Azul Resort Siesta Key
Beautiful place. Check out is at 10 - a bit early. I asked to stay a couple hours in the parking spot so we could go to the beach. It was affirmative and we left 2 hours later, which is the time that was relayed. Then I was charged $11.25. That was not relayed that there would be a charge.

Spark by Hilton Sarasota Siesta Key Gateway
The hotel was not a hotel but a motel... they only had bagels for breakfast there was no hot food. The rooms were very small VERY small. The room was clean but the tub was stained and could use an update... This was just a 3 night get away for us but i would of been a little upset if we'd of stayed ...
