Close to all Sarasota attractions and restaurants. Very reasonably priced.Pool and surroundings a nice plus. Front staff very accommodating . Room facing pool was the right size and beds were very comfortable. Easy in and out parking. A gem from Florida past.
I have been in the customer service industry for over 20 years - the General Manager Chet Culmer exceeded our expectations! We live on the east side of Florida and visited Sarasota for the first time. The Goldenhost Resort is the perfect location! Since we are not familiar with the area, we asked Chet for recommendations for dinner and breakfast. Both places were excellent! We are so grateful for his expertise!
Nice hotel for family or cuples, the attention was amazing and friendly. Especially “Chef” front desk staff. Nice facilities and very clean rooms, nice colors and retro style. I am 100% sure that I will come soon. The pool area is very safe area for the kids, new chairs and bar. Thank you!
I stayed for one night and really enjoyed. Very laid back and nostalgic. Tiki hut was unique. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Quite, clean, safe and easy access to airport. Will definitely stay again.
Overall good experience. Wonderful check-in experience, nice room, nice grounds. We really enjoyed the retro, mid-century modern furniture and appliances. The only thing that reduced it to four stars was the off-putting “welcome” text. We booked the hotel via a third party and never would have even known about this place otherwise. The ad with the third-party specifically notes that one of the amenities of our booking was supposed to include a free drink each. However, after booking we received a “welcome” text essentially chastising us for booking via a third party and notifying us that since we didn’t book with them directly we would not be getting the free drinks that were part of what we paid for. The free drinks in and of themselves weren’t a big deal. However, the fact the drinks were advertised on the third party site, and then we were “welcomed” with that sort of text was off-putting. It just didn’t make a good first impression. Regardless, the place overall was nice, well-priced and comfortable. They just need to work on their “welcome” messages. - The PowerTrippers…
The lady who checked us in on Sunday 1/5 and worked Monday16 /Tuesday 1/17 was very accommodating. Unfortunately, I never got her name. The Tiki bar was packed and was a lot of fun. Our room was good except room 104 the bathroom door needs WD 40. In addition, the back of the entry door was warped and needed painting. Otherwise, the room was clean and suitable. They did forgot to come in on Monday to tidy up the room and give us new towels. We were able get new towels from the office. Overall a good experience. This was the first time we stayed at a non chain hotel/motel.
Chet was great and really helped us out. He was accommodating and helped resolve all of our issues. Chet showed empathy and compassion which we are grateful for. We would definitely stay here again!!!
Loved the simplicity of everything! Checkin and check out was very simple and having the tiki bar next door with drag bingo on sundays was a great time! Everything was newly renovated and kept clean. I have nothing negative to say. The location was convenient as well
The most terrifying experience of my life! We were walking back from the Tiki Bar and our neighbor was out front smoking weed and pulled a gun on my boyfriend and I. The “manager” Gabby could have carried less! We felt so unsafe we couldn’t spend the night. I was told I would be contacted by a manager and that was 4 days ago and no word. The worst experience of my life!
My boyfriend and I booked this hotel for a last minute new years getaway. The price was great and the reviews were great. It has that old Florida charm and the tiki bar on-site had live music and great people. Chet, the front desk person, was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our stay, and every time we saw him he was helping out a different area of the resort! He is the best hotel staff member I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with! We will be back!
