Our room was clean and quiet, bed was comfortable. You can tell this is an older hotel but they are in the process of renovations. We didnt use the pool but it looked nice. We did have a drink at the tiki bar one night and it was lively and the bartender was very friendly. No complaints really. It worked out well for us while in town visiting family.

We were very impressed with Lantern Inn and Suites for the price. Our room was a nice size, clean, had comfortable beds, and seemed recently renovated. The pool was kept clean as were the washers and dryers (I had just stayed in a hotel in a different town that had some that left stuff all over my clothes so it is the first thing I noticed here). I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Sarasota.

We just needed a room for one night. Property was well maintained. We didn’t get to enjoy the facilities because we got in super late . Room was clean and smelled nice . My only complaint is maybe get better curtains that block the light. I appreciated the VERY lit balcony/hallways and I understand it’s about safety but it lit up our room a bit and was a little hard to sleep with light in the room . Other than that we had a pleasant nice stay.

Room was nice and clean,but I was given room 120. It was in the back of the hotel where a lot of construction was going on and construction workers outside drinking and load. I’ve stayed there a few times this month,this was the first time this happened.
