Carlisle Inn
Room was large and spotless. Bonus walk in closet which also had a sink and counter. Could be used for a portable crib, as it had a pocket door. Hallways are wider than any other hotel that I have been in.

Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
The Golden Host Inn is great place to stay. It is cute and nostalgic. It is an older property that has been refurbished. The pool is really pretty. The tiki bar has a lot of character. All the linens are clean and fresh. The price was very reasonable and my husband and I had fun.
