Ramada by Wyndham Sarasota Waterfront

When we arrived we realised that we had been ever so slightly fooled by the pictures on the web - the Hotel is situated right by Highway 41. But, on the other hand, you don't think about that once you go around to the other side and see the quaint harbor and Tiki-bar/restaurant there. But, to be clear, we were at first worried that the noise from the traffic would make it hard for us to sleep and - if you're sensitive to noise make sure you get a room that faces the harbor - but all in all we were pleasantly surprised by the absence of traffic although mostly because the AC-unit was quite loud and at times rattly. We slept well though, and the beds were wide and of a comfortable softness. The room itself was large enough, so was the bathroom. The settings, with the pool by the harbor and the almost integrated Tiki bar were very nice and the food at the restaturant was great! Breakfast was satisfying, by our swedish standards, with adequate options. Health center consisted of a treadmill, a stationary bike, a bench and a weighted multi-machine, quite enough to suit my needs and the temperature in the room was adequately cool. Pool was big and a pleasant temperature, lots of sunbeds and free clean towels. If we're ever on the road and passing through we would stay here again.

Great location on the waterfront - we could see manatees and watch the boats being lifted into the water. Central location close to attractions, Lido and Siesta Key beaches, Ringling compound and good restaurants. Nice hot breakfast every morning. Seats and picnic tables near the rooms are perfect to sit outside and enjoy the warm weather.

Breakfast was excellent. Workers were very friendly and helpful. Room on water front worked well. Street would have been too noisy. Commenting on the room, I would recommend removing the tub and replace walk-in shower. And, replace the seal around the door for better sound proofing. The view of the water and boats was excellent. And, having the very good restaurant and staff with entertainment all within a few steps was excellent.

hotel is beautiful, very clean and beds are very comfortable. All of the staff at the hotel and on the front desk (the Manager and Assistant Manager) were all very accommodating and definitely provided high standards of professionalism - Carmen, Lynn, Shaina and Randy in maintenance were all very helpful and friendly. I had an issue with the hot water in my room and they couldn’t have done more to have it fixed swiftly and I was offered an upgrade. The only negative was the staff at the Tilkki bar, mostly rude and one girl actually ate the head of me when I asked for a loan of a bottle opener for 5 minutes. Some re training needs to be done with the Tikki bar staff as they all come across fairly unfriendly and in bad form!! I will return to the hotel! The breakfast was the same every morning - need to change it up a bit and more fruits.

Being they were in the middle of clean up from the two hurricanes, we enjoyed almost everything about our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful, Location was superb, being right on the marina. The Tiki house was friendly and delicious, highly recommend the Shrimp and Grits.
