Loved the 2 bedroom room, plenty of space, full kitchen, and was quiet We enjoyed breakfast each day and service was friendly No issues with the location either

My only complaint was the ac in the room it never felt cool and the room always felt “damp” like The carpet could definitely be replaced One of the bathrooms water pressure wasn’t the greatest or “hot” which wasn’t a problem for me since I just used the other shower But might be issue for bigger families that stay there I didn’t complain since we were only there couple of days and was doable Overall the stay went well

Joel Webb

Breakfasts are top notchRooms were spacious and modernLobby had small meeting nooks, a large breakfast area, outdoor pool, and a great workout facility

Outside exterior was being painted at the time, but construction wasn’t disturbing to residentsHotel is close to the beachAquarium in the lobby is nice touch alsoDidn’t hear any noise from neighbors or upstairs/downstairsOnly negative issue is we found a live huge cockroach in our unitInternet Speed test came in at 461Mbps

We really loved our room: lots of space, cozy beds, a cute kitchenette with even a dishwasher! The staff also was very friendlyBUT: our toilet absolutely did not work Whenever we used it it got clogged! We went to the reception and maintenance fixed it twice after every time we used it

We then stopped using it because apparently something is wrong with the pipes Having a room with no functioning toilet really isn’t something I was expecting from Marriott!The other problem was the breakfast: very poor choices, usually some things were already gone no matter when you came to eat I would’ve expected more from that as well

We were so pleased with our stay! We went on a family vacation and had no clue what to do and where to stay Our stay was great, clean rooms, friendly staff

they gave us great recommendations for family stuff to do in the area! I thought it was weird the bathroom door didn’t have a lock on it but that’s was minor We would absolutely stay here again!

If you have children & are planning to stay a couple of days, then I’d say you can “tough it out” The pool/sun tanning area in the back courtyard is perfect for kids & adult relaxation (no lifeguard) It’s updated & has lots of “curb appeal’

But if you’re a couple & want a better or upgraded experience, this may not be the hotel for you No central air Their units work, but not at optimal performance The room is musty & damp The rug never seems to be 100% dry I think the filters need to cleaned or replaced Mattress too “sunk-in” Staff friendly Excellent parking (front & rear)

Susie

Our morning flight was canceled and we quickly booked a room at the Crowne Plaza Ft Myers at Bell Towers Megan, at the front desk, was extremely helpful and understanding

She held our bags and let us know as soon as our room was ready (way ahead of check in time) Restaurant staff and housekeeping/maintenance staff were also helpful and courteous Nice workout facility and pool This is a great location with plenty of things to do to fill a day of unexpected down time

Stacey was friendly, courteous, and very accommodating by giving me a room with handrails in the bathroom as requested She was willing to change rooms if I wasn’t pleased with the room but it was just as I needed She was also helpful in getting me checked in for a second night when I decided to extend my stay

Good customer service! Also kudos to the breakfast staff person who was very sweet and friendly

Christine Franceschi

My husband and I were in town just overnight, to attend his Mom’s viewing and funeral service The room was clean and in order when we entered Upon return that evening we were exhausted, so we immediately showered and hit the bed

The bed closest to the window is where we slept, and used the other bed to throw our bags and lay out our clothing Not long after after trying to sleep the AC kicked LOUDLY on! if you had your back to the window, you’d freeze from the air blowing directly at your backWe got up and switched to the other bed! Then the mini-fridge kicked into another LOUD rant! I literally slept with my buds in, to drown out the noise Thank God it was just a one night stay If not, I would have changed hotels There were plenty in the areaThe next morning, we were downstairs for breakfast at about 6:30am Again, the area was clean and in order Just not a very palatable breakfast I had those eggs that you know are not natural, with sausage links Both might as well have been made out of paper Or at least, that’s how they tastedMy hotel preference is the Hilton Network This was just not up to the Hilton standard!

Brianne Kenny

Editing from 3 down to 2 stars: When I called about the missing items, there was no apology or promise to follow-up with housekeeping staff That didn’t feel so great And as you can see from the reply to this review, they don’t even care to address problems

Will be choosing an alternative next time we’re in townFront desk staff were very nice This was a decent stay You can easily hear people in rooms next to you so I recommend ear plugs to help you sleep I left some clothes hanging behind the bathroom door and I was very disappointed that they somehow disappeared later on when I realized and called them No name brand clothes, but clothes I rely on for work I travel here a lot for work and am a member with them but this makes me reconsider choosing them in the future

Deserves 3 1/2 stars but had some issues staying here Reaching a live agent at the hotels front desk is as bad as cable companies giving a 5hr window for installation time I was on hold for over 20 minutes to finally have someone pick up & ended up getting a woman who didn’t speak English well & didn’t know the property too well regarding their own rooms

