I had a great experience at El Tropicale, a unique extended stay hotel in Sarasota City. The location is absolutely primo, within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. The apartment I stayed in was beautifully decorated and equipped with high-end finishes. The courtyard area is lovely, with a built-in grill, patio tables, and a hammock.One minor issue I had was with the size of the apartment kitchen, which was a bit small if you plan to cook a lot. However, this was a minor drawback compared to the many positives of my stay.The service was excellent, with a friendly and attentive property manager and owner who were always available to help with any questions or issues. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, with a thorough cleaning after each guest.The free parking and use of brand new washing machines were a nice bonus. The location's quietness and great value made it a great place to stay. Overall, I would highly recommend El Tropicale for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Sarasota City.
