"Small, hip boutique hotel, with just nine rooms and excellent service; crisp, stylish rooms come with plasma TVs, hardwood floors... full kitchens and free wi-fi, and it’s an easy walk to Main St."

"The nine rooms feel like a designer's brownstone apartment: free-spirited and effortlessly artful, but with real working kitchens. It's urban funk, walkable to downtown Sarasota." Full review
