The Resort at Longboat Key Club

The Resort at Longboat Key Club

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was great - location, amenities, service and cleanliness. Can’t wait to go back. The Rent A Car company -Priceless- was a disaster and ripoff. Located off-airport in a seedy area. Still waiting for reimbursement of $350 extra insurance they required. I’ve never had to provide a copy of the insurance before. Also lied about the need for an Ez pass @ $10.99/ day. Claimed we couldn’t pay at the toll booth. Not true. Took photos to prove. They are not returning my calls. Several travelers refused the extra payments and walked out. Wish we had. Expedia has not helped. Can’t get past AI BOTS. No more Expedia. "
