Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Sarasota
For the most seamless experience, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) is the clear choice, being located within the city itself and offering immediate access via taxi or rideshare. While this is the only airport directly serving the city, travelers often consider nearby alternatives when looking for different flight availability or pricing. Orlando International Airport (MCO) serves the distant city of Orlando and is best for international connectivity, though it requires significant travel time. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), located in the nearby city of Fort Myers, provides a viable southern alternative. St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (PIE) serves the St. Pete–Clearwater area, while Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) acts as a regional hub for the Punta Gorda area. Travelers coming from these secondary airports should prioritize rental cars for the best balance of cost and flexibility, as public transit options between these neighboring cities and Sarasota are limited.

this place is run down and dirty. The building and rooms need remodeling badly. It's too bad because the grounds are very pretty but the rooms are dark and gloomy. Great100 Reviews

We booked to stay on our wedding night but were slightly underwhelmed this wasn’t even acknowledged. The hotel was clean on the whole with a quick check-in. The rooms were a decent size. Thankfully we brought toiletries with us as the bathroom amenities were empty. FromUS$139

Sarasota is expensive, this is a typical motel, the price is a three-star hotel, and you have to carry your own luggage on the second floor. The new decoration is relatively clean, the split air conditioner is changed, and the vibration sound is quite loud when installed on the wooden wall.FromUS$72

In the name of art, you can charge more. There is nothing special about it. It is very close to the beach, and there are many restaurants around, which is more convenient. Hygiene, bedding and facilities are the normal level of general hotels.FromUS$169

For the money this was a great stay. The Front Desk Service was awesome, the room was clean. The pool was great and not busy at all. The maintenance guy was always working to keep everything nice.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Have recommended to others.
A HUGE little improvement would be to get some command strip hangers for towels, or just install hooks.
We also did wonder why the shuttle guys would not pick up right at the resort, that is not the hotels fault, but we did get pretty wet in the rain waiting on the corner.FromUS$65

Siesta Key Sarasota|9.79km from city center
To say we loved our vacation here is an understatement. The hotel lobby representatives were so friendly, warm, and knowledgeable. I had to call before arriving and I’ve never received such a warm welcome. I’m sorry I can’t remember their names because they know how to treat customers well! We loved our room—clean & the perfect size. AC worked well, bed was comfy, and clean. The pictures are from when we were departing. I wish I had taken before pictures. The walk to beach is very short and convenient. The restaurants nearby were excellent! The beach is so unbelievably pretty. The new pool (they have 2) was so gorgeous and was created by a famous pool architect/designer. The young man attending to the pool was friendly and helpful. We will be back because I have found my dream vacation place!FromUS$135

The room is still good overall, Owl 🦉 hotel theme, clean, the front desk staff is warm and patient, breakfast is special, tastes good. The hotel also provides shuttle van, within five kilometers of the surrounding area to set a time in advance. The grandfather who drove, very gentle.
The only downside of the hotel is the air conditioner. The air conditioner of Sarasota Hotel belongs to the ground machine. The wind blows up. Maybe the equipment is old. Every time the work is refrigerated, it seems that the construction site suddenly opened the machine. The noise is a bit loud. The first day starts several times and wakes up several times. I don't know if I am not tired the next day, but I heard it once in one night. I hope to update the air conditioning equipment, it will be better.FromUS$139

Located in the Lido Bay of Sarasota, the hotel is close to the island's shopping and leisure area and has a beautiful environment. It is about 10 minutes drive from downtown. The hotel has a private beach, because there is red algae pollution during this time, there is no sea. Before the stay, the hotel will remind you to confirm whether you want to stay. The room has a large fridge and simple kitchenware, a microwave and a dishwasher, perfect for cooking.FromUS$329
