Kompose Boutique Hotel
My room flooded from the shower and the a/c didn’t get cold. Heard that this was a great hotel but from my experience I can’t say the same.

Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
The cutest little motel I’ve ever stayed at! The property was clean and very well kept. Salt water pool and beautiful lounging area. Very close to the airport,but not so much you could hear it all day. The bar was awesome with live music on the weekends. Well appointed rooms with brand new fridge ...
