Carlisle Inn

Carlisle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The price was comparable chain hotels and even cheaper than others. It’s only about 15 minutes from Lido Beach and St. Armand’s Circle which makes the location ideal if you’re going to the beach. The staff was so helpful. They saw us headed to the beach and asked if we wanted to borrow beach chairs. Not only did they give us chairs, they gave us an umbrella. We didn’t bring any to save room in our car so this was a real blessing. They also have free cookies in the lobby which are fresh every day and are a delicious treat. The room and grounds are very clean and well maintained. The free breakfast has a great variety and saves you from having to buy another meal while you’re visiting. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back."

"Great hotel in a walkable location. Awesome view from rooftop bar and pool. Good drinks and menu. Spacious rooms with ample outlets and comfy beds. Mini fridge and closet were useful. Gym looked great but didn't use. Wonderful service-especially when my dad needed a bandaid lol. Helpful to know that parking is valet only. Would stay here again."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Sarasota

Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Sarasota is from September to November, when hotel prices may drop.

During your visit, you can enjoy the stunning beaches, beautiful gardens, vibrant art scene, and various museums. Additionally, Sarasota offers great opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife observation, making it a perfect destination for those seeking an affordable getaway filled with historical and cultural experiences.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for hotels in Sarasota, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. If prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be among the first to know, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you secure a better rate for your stay in a Sarasota hotel. If you're in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and can sometimes offer greater value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your selected dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, increasing the likelihood of saving on your booking.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Sarasota's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
