Dump - old tired building with staff who look like characters from the walking dead. Lots of NO signs everywhere and a tiki bar filled with loud patrons enjoying really bad imitation rock music
Sorry no coffee but feel free to spend three minutes making your own individual cup very slowly

Positives: the staff was very friendly. They had the largest breakfast buffet I've ever seen with all the hot and cold options, including both waffle and pancake makers. The hotel is on a water inlet with boats which is nice. The swimming pool and patio is also very nice. There's a tiki bar outside on the premises too. My room seemed recently updated with new flooring and very large comfy bed and very large flat screen tv, the largest I've ever seen in a hotel. The general location was great, very close to the airport and between Sarasota and Bradenton, with both easily accessible. The downside: The location is also on a major six lane road. So be warned, light sleepers: the rooms on the highway side are very noisy due to the trucks, motorcycles and bumping bass in cars that can be heard all night long. I had a hard time sleeping even with ear plugs, and ended up putting a pillow over my head. It became even noisier around 6-7am with morning traffic. Having the fan/AC on constantly helped a tiny bit but that creates it's own noise that can be bothersome. In sum, it's a nice place to stay but if you need quiet and can afford the upcharge, be sure to book a water view room.
