Great location and price
The room was small but perfect for what we needed. The location is amazing especially if you want to see a lot of places. It was easy to get to Lido Beach, Siesta Keys and Tampa. Staff were willing to do anything we needed and the Tiki Hut bar and pool area are really nice. Very affordable and super easy to come in and out whenever we needed.

Nicely restored motel with friendly staff
This is a restored older motel with all the comforts you need. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice old Florida charm
Didn't want to stay in the cookie cutter hotels so found this gem. Comfortable, clean, nice heated pool with lots of poolside seating. Very close to downtown and other attractions. Cute microwave and refrigerator with FREEZER! Quiet yet on a main road.
Debra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Hotel was so awesome and the staff was amazing. The bed was so comfortable and I slept very well.
Andrew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The reviews were correct! Cool place!
I was surprised at how nice this place is. The previous reviews convinced me to stay, and I was intrigued by the retro-vibe in the photos. Check in was easy, the room was large, the bed was comfy, and the blackout drapes helped silence the noise from US41 and the airport. Might have to consider staying there again if I'm ever in Sarasota.

Steve, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Old style motel with nice staff.
Kitchy place with some character. Staff was very nice, and pool area beautiful. However the rooms - notwithstanding the cute retro fridge and microwave - are small, not particularly comfortable, and lacking in some basics: decent soap, even a soap holder for the shower area, a quiet air conditioner that is adjustable in terms of where it blows, etc.

Lovely, quiet respite
This place was a lovely surprise, clean, quiet room with very comfy beds. It must be stated no elevator if you stay on second floor.. Also must note for travelers, the grill outside needs charcoal, not gas. Tiki bar near with gratis cocktails, nice and cute pool atea. Good location.

Fantastic stay
We had a fantastic stay at the Golden Host Resort- front desk staff was super friendly, room was so clean and having a newly renovated place to stay in was such a perk! The 24 hr tea/coffee/cold water was so appreciated by us all and the pool towels were a nice bonus. We loved everything about our stay at the GHR! Thank you!
