The Sarasota Modern, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Really enjoy this stay. Everything was extremely clean in the rooms. Front desk staff are very helpful with whatever you need. Pool and bar area is one of the best I’ve seen in awhile. I will book again in the future.

My husband and I stayed there July 20, 2025. It was our first time there and we were able to upgrade to a junior suite which was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We're local to the Sarasota area and just stayed one night to get out of the house. The pools were very clean and the area was comfortable...plenty of umbrellas to escape from the sun. Lively outdoor bar. We also dined inside at Wink, Wink and sat at the bar. We were served by Lexi during the day and Mike in the evening. Both were excellent bartenders and made us feel very comfortable. Service and drinks were great. I would highly suggest this property, as its and easy walk to downtown Sarasota and also to walk over the Ringling Bridge for some excercise.

We had lots of issues with our booking, we were supposed to have parking etc included, but took days to sort this. Two staff members seemed quite confused about what to do, but the male staff member the next day reassured us a lot and told us it would 100% be sorted. Bed was not very comfortable and pillows were awful, they looked very plump, but as soon as you laid down on them they deflated like a sad balloon. Restaurant had very limited choice, and it had different food on the room service menu which we were not allowed to order in the restaurant itself (why?) Food in restaurant was mixed, burger was nice, but the steak was barebones and just covered in a sauce that did not taste great. One server in restaurant was very rude too chasing after us in an aggressive way because I hadn't signed the receipt (which was already paid, not charged to the room) Pool and some of the other hotel amenities were amazing, as was "Reggie" the VW bus we could use as a free taxi. The fact we could get as much free water as needed was great and badly needed. As I said, very mixed, I enjoyed the room and loved the 3 pools. but some parts ruined the experience.

The property was very close to restaurants shopping and the bay.

Overall, it was a great experience - I liked it so much, I've already booked a return trip while I was staying in the hotel. However, some of the staff seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. I had a few questions upon checking in the person behind the desk was less then enthusiastic when speaking with me. Once I was in my room, I noticed the hotel room door didn't lock; they sent someone to come fix it but he told me it wasn't broken & wouldn't really take anything else for an answer, so my entire four night stay the door was half unlocked. Later that first day, I noticed the patio door didn't lock; the hotel sent someone to fix it, which they did with gracious speed. Day two my tv wasn't working, when I called to have someone look at it they didn't have anyone available, had to wait until the next day. Day 3, tv didn't work, they sent someone to fix it. Day 4, tv didn't work, they once again sent someone to fix it. Aside from the room issues, it was a nice stay. The pool/cabanas/wink wink restaurant was great. Kelly at the pool bar is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! She really made our time at the pool wonderful, same with Jersey. I was able to meet Brittney as well, the three of them deserve a raise, really great customer service. Would recommend & plan to stay again, just hope to have less issues in the room!

People at the hotel were extremely helpful and kind. Our only issue was both of our bedside plugs didn’t work and it made it difficult to charge our devices for the next day. Other than that, the stay was great.
