Positief: Netheid
Good Location with Quirks and Noise
Location is part of 3 buildings with multiple rooms on site. Room directly above this one. It is centrally located for getting to Sarasota & Siesta Key. Access code is with coffee shop.
Positives:
Staff is very friendly & prompt. We interacted with several, including Jessica (the owner), and each one was pleasant and helpful.
Restaurant onsite (not the coffee shop - we never made it there) was quaint & rustic. Dinner was delicious & we ate every bite. Staff even set us up at a reserved table of our choosing after check in.
The stage & band are just outside your door. We had a reserved table just behind & to the side of the band.
Owner left a bottle of wine which we enjoyed while watching the band. Nice touch.
Good storage, unless you want to use your suitcase instead of unpacking everything. A folding luggage table would be a nice addition, but not a deal breaker.
Negatives.
This room has 4 doors in it. 3 will likely give you some light at bedtime. The bathroom door is 1 (we'll get back to this one). Then there is the PITA one, the one behind the headboard. It leads to the stairwell to the upstairs room & the light was on 24/7. At night, this door lit up like a bright yellow rectangle. It also transmits the noise of anyone taking the stairs to your restful noggin at night. Entry door has attached horizontal blinds over the window that don't cover the window flush. Someone covered some panes, but those last 2 on top let the street lamp outside cut across the face of the person sleeping on the side closest to the bathroom. We hung something over the blinds. The last door leads to the laundry room. Another bright yellow rectangle of light if this light doesn't get turned off. Luckily, you can access the laundry via your room to shut it off.
There is AC in the room, but it's a wall unit on the other side of the room from the bed. Annoying, the bed is tucked back a little, making air flow poor to the head portion of the bed. Worse, if you leave that bathroom door open, you block the air. It takes a lot for that unit to overcome FL heat. Warm until around 2 am at full blast on most nights.
If someone is upstairs, you will hear EVERY step they take. If they take the stairs, same thing. We had a night owl.
No cable in room. Firestick only with a poor connection & few choices.
Under bed was super dust bunny farm.
Lack of decor in room.
No shower mat for floor.
Trash can lid broken.
Onsite food options closed M-W.
Some road noise.
