My daughter was attending a Pre-College Program at Ringling College of Art and Design. Knowing the Carlson Brand I wanted to stay at the Country Inn and Suites. I had never been to Sarasota, Florida and was excited for her attending the College but also to truly get to know the area as she most likely will attend as a... more

The property is maintained to a good standard and our room was very clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful and courteous. Breakfast comprised the usual items including DIY waffles but also included the added bonus of scrambled egg, bacon and sausage, so quite comprehensive. The hotel is well located close to the I75 on Clark Rd and about a 15... more

Hotel is confusing to get into from the main road. Place looks good but when we opened the door to our room there was a smell we could not identify. After being in the room awhile you adjust and kind of forget it until you leave the room and return again. I think the smell may have been floral, maybe... more

Have stayed here a couple of times over the summer, and while usually I have great experiences at these hotels, this one wasn't as good. Both times I stayed the musty mildew odor was VERY prominent. It almost knocks you down and makes you sick when you walk in the room. Also the carpet is dirty and will get your... more

The Country Inn and Suites in Sarasota, FL is a great place to stay. The rooms were comfortable with two beds, a mini fridge, and microwave. It either is a new hotel or was recently remodeled. The barthrooms are large and well equipped. The free breakfast is also well done. It features a waffle making station, yogurt, cereal, eggs, bacon,... more

We did not have a musty odor in our room, but a slight urine smell when we first entered. It seemed to be less noticeable after we turned the A/C colder. I am thinking maybe the smells overall may be from the fact that they allow pets. They probably have to do a lot of cleaning up after them. We... more

Just have to say I cincur with the previous poster exactly. The smell from within the room was awful, damp and musty. I presumed it was the air conditioner unit, which incidentally didn't work brilliantly well!! However, that aside we had a brilliant 2 night stay. We booked directly with the hotel and they knocked $10 off the price I... more

We stayed there August 15-18 on the 4th floor. The musty odor was quite noticeable in the hallway and our room seemed very humid . The next morning at the other end of the hall we noticed fans were placed in the hallway and men appeared to be doing something inside of the rooms that looked like carpet cleaning equipment.... more

After reading the posts here I felt confident that I made the right decision for my family to stay here. Don't get me wrong, the hotel itself is very well taken care of, the pool, the lobby, the exercise room, laundry, etc. The only problem I had was the musty moldy smell in our room. It is such a smack... more

After being totally disgusted with Adam's attitude at Hibiscus Suites, I looked around for a good hotel and came across Country Inn and Suites and WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT... My husband, 15 month old and I stayed there for 3 nights, 4 days and had no complaints whatsover. They have a great complimentary breakfast every morning, waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage,... more
