Crowne Plaza

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 26 Mar 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

This hotel is an excellent destination for overnight vacation travelers who intend to sample the variety of beaches and islands in the Fort Myers area. The hotel is quite new and very clean. The rooms are comfortable (although over-furnished).

Positives: Very close to Bell Tower, staff was very friendly.

Negatives: Room was over-furnished: Charis were hard to use because they were stuffed into corners.

This Crowne Plaza was formerly a Holiday Inn. The interior rooms looked high quality. The building itself was not designed as an upscale Crowne Plaza. It was nice.

Positives: Excellent location near shopping and restaurants.

Negatives: Not as upscale as expected.

The location of this hotel is excellent and is probably better quality than most hotels in town in Fort Myers however; there are some improvements that could be made. The bathrooms are still Holiday Inn bathrooms. The refrigerator in the room is a nice touch and the beds were very comfortable.

Positives: The central location in town is excellent and there are movie theaters and restaurants in walking distance.

Negatives: Since this was formally a Holiday Inn one can still tell that it is still a holiday inn with a couple of improvements.

The customer service was very poor; the clerk couldn't pass on a simple message to my boyfriend from less then 5 minutes earlier and I watched her watch him walk right on by.

Positives: The location was great and the pool view was too.

Negatives: The desk service was poor.

We had ants in the room, the carpet was disgusting, and the bathtub was very dirty. The maids cleaned our room one day, and did not clean the bathtub, and took out the shower curtain and the coffee pot. We had to call the front desk and have them bring the items back. We had small children with us. It was terrible and we will probably never come again.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Ants in room, dirty.

Pros: very nice hotel. Very comfortable and clean. Beds are great. Staff is extra helpful. Lots to do nearby. (I recommend the Edison Ford Estates, the Koreshan Village, and of course Sanibel, and Captiva Islands), and the pool is fantastic. cons: although the room overall was pretty clean, I found a packet of male enhancement cream on the floor and a piece of the sliding window latch that someone had broken of by someone prying the window open from outside. Also, there was hair in the shower from the last guest.

Positives: The desk clerk that checked me in went out of her way to make sure I was happy.

Negatives: Shower could have been cleaner.

Positives: The rooms are nicely furnished and the beds are comfy.

Negatives: I didn't like the furniture in the hotel lobby. Wireless Internet didn't work.

I liked to hotel, it was convenient to multiple restaurants, shopping, etc. Very modern appearance and value for price. Greeted with opera softly playing in the room was a comforting touch.

Positives: Had music playing opera when you arrive in your room. Nice effect upon arrival.

Negatives: Noticed that other guests room service was left outside door to be picked up for quite awhile.

We were very, very pleased. The beds were so comfortable and the sheets smelled so good. The pool was very nice and also very clean. They also provided towels, although they were a bit rough, as if they'd been washed too much or needed some fabric softener. Overall, though, very positive stay. The kids also loved it.

Positives: Very nice, updated, clean; staff was very accommodating to our needs, so was room service after closed.

Negatives: There was a smell of beer by the fridge, as if on the carpet.

Positives: Small size hotel, location to shops, and king size bed comes with pull out sofa.
