Hotel Ranola

I was treated like family start to finish. First I was upgraded to the King Suite which included a living room, bedroom, hallway, bathroom, and kitchen. CJ checked me in early so I wouldn't miss the baseball game that brought me to Sarasota in the first place. She personally showed me the way to the Fast and Fresh I wanted to eat at. The next day it was raining and I was allowed to barrow an umbrella and given a map of the bay area. They were very interested where I was from and stunned about my knowledge of the Civil War (I live 31 miles west of Gettysburg) The day after that I expressed concerned of the rising costs of the taxis I was using. Terri called the taxi company and was told my destination would cost $70 each way for a grand total of $140. She contacted Enterprise and helped me rent a car for $110 and charged it to her card (I'll be billed later) I was allowed to use the car to go to Tampa airport after checkout my final day instead of using Greyhound and taxis. Because of the kindness I received I almost cried when I checked out because I felt like I was leaving a second home.

People that own the place are incredibly friendly and nice and are willing to adjust to a change u may need to make on the fly. Def a family oriented establishment that treats people well and fairly. Really nice unique place it’s like staying in an old historic apartment building.

Hotel was awesome and staff were very friendly. We got a free upgrade to the royal king suite which had a full kitchen, living room, and a separate dressing room adjacent to bedroom and bathroom. Loved the Art Deco style. A very enjoyable stay.

Great location so we walked down Main street to restaurants. Parking was easy. No extra fees. A little street noise was only downside. Fun and different vibe to the room. We enjoyed it and would stay there again.
