Top Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium Hotel Reviews

voco Sarasota by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was available for early check in which was so convenient. Personal touches were appreciated, thanks Tiffany."

Golden Host Resort - Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and fun property. We enjoyed the retro look and feel."

The Westin Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very clean. Walkability was great to downtown area with lots of shops, restaurants and the local farmer's market. Rooftop pool was wonderful. I thought $50 for daily parking and a $22 daily resort fee is a bit much but overall, I would stay at this location again."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota, FL

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time! Location is perfect to the Main Street. Also a short drive to the beach."

Aloft by Marriott Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"Great place"

Art Ovation Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed for three nights at Art Ovation and were impressed by the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. The amenties were great!"

THE RESERVE RETREAT

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room above the Italian restaurant! A little of the camaraderie in the restaurant as diners discussed the evening didn’t bother me, but just be aware if you’re put right above the restaurant there is a little noise. The other rooms out lying on the property would not have this. My room was very well appointed and spacious as well as the bathroom. Would stay here again!"

Cirque St. Armands Beachside

8/10 Good

"Cirque hotel has a sister hotel less than a mile walking distance. They do offer a shuttle that can take you back and forth. The sister hotel has a tiki bar by the pool which offers food as well. They have a private beach with chairs and towels and a small fee for umbrella usage. Cirque is clean and they have a lovely staff."

The Resort at Longboat Key Club

8/10 Good

"Very nice upscale place. Just a little pricey."
