Hotels near Jefferson Center, Sarasota

A room with a lovely view. Quite a walking distance to restaurants and everything but average hotel restaurant for late dinner. Very spacious room and toilet or breakfast. They have to send serviceman twice to fix the heat/room control. Sliding door to balcony was heavy to open and close. The deal was average I would say.

Martha Gomez at the front desk was AMAZING!! She helped me out with internet issues that I was having. Her attitude and personality was very nice. The stay was great, I came for a business trip and stayed 5 days, it was after Hurricane Helene so the pool was closed. The food was great at the restaurant. Overall would recommend if you’re stopping by Sarasota.

We had a great stay here. Some of the reviews made me second guess our upcoming stay, but I am glad we moved forward. The hotel is great, the staff is even better. Is this the newest Ritz out there? No. However, it's the nicest spot in Sarasota. The dining is great and the beach club is the perfect day to spend the day. We were there off season in August, some of the schools had just started. On a few days there were only a handful of guests at the beach club pool area. It was great! We used our rental car to get to the beach club so we wouldn't need to wait for the shuttle. It's a short drive. Such a really nice relaxing stay! I will say, the new St. Regis will give this Ritz a run once it opens this fall. It looks amazing, so they will need to step up their game.

We booked to stay on our wedding night but were slightly underwhelmed this wasn’t even acknowledged. The hotel was clean on the whole with a quick check-in. The rooms were a decent size. Thankfully we brought toiletries with us as the bathroom amenities were empty.

Amazing innovative hotel. From the moment you walk in your senses are filled with delight. From the gorgeous scent in the lobby to the visually beautiful art displayed everywhere, its a dream. The staff here was lovely from the front desk to the pool bar staff to the restaurant downstairs... impeccable! We had an amazing driver named Jim that shuttled us wherever we wanted to go and had really good suggestions and knowledge of the area. This hotel is a definite must when in town even if you're just popping in to see the art or have a drink.

Not a good start. Thought I would try a ”hip” place with a great location in Sarasota for a business trip. First, no acknowledgement of gold elite. Maybe that wasn't good enough. Second, I didn't know there was only cleaning every other day. Couldn't even be guaranteed cleaning upon request per the front desk team member but he said he will try. I think Motel 6 cleans your room each day if you ask. Then, there was no internet, at least not in the inside of the room on the seventh floor. It did connect for a few minutes in the bathroom which backs up against the hallway, but that's not where I wanted to have to spend my time just to be connected to what came up as an insecure internet connection. Again, the front desk team said that the service comes and goes. Isn't this what you want to hear for $300+ per night? The truth is it deserves no stars, but the gym looks great and I am hoping it gets better. If not, I will respectfully ask for a refund.

This hotel is ready for the wrecking ball. Serious problems with electrics. Several sockets in room216 not working. Coffee maker not working. Elevator not working( we were offered a room on the ground floor when checking in for a four day stay but assured the elevator would be fixed by the following day )I prefer a high floor so opted for second floor. Elevator was out of order for duration of my stay.Ice machine out of order on second floor. Pool advertised on Bonvoy app hotel description as heated.It isn't. It rained during my stay and the corridor on the GROUND floor flooded.Carpet was wet for duration of stay and ceiling tiles removed. A pervasive smell of dampness and mould in the room and a dehumidifier was provided indicating that this is an ongoing problem. We had a walk in shower rather than a bath which was great if it hadn't been filthy. We opted for our room to be cleaned.This wasn't done and we had to seek out cleaners to remove rubbish.No clean towels provided or replenishment of limited amenities. Go elsewhere.

I had a really awesome experience. The hotel is right next to the airport and 10 minutes from downtown Sarasota. It’s also right across the street from the tingling museum, which is beautiful. The rooms themselves are sleek and thoughtfully designed

I booked the hotel for one night, no breakfast included because I wanted to have breakfast with some friends at a restaurant nearby the next morning. The difference between breakfast included or not was 20 dollars. On my way there I realized they had added what I thought was the breakfast fee on my debit card to the total pending transaction. During check in they told me that Breakfast was Included and showed me the menu and times, so I didn't have any reason to doubt that the extra 20 dollars they had charged me was the breakfast fee. I didn't wanna make a big deal about it so I didn't say anything and just called my friends and we arranged to meet at dinner instead. Next morning when I was ready to have breakfast they told me that they made a mistake and breakfast was not included and when I told them about the extra charge on my debit card they explained to me that the extra 20 dollars was for incidental charges in case if I decided to use other amenities or services and not for breakfast. What a coincidence that the breakfast fee was the same amount as the incidental charges. They did remove the extra 20 dollars during check out but I ended up having a very mediocre super expensive breakfast there because it was already too late to call my friends and change plans again. Instead of 20 dollars I had to pay almost 50 for breakfast at a place that I didn't plan to have breakfast in the first place and they tricked me to do so.

We came in as a late check in and the night person Eric was amazing! Make sure to give him a pat on the back or an Amazon gift card lol he was awesome he definitely helped my family out with a smooth check in. Thank you Eric! Oh also everyone at this location was very nice. It was clean bed was comfy and breakfast was tasty and the pool was warm at night.
