Independent, Placida hotels

"Everything was great from check-in to check out! Love the fact that you just had to walk across the street to be at the beach. Room was comfortable and staff was friendly."

"I was looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay on my road trip to Miami. This Holiday Inn was right off the freeway and easy to check in. It was a great place to get a good nights sleep and even a quick workout in the gym in the morning. Definitely recommend!"

"Great place "

"Good staff and very clean and maintained. "

"It's a very lovely resort and wish my family had spent more time there. It's a great place to see the sunrise from. I would highly recommend doing the valet parking. Love the amenities - surprised thing closed early, especially since it's July. Beautiful rooms and spacious. If you're elderly or have any physical disability, it might be a difficult hotel. It's definitely a very spread out campus and requires a lot of walking, even with placement of elevators within individual buildings. .. and I'm not sure how convenient wheelchair ramps would be located. "

"1 min check-in!"

"Nice and relaxing. Breakfast was great, staff very friendly, and relatively quiet considering thr highway sits in the back. We came with my mother in law, whose disabled, and her wheelchair was accessible in the room for the most part. "

"Very nice rooms. Restaurant - food was great! Service was great. Very nice staff. "

"Great find right on a private, local beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger tourist areas. More than fair price point for the ability to walk right onto the beach, and the interior of the units have been updated nicely. Comfortable bed in the bedroom. Pullout sofa was a bit of a challenge, but no overcome-able. Staff very helpful and friendly. Awesome for sunsets off the Gulf, and a good local eats right there. Loved the town of Venice nearby. Gets REALLY dark in the area, though - seemed like our hotel lights were the only ones on! Overall a great choice for a nice, laid back atmosphere - definitely recommend!"
