Excellent hotel in Pinecraft area
This is an excellent hotel. Experienced, professional staff are very helpful. Rooms are large, well-appointed and very clean. The hallways between rooms in this hotel are the widest I have ever seen, and decorated with tables, lamps and couches. Common areas such as lobby, convention areas and breakfast areas are large and very nice. This is an Amish hotel that has all the modern conveniences and great hospitality. The hotel shares a parking lot with Der Dutchman, a restaurant owned by the same group as the hotel. The room was great value for the money.

Caudillo Family Trip
I took a trip with my family to Siesta Key and stayed at this hotel in the Suite. The location and the room was great. Bought food to put in frigid, also had a stove to cook. Room was perfect with big bathroom, washer and dryer. All you can eat breakfast in the morning. The pool was nice to swim with the family. I will stay here when I come back to Siesta Key

Relaxing stay
The customer service is by far the best I've encountered. The front desk staff were amazing and so friendly. Everything was superb from entering the hotel till check out. The lobby is beautiful and the complimentary cookies were delicious. Gary was super nice and attentive. The room was super clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable.
Breakfast was great Nancy and the maintenace person ( didn't catch his name) were so helpful when the water machine wouldn't work they apologized and gave us water bottles. It truly was a wonderful stay.I will definitely return and stay longer one night wasnt enough.
