Art Ovation Hotel, Autograph Collection

The hotel was terrific. We went to enjoy USA 250th celebration and fireworks. We arrived and the hotel staff showed me a plaque where I had been designated guest of the day and they gave us a free bottle of nice wine and free valet parking. The room was clean and plenty of space. Our first night we went to the rooftop bar and ate light with a burger and beers. On the 4th we took a walk on the streets in the morning, very clean and safe. After a trip to St Armands Circle in the afternoon, we rested and then went to the fireworks not far from the hotel. We ended the night at the downstairs bar with lots of happy people and staff. Art Ovation staff treated us great and the location is perfect for moving around Sarasota.

This is our fourth time staying at the Art Ovation because we love it. It’s a super-clean, elegant hotel that also is a great value for the money. This time, the desk clerk, Annemarie, upgraded us to the nicest room at the hotel we have stayed in so far. The valet parking guys are awesome, the pool area & rooftop bar are gorgeous & everyone is super-friendly. We will be back!

Very nice hotel. Excellent staff. Very friendly and helpful. The shuttle drivers always went above and beyond. The only thing that was missing was a microwave in the room and automatic entrance doors. I will definitely go back again.

One of the best things about this hotel is its location- there are a multitude of restaurants within walking distance and the theatre is right across the street. Valet parking and resort fee is expensive Room is pretty basic. I asked for make up remover wipes but they don't have any. There is a restaurant downstairs with an interesting Mediterranean menu.
