Testimonials
Please read some of the comments from our guests.
Just wanted to say thanks for providing a clean, comfortable and friendly atmosphere for our short stay in Sarasota. The shower was GREAT! All the staff were welcoming and helpful. The breakfast hostess was especially cheery...even at 5:30 AM! And what a nice choice of food. The garden patio is a nice option if you don't want to hear the TV. I hope these comments get back to the employees there who are really the ones who can make or break a lodging experience. thanks to all of you. I hope we can book a longer stay the next time. (nice to have refuge from family down there!)

Hi again Maria,
Just to reiterate I really enjoyed my stay at Hol Inn Exp. Pool was a great size for me and staff all
so friendly and truly helpful. I would not hesitate to come again, and I hope to soon, or to recommend
you to any of my friends/associates. Clean, convenient and reasonable, what more could a weary traveller
want!!!

Robert and Mark were simply fantastic. We had a huge family gathering in Sarasota and are pleased
we chose your hotel. The breakfast was a treat and the room staff was very nice as were the maintenance
folks. Thanks again to Mark and Robert and your entire staff ! Everyone went above and beyond!

Hello,
This triathlon on Siesta Key, 10/4/09, was my 5th this summer, and by far the best! I thought it was well organized and in a great location. The support was great, The Holiday Inn Express was fantastic. The post race party was by far the best.
Thanks for a great event! I'll do this one next year for sure.

Dear Maria,

Dear Ms. Bankemper:
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Holiday Inn Express. As a
result I wanted to compliment on the stay and the hotel. I was in the
hotel business, managing hotels in Washington, DC, for over 25 years,
and also taught Hotel/Restaurant Management at the local university.
It was a pleasure staying with you and your staff was great. I want to
especially mention Mark at the Front Desk, who put up with a variety
of questions from us and was always smiling, professional, pleasant, and
helpful. If I was still running a hotel, I would be “stealing” him from you.
I know from my own experiences, that you usually only get mail when things go wrong. So I thought this was a great time to write when things go right. You have a satisfied, happy guest, and please note that you have a great staff.
When we return, we will be staying with you.
Sincerely,
James S. - Roanoke, VA
“We'd like to say we enjoyed our stay once again at the Holiday Inn Express - Siesta Key and thank you to all the staff who were very helpful and friendly. We last stayed with you two years ago and we like the new look and we hope to visit again soon.”

“Hi Maria:
We just wanted to thank you and your husband Ed along with Chris, Bonnie, Jamie and all the other wonderful people we met while staying at your great hotel. 
Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. We had a problem with the television in our room. Everyone scrambled to resolve the problem and Jamie even stopped on his way home from work to buy a universal remote for the t.v. Although you may think this is standard procedure, believe me it is what makes your hotel a cut well above the rest.
Again, we thank you for your kindness and hospitality. Please tell everyone hello from us.”
Sincerely:
