"This was my second stay at the Carlisle Hotel in Sarasota, and I enjoyed it once again. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the complimentary bottled water and being placed on the floor I requested. The staff was very friendly, and the hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas.
The pool area was nice, though the spa was closed on one day and the weather was chilly. Breakfast was acceptable but repetitive, with the same options offered each morning. The hotel is ideal for a clean and comfortable stay, though it offers limited on-site entertainment, as there is no restaurant or music."
