The Annual Destination for our Team
I've been taking my team to Venice five different times. The first three years we stayed at the Days Inn on Tamiani which offered us an exceptionally cheap rate - $55/night.
The the past two years, however (and all future years), we stay at the Hampton Inn. We return each year because of the exceptional service that Pat, Carol, and their entire staff afford us. The suites are great for long-term stays, the breakfast is ideal for sports teams, the amenities, though not extravagant, are ample and adequate.
If there is one thing that could be bettered it would be the location - its not right off the interstate, nor is it right in downtown Sarasota or Venice, but its location does afford pretty easy access to anywhere you would want to go in either city.
Be sure to check out Captain Eddie's restaurant just 400 yards north in Nokomis.
