Nice and close to everything Dwotown Sarasota has to offer. Bars, Restaurants, a quick ride across the causeway to the Beaches and St. Armands. Hotel rooms are not carpeted. Sounds in adjoining rooms and those above you are easily transmitted. Heard the conversations of the people in the room next to us and the snoring from the person in the room above us. Would not stay here again for the noise issues.
