This hotel is actually really nice for the price! Its accross from a marina so if you have a boat there its really accessible by just walking accross the street. Lots of restaurants nearby by foot car or boat!

I’ve stayed here multiple times when visiting my daughter at Ringling College. Very convenient and comfortable beds, plus a cool tiki bar on site!

Kompose Boutique Hotel
Very modern place. If you like that kind of thing, breakfast was great wasn't always people at the desk, but they were for the most part pretty friendly.

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound
The property was in an excellent location. It was clean and had a nice, large pool. Breakfast was definitely beyond the normal continental breakfast provided by typical hotels. We’d definitely stay here again.
