We would definately stay at the Golden Host again!
By Colleen, 1/10/09
We took a spur-of-the-moment 2-night trip to Sarasota. We had originally booked (from the airport) at the Extended Stay on Tamiami Trail. (What a nightmare that place is...BTW!). We checked out and went down the street to THE GOLDEN HOST and were pleasantly surprised. The young lady at the desk was very nice and helpful. It was long before "check-in" time and she allowed us to check in anyway. The pool was the best part. We love lying by the pool and no only was it nice, but the landscaping is beautiful.

Excellent Stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/27/07
This is now my favorite place to stay while I visit my family in sarasota. We had just driven in town & upon realizing that we will be needing a hotel room for the week, we booked rooms here. The staff here is amazing, they will go out of their way to help you out. I even had them print out my boarding passes for my flight out of Tampa on the day we left. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Our kids spent their entire trip in the pool. This is now better than camping up in one room at my grandmother's house. We had 2 rooms by the pool, very clean & well furnished. Housekeeping would come in daily & clean up our room despite my very messy teenage kids. Love this place will definately recommend them to all our friends.

Run...don't walk away from this Hotel!!!!!!!!!!
By notmpressed450, 1/27/07
We stayed at this "resort", and I use this term loosely. On Jan. 19th we got there pretty late, around 11pm, but we asked for two rooms. The outside looked pretty decent, but they were renovating the lower floor. The front desk set us up in two rooms, (You guess it!)the ones that were not renovated and they were really bad. The bathroom was nasty and dirty. The rooms were dusty and unkept. In one room the t.v wasn't working and in the other, the hot water didn't work. Even the pictures on the walls were so dusty you could hardly see it was a picture of. I went down to the front desk and had taken picture of the room with my cell, and the desk person didn't even want to see them. After telling her about the scum in the bath tub, she apologized, and politely gave me some windex, and some "purple stuff" and offered to give me a sock to clean with(of course I used a towel from my room). The desk person told us she was going to send us her "best girl" to clean our rooms the next day. The next morning, some lady,who I wasn't even sure work there, apparently was her "best girl." I thought she was one the local women from the "bar" next door. At that point, I started throwing my clothes in a bag and was standing outside waiting for the rest of my party. While standing outside I noticed one of the "locals" apparently a "working girl" was stand by the hotel on the pay phone. So please....please..pass by this hotel, don't even look at it.

Horrible service and cleanliness
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/10/06
Hotel Managers were rude when dealing with the problems at their own hotel, which only added to my enjoyment of a non-smoking room which smelled like smoke, BO (a real bad locker room), and mold/mildew (which was all over the bathroom). I also realize that a continental breakfast is what it is, but I feared for my health. This place served to turn me off of Best Western's for life.

Will definately revisit!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/17/05
This place is at a perfect location in Sarasota, not far away from the beaches and very close to the airport. Their pool side rooms are the best, where you can basically walk out to the pool and relax & not worry about anything else. A great place for good value & price.

Not worth it.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/11/05
The front desk was very unfriendly, generally unknowledgeable and largely unhelfpul. Management showed little concern for the customer. The price was extraordinarily high for the neighborhood. I discovered several similar options in the immediate vicinity for half the price. I won't stay at this hotel anymore.

A good decision
By AA, 11/15/04
The place was a very good location for my stay while on a business meeting in Sarasota. it is really close to the airport so there was one convenience factor involved. Also the staff was very curteous and helpful. The room I was in was a very spacious room (king size bed with microwave & a ref.), good price overall.
