I only stayed overnight on my way to visit relatives in central FL. Having stayed in several chain hotels for both business and pleasure, the was one of the best to date. The room was large and well appointed. Bathroom was huge and stocked with toiletries from the Body Shop. The free wifi worked easily and well, and the front... more

This is one of the nices Holiday Inns I have ever stayed at. The room was big, clean and well stocked. The walk in shower is great, the bathrooms are nice. the internet works well and the room was clean. The restaurant - The Alamo - provided good room service but it was a bit strange. I ordered room service... more

I had the pleasure of being in town for business in February. I was referred by the client that I was in town to see. I was really looking for a property near to them, but wanted a Ritz Carlton. I have to thank the persistant assistant at my client for singing the Holiday Inn Lakewood Ranch praise's. This was... more

The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly, but disadvantage number one of this hotel in our opinion is the total absence of decent breakfast facilities.

We stayed here a couple years ago when the hotel was brand new and loved everything about the place. Last week we stayed for three nights from that past experience.

Many stores and restaurants close-by and convenient drive to downtown Sarasota. Only thing I would change is a different way to get to the fitness area and pool or a restroom near... more

April 2006.....Beautiful Hotel, rooms well kept and very clean. Restaurant's breakfast was worth the price,but I do believe the room was OVER PRICED....Since it was a Holiday Inn rather than a Holiday Inn Express breakfast was not included. I prefer Holiday Inn Expresses at a better rate and includes breakfast. My main PROBLEM with this hotel wasn't the hotel,but the... more

we stayed here in the beginning of the year and It was perfect....clean and everyone was nice....only one small thing....at first they were going to put us on a "smoking floor" because of a error on their part but they fixed the problem right away.....we'll be back again more

We stayed three nights at the Lakewood Ranch in Sarsasota and were very pleased. This is a very unique Holiday Inn.....very nice furnishings throughout and immaculate. I had to call several times to change my reservations and the people I talked to were always very helpful and friendly. We stayed in one of the suites which was very roomy and... more
