Great location and price

The room was small but perfect for what we needed. The location is amazing especially if you want to see a lot of places. It was easy to get to Lido Beach, Siesta Keys and Tampa. Staff were willing to do anything we needed and the Tiki Hut bar and pool area are really nice. Very affordable and super easy to come in and out whenever we needed.

Nice hotel

Nice clean room and comfortable bed and pillows. Convenient location for our 1day trip. Would stay again.
Vadim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall good, rooms were well furnished and styled very fun. Only downsides were the room was a bit dirty, and for some reason our room was very humid inside even with the ac on high. During our stay the weather was not humid or overly warm, but for some reason our room was very humid compared to outside.

Satisfied. Thank you
Oleg, 3-night trip

Nice old Florida charm

Didn't want to stay in the cookie cutter hotels so found this gem. Comfortable, clean, nice heated pool with lots of poolside seating. Very close to downtown and other attractions. Cute microwave and refrigerator with FREEZER! Quiet yet on a main road.
Debra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The reviews were correct! Cool place!

I was surprised at how nice this place is. The previous reviews convinced me to stay, and I was intrigued by the retro-vibe in the photos. Check in was easy, the room was large, the bed was comfy, and the blackout drapes helped silence the noise from US41 and the airport. Might have to consider staying there again if I'm ever in Sarasota.

Great Experience at Golden Host Resort, Real Gem!

We stayed at the Golden Host Resort because my wife was having a double mastectomy at the nearby hospital. We really loved the apperance of the resort, very clean. My wife came back after an overnight stay in the hospital, she was tired and in a lit of pain and she commented on how comfortable the bed was and how quiet the room was. The staff were so helpful and friendly. It is such a nice little hotel with a very clean pool. The morning we were getting to check out we saw a duck in the pool just swimming around, duck approved resort. Thank you to the staff
