I was extremely happy with my stay at Carlisle Inn. We were there o visit because my nephew was graduating from high school. Everyone was so nice and the entire hotel was very clean. It was definitely the best place I have stayed. The only complaint was we ate WAY too much, but that was on us. The breakfast at the hotel was great and the eating place next door was fantastic. Not to leave out the cookies at 4pm at the hotel. Thank you so much and we will see you next time we visit.

The beautifully landscaped property was it for me! As we drove onto the property, I knew we had chosen the right place to lodge for 4-days and 3-nights. When we initially walked through the doors, we were warmly greeted by two woman at the front desk (I forget their names, sorry!) and an older gentleman who, sadly, did not acknowledge us at all. We did not allow his subtle facial gestures to prevent us from having a great time in the Sarasota area. However, the day before we left, as we had come in from a late lunch, he faintly smiled at us. Our room was by the elevator on the 2nd floor; it was quite spacious, meticulously clean, and comfortable. We slept very well each night. Breakfast was complimentary and delicious! There was a large assortment of pastries, baked goods, waffles one can make, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, link sausages, cold cereal, fresh fruit, fruit cocktail, milk, fresh orange juice, other juices, and hot beverages. There was a very kind gentleman who managed the dining area. The women who prepared breakfast were very kind and friendly. I must acknowledge Becky!! She was genuinely personable and perky, and asked us about our stay as we checked out. All in all, we enjoyed our stay! We would consider lodging at Carlisle Inn again.

We made a last minute decision to spend two nights at the Carlisle Inn for graduation events. We made a great choice! We booked a regular room and received a complimentary upgrade to a room with a full kitchen which was lovely because I had to work on the Friday we were there, and the island connected to the kitchen was ideal for meetings. The hotel staff helped my husband find quiet meeting rooms/spaces for his meetings. The breakfast was delicious with fresh eggs, sausage, homemade biscuits, baked oatmeal, and fresh pastries from the bakery along with the usual hotel breakfast fare connected to the hotel. It was the first time I’ve looked forward to breakfast on the second morning of my stay at a hotel in a long time. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the beds were really comfortable. Their motto is peace and comfort, and the hotel exemplified that motto. If I need to stay in the Sarasota area again in the future, I’ll return to the Carlisle Inn. (Note: It’s not in the downtown area or right by the beach, but both are easily accessible, and the quieter area contributed to the peaceful feeling there.)

This is a wonderful place to stay. The well appointed rooms with comfortable beds are spotlessly clean along with the hallways, lobby, and pool area. The Inn is quiet and peaceful notwithstanding its size. The complimentary breakfasts are restaurant quality. The staff is helpful and friendly. Next door is an excellent restaurant and bakery serving comfort food at great prices. Parking is free and the location is convenient to everything. All this and reasonable room rates too. This place is a real gem in Sarasota!

Best hotel in Sarasota for our needs. Nothing fancy, but extremely clean and well-maintained with very friendly & helpful staff. Love the sprinkle of Amish finishes and spacious design, along with the adjacent restaurant, bakery, and retail store. Complimentary cookies from 4-8 pm are a hit with the kids, and the daily breakfast is a cut above what you might expect. By far our favorite place to stay in Sarasota.
