on the 2nd floor. She screwed up again and only had 3 rooms that were not together she gave our rooms to someone else. Each of the rooms had City & County & ADA laws broken like No fire sprinklers that worked they were frozen with rust and NO smoke detector. Cigarette burn holes in sheets & pee on the toilet seat & holes in the carpet. Tub that leaked water all over the floor in the bathroom and the rooms stink really bad. Pool was closed no breakfast just a bag of things we couldn't eat and the shampoo bottles were used with half gone never changed. Washer & Dryer next to vending machines and were gross with rust all over them. Staff was using a blower on 2nd floor blowing it all over my truck the place is Dirty smelly down right gross. The pictures on the site was photo shopped as they aren't even close looking like what's in these pics. This is a 1 star hotel and below the WIFI LOL! don't work either does the TV service half of the time I am a Diamond Elite Choice Member and this hotel right here Stay Away!! if you expect this place to be to enjoy sorry you won't I think the rats left after there 1st time here LOL! I give fair reviews when warranted but have to call out this hotel for what it truly is and it is.

Ok this is a cheap hotel good only if you cant afford anything better because it is near Lido beach which is nice, however we got no housekeeping due to Covid and I feel like that was not a good thing we stayed 3 nights we needed our room cleaned and clean towels and the front desk went to another room to give us those. I made my reservation on hotel.com in which I have never had a issue before doing so when it says pay at the hotel that's what I do and have done, in this case they had precharged my card before I got there which I was not happy because I wanted to pay with another card and couldn't do that. The water is not hot in the shower the air conditioning was not the best and the 2nd night about 11pm.the fire alarm kept going off at least 4 times they had to call the fire dept and that all lasted like a good hour with it going off and on for no apparent reason, very nerve racking to say the least and I was not accommodated for a free night or anything so my first visit to Sarasota the hotel was not good the beach was beautiful.

Dear Guest,
Your feedback shows that there was a complete breakdown with the stay which is really worrisome. This is not at all a regular feature of our hotel and something has gone wrong. We regret the inconveniences but will investigate and based on that will take all possible steps to prevent such an experience to any guest.Guest reviews are serious for us and thank you for your understanding.

We stayed here for an extended period. We were somewhat hesitant to stay on N Tamiami because the area has a bad reputation. Turns out the area is much better than it used to be in the past. It's okay to walk around in the daytime, but I still would not walk around at night.
As for the hotel itself, first the Pros: larger than normal refrigerator; outstanding selection of tv channels; bed was comfy; parking lot well-lit at night. Close to the airport and Ringling museum. Good sausage patties for breakfast. Andrea working the front desk was fantastic, always very helpful and cheerful. Management would do well to reward her.
Cons: the rooms are terribly in need of major renovation, from the ancient light fixtures, to the furnishings, carpet, and seriously outdated drapes and valance. Ice machine on second floor didn't work. Breakfast was okay, although they need to do something better than those thin, tasteless egg patties.
All in all a comfortable stay, but there are too many hotels in the area with much more modern and up-to-date rooms for us to return here.

Got a pretty good rate for a night while in the area for spring training baseball. The hotel looks like it needs some renovations. Check in went smoothly and the room was ok. The carpet wasn't the cleanest, but I got an ok night's sleep. However, when I went to take a shower the next morning there was standing water in the middle of the bathtub. After I finished my shower I had to physically kick the last of the water to the drain so the next occupant didn't have to deal with standing water. Another thing that was disappointing was the housekeeping staff do not pay attention if you put the privacy sign on your doorknob. Twice they knocked on my door and came into my room even though I was trying to tell them not to. The first time I was still in bed and the second time I was fresh out of the shower and had to scramble to cover up. The breakfast was decent, except that the breakfast sausage had virtually no flavor. I booked a different hotel right up the road for my second night and was much more satisfied there.

I found the experience at Quality Inn North Sarasota to be good, but average. It wasn’t stellar, it wasn’t awful, and for the money it was about as good as we could find in the budget in the area. The exteriors and interiors sport fresh paint in bold colors, there was a mini-fridge, a coffee maker, and a newer-model TV with HBO channels and inputs for a Fire Stick or Chromecast if you like to BYO entertainment.
The hot water was hot quickly, yet the water saving shower head was stingy with it. The room has an open floor plan, and the strangest thing I saw was the Kleenex box dispenser installed into the wall under the coat rack in the doorless closet/nook opposite the iron and ironing board.
The bed was comfy and soft. Adequate pillows and electric outlets with built in USB ports for charging devices conveniently placed by the nightstand make it a pleasant room to be in despite the somewhat sketchy neighborhood.
The only complaints I had were that there is no elevator, so if you are on the second floor with a lot of heavy luggage it’s not fun, and the other nag was that our AC unit didn’t seem to really cool the room adequately. It felt humid and muggy but we got used to it. I suppose I could have asked to move to a different space on the ground floor with better AC, so that’s on me.
Overall, the location was convenient to the Bayfront, where we went to O’Leary’s for fish sandwiches after going to Jungle Gardens to hand-feed flamingoes (see my separate reviews on those places). Parking and WiFi were free, as was the hot breakfast buffet. Waffles, biscuits and gravy, sausage and eggs, along with juice, coffee, muffins, and fruit were all available for free. I would recommend Quality Inn North Sarasota for travelers on a budget.
Hope this is helpful to you. Thanks for reading.
