Days Inn by Wyndham Bradenton - Near the Gulf
Property is old and not in great shape. People outside talking loudly and dogs barking. Did finally go to sleep, slept well because mattress was good. Can’t recommend it.

Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
What a wonderful little hotel !!! The Tiki Bar was a delight. Brian and Tyler we’re fantastic bartenders. The room itself was very cute. Mid-century modern and everything was brand new. It’s the bed was wonderfully comfortable and it was very spacious. We would definitely return.
