The Country Inn & Suites Sanibel Gateway was very nice. It appeared to be rather new and in great condition. Hotel staff members were very friendly and helpful. They offered fresh baked cookies every day and the continental breakfast was better than most. We chose this hotel because it was closest to Sanibel Island and Captiva. It was perfect!

Positives: Location was close to shopping and the beaches. Hotel staff was very friendly. Breakfast was great.

Negatives: The breakfast room was being renovated and no bathroom storage.

Good hotel, noisy family next to us, but that's not the hotel's fault. The Target Job Fair was a definite turn off, the lines out the front door when we arrived, the extra people in the breakfast room and the lack of parking for hotel patrons wasn't a good thing.

Positives: The hotel was priced right & was convenient to a resort where I was attending a wedding.

Negatives: The Target Job fair lines out the front door & in the way in the breakfast area.

Negatives: You need a car because there is not much within walking distance.

We felt like we were visiting in someone's home. The lobby was so beautiful and cozy with the fireplace that people sat in there and we talked like we were old friends. There was such a welcoming atmosphere when we first entered and it was a feeling that stayed. The breakfasts were wonderful.

Positives: It made us feel at home, relaxed.

Negatives: If you don't like people and want to be alone, this is not the place to go.

Country inn is really 2 stars, not 2.5. I've stayed in several. They all tend to smell bad. This one is also located far from everything.

Positives: Staff was friendly.

Negatives: Room smelled badly---smoke and other odors.
