Ramada by Wyndham Sarasota Waterfront
The hotel is ok, but one thing was extremely annoying and bothered, there was so many tiny flies in the bathroom non stop! It was really hard to wash your face, brush teeth with all that insects flying around your face all the time. Breakfast was ok. It’s just people staying there were kinda annoying ...
