“For an affordable stay in Sarasota, Americas Best Value Inn lands you right where you want to be-close to downtown and plenty to do. The spacious rooms, each equipped with a microwave and mini-fridge, offer solid comfort after a day out; though the Wi-Fi can be spotty, the location and friendly service make it a worthy consideration. It's a no-frills base of operations with a surprisingly nice pool, and that makes all the difference.”
