Days Inn by Wyndham Sarasota I-75

I'm a Gideon (you know, the ones who put Bibles in hotel rooms), and having seen the good, bad, and ugly side of hotels in my own city, this hotel is a great choice for those looking for a place to stay on a budget. The room was clean, everything was in working order, there were no bugs, and the staff were friendly. The location is very convenient and seems quite safe, numerous stores and restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel, including but not limited to 7/11, Circle K, Publix, Walmart Neighborhood Market, Beall's, Office Max, Burger King, Waffle House, Applebee's, a mom and pop restaurant called Geckos which is really good, a mom & pop pharmacy, a Chinese restaurant, an Italian restaurant, and some kind of a medical center. The bed was quite comfortable, and the sheets were in good repair. Breakfast includes self serve waffles, cereal, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and juice. The internet connection is sufficient to stream HD video and work on online college courses (I'm a college student with a full time job; this trip was work related but I still had to work on my courses). I don't know what the authors of the poor reviews expect from a lower priced hotel considering I've personally seen similarly priced motels in my own city in Florida that had cigarette butts and other garbage in the drawers (where Gideons put the Bibles) because apparently housekeeping never opens them, and this place was pristine compared to those places.

Issues were taken care of.

The clean bright airy room, always having hot water and comfortable bed. The coffee was very good. Breakfast choices were good. Maybe add a choice of breakfast sandwiches'. Add ashtrays to outdoor smoking area. People were throwing cigarettes butts every where.

I liked the speedy check-in and check-out. The hotel was quiet.

Clean and comfy beds and linens. I think they hotel is in a remodeling/decorating transition but the furniture and draperies were well worn.
