Siesta Inn Sarasota - Indian Beach

Air conditioner in room takes a long time to cool off and did not cool off the room enough. In the room we were in, the deadbolt did not work. Only the lock on the knob worked, which made me feel a little unsafe.

Surprised there were no bugs! First, the charged my card before I ever got there. They charged the full amount. I thought it was weird because no one’s ever done that before. The front desk lady was rude and couldn’t look like she hated her life more. There was so many signs and little rules all over the plastic hanging between you and front desk. Most importantly being that you have to call them 5 minutes before you check out so they can come up to the room and look at it. By the way, there is no phone in the rooms. Thankfully, the front desk person in the morning was very nice and told me not to worry about it. I think he was the owner. We got a physical key and it didn’t lock the deadbolt, just the handle. The door locking mechanism was wobbly and had definitely been kicked in before. Didn’t feel very safe there, though nothing happened. Honestly, if I had known they had weekly rates, I wouldn’t have stayed here. I was also surprised that there weren’t any bugs in my room. That’s not something you’re usually happy about at a hotel. I do like that the check in was at 3:00 pm and check out was at 11:00 am because most places are 4:00 pm and 10:00 am. And the AC was on the far wall where the closet was, as far from the bed as you could get. It was so hot in there that we decided to leave it going, then get something to eat and hoped it cooled the room down by the time we got back.

Neat, Clean , comfortable and reasonable rates. I would recommend it an ideal choice to stay.
