I can't remember who told me about this place, but it might have been swampy. I have relatives in Sarasota, so I've never been able to stay at a hotel, but I think I'd try this one if I could ever sneak into town without anybody knowing. I don't have a clue about rates, but the beach is absolutely gorgeous. You might find there's no such thing as "inexpensive" if you're going around the holidays, though.
