Hotels near Ringling College of Art and Design

"Clean room and quiet "

"Yes"

"Close to TheRingling nice grounds"

"Sometimes"

"The room was not clean. There was dirt along the baseboards and in the corners. There was also dust hanging from the ceiling in the corner of the room. The furniture was old. The drapes were coming off the hooks, and the sheer curtain had gray paint all over it. The bedspread was old and faded. The towels were thin, and stained. I will definitely not stay there again, nor will I recommend it to others."

"The hotel is a happening place with both lobby and poolside entertainment. It's located downtown near all the best restaraunts. The valet parking is also convenient. My only "complaint", which the hotel is aware of, is that the bed headrests are showing serious wear and tear, so much so that there is a sign on them saying, while clean, they know they should be replaced. Hopefully, that sign won't be there a year from now."

"The complimentary breakfast was nice, but it was exactly the same every day. For example, to vary the breakfast sausage with bacon would be appreciated. For those of us staying several days, we need variety. Also there was no wastebasket in the bedroom. There was one in the bathroom, but the main room should have had one too. There was a recycling basket in the main part, yes, but no waste basket where we needed one most. Other than these complaints, the La Quinta Inn was conveniently located and felt safe and quiet. Rooms on the highway side may be prone to traffic noise, however. We were on the quiet side of the building and it was peaceful."

"Sliding bathroom door broken. Hotel could be cleaner. Beds reasonably comfortable. Affordable for the area."

"The hotel is in a great area… and I could tell that it had once been lovely… but it’s showing signs of age: stains, cracks, and water that just doesn’t get hot enough. The room configuration was awkward with not nearly enough storage space. And, while the bed was comfortable, the pillows were lifeless, flat, and floppy…and the comforter much (!!!) too heavy. It was more like a weighted blanket than something for sleeping. I could barely pull it up or down (and I work out 4 days a week… I’m no weakling). The gym was good. The staff was helpful. Sadly though, I’ll check out someplace else next time I’m in Sarasota."
