$$$-$$$$, Sarasota
Fodor's Review:
The only B&B in downtown Sarasota, the inn has a delightful assortment of themed rooms. The Martha Rose Suite has French accessories with a balcony overlooking the gulf, a sitting area, and a separate powder room. French doors in the Mango Suite open onto a garden, and the furnishings include a couch, armchair, and Victorian writing desk. Aptly named Kathryn's Garden Room has a floral feel with wicker furnishings, a sitting area, and views of live oaks and mango trees. The Victorian-style Elizabeth Brittany Suite has an oak high-back bed and tropical sitting room. And the Essie Leigh Key West Room has a front-porch view of the bay, a pewter-and-brass bed, and private entrance. All have private baths. Rates include full breakfast and afternoon hors d'oeuvres and refreshments. Guests under 21 aren't permitted. Pros: friendly staff, convenient to downtown, a five-minute drive from the beaches at Lido Key. Cons: no in-room phones.
