What guests think

Reviews of Quality Inn Sarasota North Near Lido Key Beach describe a budget stay with mixed experiences, highlighting basic rooms and a convenient base for the area but frequent concerns about upkeep, staffing model, and overall value for money.

Many guests report an automated kiosk check-in with limited on-site staff, slow assistance, and confusion over deposits or extra fees. Cleanliness and maintenance feedback is inconsistent, with repeated mentions of roaches or bed bugs, musty odors, worn furnishings, and exterior areas needing attention, but some travelers found their rooms clean and beds comfortable. Breakfast is a simple continental setup that several enjoyed, though many missed protein items, and the pool and public areas range from tidy to poorly maintained. Expect a no-frills, variable stay best for short, price-driven visits.

I have stayed here at least four times in the last six months. It is great for the price. It is always clean and the bed is decent. I will stay here again my spouse enjoys the pool. The restaurant next door is very good.

My family needed a place to stay for a few nights. I booked for them from out of town. They were horribly bitten by bed bugs. So severe that she may be heading to the er. Due to swelling. Room was changed after i called with no other bites but 2-3 nights bitten up. Never again.

BED BUGS. I left the hotel covered in bed bugs. I've never had them before so I didn't realize, thought it was mosquitos or something. But when they didn't go away I got it confirmed it was BED BUGS. Requested refund- denied. Contacted Expedia- denied.

The inn is in a great location but very poor rundown property. Beds were comfortable but Furniture in room was very old, needs severe upgrades and poor lighting. Check-in was virtual thru a kiosk with an agent not in this country,. Only stood for one night. Ok for a pit stop but they have potential for a better stay!

It seems overpriced for its age and location. I hope the money is going to the staff, who deserve to be paid, of course. But the furniture in my king room wasn’t just outdated, but cosmetically damaged. Chairs that would probably go out to the curb. Bed was comfortable and plumbing worked so can’t write it off completely.

Property has some updates, however, overall construction needs repair. The ac unit was extremely noisy and the landline did not work. There was nobody on property upon check-in. The free breakfast only had yogurt as the protein, no eggs, bacon, sausage. The front desk person at checkout was very nice and accommodating when I requested a receipt to show credit for room deposit.

It was a some what of a comfortable stay. A lot of banging, yelling and noise. The nightstands and tv stand was sticky. Couldn’t get the flyer off the tv stand to read it. The bathroom toilet gurgling at random times at night was weird. The staff was respectful and helpful though. And when you turn on the shower there was a burning smell.

The price is the best quality. It is a very dated property that has been "refreshed". It was clean, linens were clean, bed was comfortable and it was quiet. Has room for improvement but considering the prices of the area, this one fit the bill.

This hotel looked nice online. Once there, we checked in via a video monitor. The clerk did not speak clearly due to an accent and explained the process poorly. She gave us no information on parking or how to access our room. The property needed cleaned & was in disrepair. The curtain Rod in our room was bent. The doors to the office and our room were very dirty.

No human to talk to, just a weird kiosk with a person on the screen. Run down in a run down area. Hotel didn't give me back my $100 incidental fee. Also charged me $35 to check in 1 hour early (stayed at another local hotel near the area who let me check in 5 hrs early at no charge). There are way better places to stay around this area for about the same price.

First of all I get to the “hotel” and there isn’t anyone at the front desk to greet customers and help with check in. Instead there is an machine doing the check in. I was placed in a room that the lights didn’t function in. When I called the front desk they asked me to come down to change my room. As I came back down to the machine I asked the gentlemen to place me on the first floor as I was traveling alone and placing my in room 223 at the end, all alone didn’t seem safe. He denied my request and said that because I booked online he cannot do that change. I told him that room 108 was available and it was a single bed room. He still denied it and said the room was going to be occupied. He placed me in room 223 - the phone did not work. I go down to the pool to enjoy the pool and the pool was extremely dirty. There was garbage and large bugs floating all over the pool and the floor was cover in a black sud. The following days it was cleaned and much better but that first day was not. The breakfast was descent, nothing big just bread, butter, coffee, juice, waffle, yogurt and cereal- that’s it. They didn’t even offer water for breakfast. The only positive thing I saw was the lady who attended the breakfast my first two mornings was amazing and sweet. Also liked that in the bathroom they place a towel-mat to use as a bathroom rug when you step out ! The vending machines are old, don’t turn on and didn’t have a lot of variety. Will not stay again and don’t recommend.

This is the first automated check in and it was very dissatisfying. There was no human being to get a blanket or pillow etc. The machine required a $100.00 deposit which was to be credited back to me. At checkout Wednesday (4 days ago) and has not been credited to my account yet. Not happy.

No one physically there to check-in and out. I've seen this before but not many places. Usually overnight near I-75. Why do a online check in and payment just to arrive and then be surprised with new hidden fees and no tap to pay option, or if cash $250. They charged my card and gave me a hard time although it was in the right cancellation policy timeline to do so. Charged for one night out of two. Will never go there again because of rhe hassle. Talking to someone on a screen in a local place with very LIMITED options. Felt just like the scam it was.

Had a difficult check in, no person available, had to deal with a television screen. He was very vague on what we needed to get my keys to the room. Had me call Expedia instead of him helping me. Expedia tried to talk to property but was unable to get anyone on the phone because there is no one there. Took an hour to receive my keys and he requested a credit card for $100 deposit or $250 cash. I gave credit card and they charged $318.18. I will dispute this charge if they do not remove. TERRIBLE experience with this hotel and not sure it may be part of Expedia's fault too.

Not work the $250.00 a night place needs to be cleaned up outside What about the deposit and for what like you were going to steal anything from there not worth it. If I had known there was not a human to check you in or out would not have stayed. Girl was working breakfast and watching front desk to instruct people how to chek out. Didn't stay for breakfast

No live person onsite. Multiple people waiting to check in with reservations. Told at 6pm via Nick to wait in car unpacking lot until 11pm when they hoped to have someone out to site to resolve problem. This was done via screen set up in lobby by Nick who was at remote location. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!

The hotel is old. Needs a little paint on doors. But everything was clean. Breakfast was continental which means waffle and bread which were very good. Missed the eggs and meat but we knew what to expect. Good for our two day stay. Close to beach and other places. The parking was good. I would have liked to check in with an actual person at the desk and not through a computer. I feel it took longer this way even though the staff was good. I really had no major complaint. It was good for our stay

This property is not near Lido Key Beach. Very misleading. The paint is coming off the building and the curtains are stained with holes in them. Not to mention the unclean toilet. Also, when I booked this there was no information indicating the $100 deposit on a debit card or $250 cash(?!?)

I enjoyed the stay at Quality Inn. Convenient location to lido beach and short drive to great restaurants and activities. Its definitely an older building and ahowing signs of wear but the rooms have been updated with comfortable beds and modern Conveniences. The breakfast was very poor in my opinion and i skipped it after my first morning. Just not enough there to bother with it. That was disappointing. I liked the electronic checkin with no concierge on site but im sure others would not. Didnt use the pool but there is a nice one. Wish there had been a gym tho 😕
