“This downtown Sarasota hotel certainly has a unique angle, setting itself apart with in-room instruments and art supplies alongside curated exhibitions from local artists. The rooftop bar impresses with city views, but I note some past guests have mentioned inconsistent service and unexpected charges; I would recommend confirming all costs before settling the bill. Overall, a promising experience, but future guests should ensure smooth billing.”
