First of all, in my opinion, this is a very nice hotel. It is very close to the beaches, Sharky's/Venice Pier, and easy access from the main highway. I don't understand some of the reviews posted here. Everyone that works at this location has always been very professional, and caring. As we leave and enter the building, we have always... more

My husband, newborn, and myself were staying in Sarasota and decided to travel down to Venice. BAD IDEA at first. We stopped off the highway and stayed here for one night. First off, we paid way too much for the service or lack there of I should say. The outside looks fairly new, so I wasn't too worried until we... more

Don't hesitate to stay here....clean & conveniently located to explore the area. Close to downtown, beaches, and highway. more

This is not a large hotel, but the location is good, close to the highway, Venice downtown and beaches. They have a good complimentary breakfast starting at 6:30, consisting of eggs, sausage, bagels, toast, yogurt, fruit, cinnamon rolls, make you own waffles, cereal, really all you need and quick and convenient. Our room was clean as was the hotel lobby... more

Fantastic experience. Courteous and helpful staff. Room was exceptionally clean and available at check-in time. Very quiet. Excellent breakfast. Facility appears to be well maintained. Great location to Venice and other beach areas. We will definitely stay there on our next visit. more

They took the time to make sure we were satisfied, and we were very impressed with how our situation was... more

Check in lady was over officious with checking your ID and demanding a credit card along with spouting and list of hotel rules and asked me sign a contract stating I would pay them $100 if I was to dare to breach any of there regulations. - Nice Welcome! NOT - But she... more

This is a nice and easy going Hotel. The staff are polite and friendly. The rooms are clean and are of good size. Breakfast is good but not a great choice, dining area is a bit small. I found the the room rates a little expensive, as i could get a 4 star hotel in Orlando or Tampa for the... more

This Best Western requires two forms of ID at check in plus your car license plate. Don't know if they think you are going to run or what. The rates are really flexible. I paid $139 for a king room but overheard the desk clerk quote $119 to someone over the phone. Location is a little noisy but handy to... more
