Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound
Recently stayed for a work trip. The staff was lovely and helpful. The hotel has lovely touches (full bottles of water in the room), clean rooms, comfortable beds. Loved the convenience of a full restaurant right beside the hotel. Location was perfect.

Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
It is located near the places I need to visit when I'm in Sarasota. Its clean, safe and staff is very friendly. It has a funky 60s retro style and I don't need much more for a quick trip. Great price!
