It was the worse experience that we've had. The hotel is charming, is cute, nice location. But we couldn't go to the pools because they were so dirty that it was discussing. All day we were surrounded by drunken people that didn't stop smoking even inside the pool. They didn't clean the room once while we were there. We'll never go there again!

Positives: It's an out of the ordinary hotel.

Negatives: The service is bad, no parking, filthy pools, drunk people.

I would recommend this place to anyone, and would definitely stay here again.

Positives: Clean, convenient, and exceeded expectations.

Negatives: Nothing.

Our room was fine until 4:30 AM when the ceiling started leaking heavily. My laptop almost got ruined. The water did not stop coming out for a long time. There was nobody at the front desk and no number to call anywhere in the room. The same thing was happening to our neighbor. He finally found a number and it took somebody about an hour and a half to get out there and stop the water. Then we were told we would have to wait for a room to open up before we could move as the place was sold out. We got moved to a new room at about 10:30 AM. We were given a 2 BR suite. However I was very disappointed that they did not give me the free night. They gave me half off the first night and a "free" upgrade. I did not want/need the upgrade and the only reason they did it was because they probably did not have any other rooms. Not happy with my experience at all.

Positives: Lively atmosphere.

Negatives: No one at front desk overnight or emergency contact besides 911.

The location was convenient, close to the beach (not as close as they advertise). Older, could use updating, definitely needs to have a good "scrub" a lot of funky "substances" on the walls in the bathroom. Check in was fine, as well as check out.

Positives: Location, Tiki bar, staff.

Negatives: Cleanliness was lacking, furnishings were extremely dated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 03 Mar 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

The hotel was sufficient for the one night I stayed, however, overpriced even though surrounding hotels were more expensive. This was very old and a bit run down.

Positives: Tiki bar was open later than most things in the surrounding area.

Negatives: There was no blanket, front desk not friendly or helpful, parking was very bad.

If youre looking for basic amenities, it will suffice.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Staff not friendly and room shabby.

The hotel has multiple sections. The sections that have not been updated do not merit more than 1/2 a star. The sections that have been updated are a little better, worth about 1 and 1/2 stars, but the entire hotel is built in such a small area that it all suffers from too much noise either from the nearby road or the tiki bar of the hotel itself. The staff is not particularly cooperative or friendly.

Positives: It was easy to walk to the beach and beach stores.

Negatives: The hotel is too close to the main entry road to the beach.

This hotel has live entertainment every night, so if you want some sleep you might be out of luck. It was a party motel. It is not a hotel. Rooms were not very clean, spilled milk on carpet that no one cleaned up or puke I am not sure. Our feet were black from the carpet, so you will want to wear shoes in the room. It is a very good location to the beach and time square.

Positives: Good location to times square and the beach

Negatives: Rooms were not clean, we had what looked like spilled milk or puke on our floor that no one cleaned. Feet were black from carpet. It was gross.

Liked the hotel and might stay again if price was right and we could stay away from bar.

Positives: Overall appearance outside as well as inside. Also liked the small pool for my child.

Negatives: Hated the loud tike bar on other side of small pool from us.

This hotel has wonderful character and location. The office was extremely nice and helpful. We received two upgrades without even asking. Times square and ft. Myers beach is about 1 block away. We had a very good time!

Positives: The location was excellent!

Negatives: The cleaning lady did not lock our door when she finished.

I would never stay here again.

Positives: Nothing. It was dirty, loud music from the bar all night. Horrible pool terrible experience.

Negatives: Roaches dirty pool loud music and drunks all night.

This hotel is fine if you get a cheaper-priced room and do not plan to spend all your time there. Even lower-priced rooms had a coffee pot, TV, small refrigerator and hair dryer. For the price, it was very adequate for my needs. The resort has 2 pools and you can walk to shopping, great food and the fishing pier. Lots of flora and nice tiki-hut with food and drinks. A good value if you do not expect a luxury resort.

Positives: Wide range of rooms and prices. My room was fine for my purposes.

Negatives: Beach was across the street.

The hotel is lovely, decorated beautifully. Everyone was friendly. Location was convenient to all entertainment, restaurants, and the beach. We never rented a car and was within easy walking to things to do.

Positives: Setting and quiet atmosphere. Room had everything you needed, pools were excellent.

Negatives: Maid did not service the room on Saturday.

Location is good but property should not 'rest' on that advantage. The rooms 'reeked' of odor control products, there were obvious places on the walls where plumbing leaks were staining the ceilings. The bed was extremely uncomfortable the sheets and towels were threadbare.

Positives: Interior rehab is necessary.

Negatives: Interiors, beds need upgrading immediately.

Very colorful, freshly painted and well taken care of. Rooms very large and had everything that was possibly needed. Fantastic accommodations for families with children.

Positives: The atmosphere both inside and out and the kids loved it.

Negatives: Nothing negative to report.

Located in the heart of Ft. Myers Beach where shopping, a play ground, beach and places to eat/drink. We stayed in the new section on the 3rd floor. The only thing bad is that you could not order your drinks and food together (pain in the butt) and you had to go to the bar to order your drinks instead of having the server to get it for you. To get to the beach you had to cross somewhat of a busy intersection, but not too bad, you just would not let your children be ahead of you to cross it on their own. Just a 5 min. walk, if that.

Positives: The price was good and it was clean inside/outside.

Negatives: The Bar and food were separated. Had to go get your drinks and order your food separate.

While the hotel was handy to the beach, I did not care for the room. It was not as clean as I am used to when I travel, the carpeting was not in very good shape. The A/C was noisy and water dripped from it. I wondered why they were pressure washing (most of the day) during spring break - why not wait till off season. It was noisy and not very relaxing to sit by the pool with loud equipment running and getting sprayed with water.

Positives: I liked the size of the hotel - not too big.

Negatives: The rooms were stark - bare bones, no shampoo, tattered towels.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 08 Mar 2006 rated 7 out of 10.

We expected more of a seaside resort. Actual reality is this is not on the actual beach and is a motel setting. Mid court bar could prove noisy for some, the highlight of their stay for others. Overall this would appeal to partiers rather than those looking for a quiet night.

Positives: The rooms were large with separate kitchen, bedroom and well laid out.

Negatives: Bedding sheets could have been less starchy. Emphasis seemed to be on the mid court bar or restaurant more than on room comfort.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 05 Mar 2006 rated 1 out of 10.

Noisy, cheap, dirty, old beds. Very little water pressure in showers. Our bedroom was right next to a very noisy bridge, and could not sleep all night.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Noisy, cheap, dirty.
