I was very disappointed in this hotel. We stay in IHG hotels all over the country. This hotel was half full and they gave us a room next to the elevator. The ice maker was not turned on in the refrigerator yet the hotel did not have a central ice maker for our use. When asked where the ice maker... More

We are Family Friendly! With an outdoor pool and the beaches just minutes away, I am glad your family had a great time. Our staff treats you like you are staying in our home. Just a short drive to almost anywhere in Fort Myers, we have a great, quiet location suitable for families or local business people. More

Got a great rate here and stayed just 1night although would have been happy to stay longer. Not a wonderful location but fine if you have a car. The suites have a kitchen, sitting area as well as a bedroom and bath. Would have no hesitation in staying again.

Luckily, we are in a cul-de-sac and all our rooms are very quiet. There is no street noise like some hotels off the highway. Next time, ask for a room overlooking the pond so you can see the turtles, the alligator and all our Florida wildlife. More

Close to trolly stop for beach. Great pool and deck area. Rooms clean and well cared for. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It's nice to have kitchen area for breakfast and snacks. Only complaint I have on this chain is there are no ice machines. The ice maker in frig isn't adequate for a cooler

Being 4 miles from Fort Myers Beach, a short drive to Sanibel Island, and minutes from Downtown, makes us central to all Fort Myers has to offer! Beach, Shopping, Restaurants, Night Life, I hope you bring comfortable shoes on your next stay! More
