Aloft Sarasota

"Amazing location. Alexis was so hospitable and provided a pleasant experience for my partner and I (even though I lost my partner in Whole Foods...). Almost all staff was over the top friendly. The older blonde female bartender at the pool may have a little room for improvement in hospitality and communication. Otherwise, everyone else was fantastic. Gym and pool were fantastic as well."

"I had a great stay at Aloft Sarasota and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The hotel is modern, clean, and comfortable, with a bright, upbeat atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in. The rooms are well‑designed, the lobby feels fresh and welcoming, and the overall vibe is relaxed but stylish — perfect for a Florida getaway. The location is one of the best parts. Aloft Sarasota is close to all the key spots: Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, Bayfront Park, Siesta Key, and the downtown restaurants and cafés. It made exploring Sarasota incredibly easy, and everything I wanted to see was just a short drive away. But what truly made my stay memorable was the service, especially from Nick at the valet. He was the friendliest and warmest person I encountered during my time there. Every time I arrived or left, he addressed me by name, greeted me with genuine kindness, and made me feel completely welcome. That level of personal attention is rare and really stood out. Nick’s professionalism, warmth, and positive energy elevated my entire experience, and he deserves special recognition for the way he goes above and beyond for guests."

"Amazing value and location. Great rooftop pool with bar and amazing service. Special shoutout to Liv at the WXYZ bar who is one of the very best bartenders I’ve ever encountered. Well worth a trip just to have one of her craft cocktails (and life wisdom)."
