EVEN Hotel Sarasota-Lakewood Ranch

Amazing room with workout equipment in the room! Very zen!

wonderful awesome hotel

I travel a lot for business. I paid top dollar for a 4 night stay. Hotel is mostly for athletes and has exercise equip in room (which was OK). They do not advertise as such. Very noisy can hear everything through walls, ceilings, etc. TV shuts off for no reason during programs. Partiers outside very loud until 12:40 PM one evening, called front desk, and it just went on and on. Coffee pot (or outlet) working intermittently, asked to resolve this for 3 nights and no results, no coffee. Room is kind of worn out but clean. Mirror edge broken off. Room cleaned by maid on 2nd night and no towels left for me. Wi Fi is antiquated. They give you password but when you choose their IP Address it just connects with poor service, does not take you to page to sign in and use password. Just overall not a great stay & too much money per night to stay there. I originally thought it was a Holiday Inn, but it is not...Even Hotels bought it. Drawers for clothing only in desk, no bureau. Room dark lighting. No drapes so be prepared to get up when the sun rises. Not a good fit for business travel.

Checked in and the air conditioner in the room was making a very loud rattling noise. They did accommodate me with a new room, but the AC in the new room was still fairly loud (although not nearly as bad as the first room).

The rooms were poorly lit - no mirrors except in bathroom - strange “mood” lighting in each room - poor water pressure for shower
