Top Sarasota Hotel Reviews

Carlisle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Very clean and well-maintained. Our room was spacious and well appointed. Management and employees were friendly and engaging. The pool area was nice and could accommodate several different families at the same time. The breakfast was slightly underwhelming. If you are expecting a Der Dutchman style breakfast prepare to be disappointed. The breakfast had a few Amish-style baked goods (doughnuts, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls) but other than that I would compare it to a Holiday Inn Express or Fairfield Inn. They served biscuits both days we were there but no gravy which was a real disappointment. I tasted the eggs one morning and they were very good, not dry and rubbery like some hotels."
