We reserved at Southland Inn after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. We are really glad we stayed there. Our room was only $110 a night, and I was surprised to find it actually was an efficiency apt. There was an undercounter fridge, a microwave, and two burner cooktop. Dishwashing soap, dishrag and dishtowel also were provided, as was a coffee... More

Great Inn with clean rooms and friendly service. Michael at the front desk always had a positive attitude. He speaks several foreign languages and heard him speak Spanish, French and Italian with ease. The suite had a nice kitchen area with a nearby supermarket. There was a nice residential neighborhood for walking and a beach within a few miles. Overall,... More

The friendly staff was very understanding when... More

Sarasota does not lack for accommodations from ultra deluxe to extremely basic. If you are searching for a convenient central location, immaculately clean rooms and reasonable prices, Southland Inn may be for you. The facility is a classic 1950 era motel situated on the Tamiami Trail. It would fit right in on Route 66. The current owners take pride in... More

In the finest tradition of “Mom & Pop” customer service, they provide extraordinarily CLEAN well-sized rooms, with equally clean fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, dishes, silverware, pots, pans, etc. The beds are comfortable, the carpeting looks new, and all staff members are extremely pleasant and helpful! The free WiFi was a bonus, and it aided our choices on local attractions,... More