All I wanted to know was if my room I reserved had a microwave or an oven as I was trying to figure out what to get at the grocery store for the super bowl Once we got there I was very pleased with how clean & spacious the room was While settling in, both my guest & I wanted to take baths before the start of the super bowl and was disappointed to see there was no drain plug I phoned down to the front desk & got the same lady who didnt speak/understand English well as I asked if someone can bring a drain plug so we can take a bath 15 minutes later the maintenance man came up holding a toilet plungerwe told the guy we requested a drain plug for the tub so he went back downstairs & again 15min later he comes back & brings 2 sizes that weren’t meant for the tub as he brought a kitchen sink drain plug & a bathroom sink plug instead He asked if we wanted him to keep looking which we said would be great, about 30 minutes later he came back with the correct type built for our tub Just unfortunate as both my guest & I couldn’t take the bath before the super bowl began so he did first & I did after the game was over However the bed was extremely comfortable for a great night sleep & very clean throughout the whole room But for future vacations I may end up booking another place to try out as this place didnt really stand out However the rep who checked us in & checked us out had a very friendly good personality so kudos to her!

Mark Scholtz

The stay was good However, we were staying for a week long baseball tournament The fact that only one dryer worked for our entire stay was incredibly inconvenient based on the fact that there were several other teams staying at this location

There never seemed to be any urgency by management for a resolution and lots of frustrated parents waiting their turn well after midnight for the one operable dryer

Charlene Bolt

My review isn’t about my stay here, I was one of the new hire housekeepers when this establishment was being built I worked here for 7 days and because of covid hitting I was forced to pack up my things and move up to Orlando I let the main house keeping woman in charge named Robin know that I was leaving and gave her my address for my check to be sent to me because I worked 7 days so therefore I should be paid for 7 days

I have never received my check and that has been since 2019 I have sent emails to try and get in contact with people but nothing is responded to If you can reach out to me or my emails I would be grateful

Lovely hotel, mostly hospitable staff (they do kick you out of the pool/hot tub AT 10PM – they are not playing! LOL), nice breakfast offerings, comfy bed/couch/rolling chair w coffee table & desk in room

Only real complaints are no fan in bathroom & no seating @ smoking areas8/10 recommend – good pricing for how nice it is

Lisa Metcalfe

Friendly, welcoming staff in lovely, quieter, just-off-the-main-road location Pleasant pool/hot tub area with umbrella table seating and soft background music as well There are disposable ear phones, filtered water and sanitizer in the well-equipped fitness center–Love the fish tank in lobby! Dining service was fantastic and the grilled, 4-cheese grilled sandwich with tomato/basil soup was perfect😋

Wallace Myers

Highly recommend! I travel often and this is one of the best hotels in this price point Many hotels still do not have Netflix and other streaming service capabilities in room tv and this hotel has that and cable The gym is above average for a hotel gym

The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming and everyone seems super happy to be working here with lots of positivity Lastly, the place is spotless The hotel lobby is constantly being cleaned and wiped down The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable I have stayed here on 2 separate occasion while traveling for work for a total of 6 nights Definitely will stay again if in the area!

Excellent from check in to check out Vicky at guest services was more than accommodating John the bellman was extremely helpful when we extended our stay and changed our room

Nicole from housekeeping made sure our room was clean and had fresh towels Kevin and Randy from the bar made sure we were taken care of while we spent time relaxing down by the pool Updated, clean rooms Beautiful gulf view Easy access to the beach Before we left we made sure to book our next stay! We loved it!

Rebekah Owens

The location is perfect, the views from the room are beautiful Access to the beach is extremely convenient However, our stay this time was a little disappointing

The room was not that clean unfortunately Someone’s hair was all over the pillows in the bedroom Maintenance had to come and fix one of the TVs The toilet constantly ran The tile floors in the room were dirty with some film, so we had to wear socks while in the room The bed was beyond firm, it was hard We asked if maybe there was a pillow top to place on the mattress but they did not have any The front desk was kind enough to offer another comforter instead We were there for two nights and on the second night the inside restaurant was closed which is fine, however the bar and outside restaurant closed at 6pm So pretty much everything in the hotel shut down at 6pm The bar staff were unapologetic Not very convenient when you’re paying the rates they are asking for

Marlys Battema

Everything was great We did not go to the pool but it did not look particularly clean Beach chair and umbrella set up was great

I did not rate service 5 stars because the bar closed at 8 pm which seemed a little early and room service for food was only on certain days Also no cleaning service in the rooms They did have a towel exchange system that worked well If you set the trash out in the hall someone picked it up Maybe they are working around staffing limitations We would come back for another vacation

Last year, this place was great! It used to be privately owned and the owner took special care of his guests Now it’s owned by Sea Gypsy Vacation Rentals There is nobody in the office to provide help of any kind

We had no towels and were running out of tissues and TP Then management told us they no longer provide clean towels or cleaning service at all during a stay Guests need to do and bring everything themselves Including paper towels and TP We were not advised of this before we came Beware!

Nicky Vanda

We usually go in May and stay 4-5 nights Didn’t go last year Thank you covid! Owners are great people and very sociable

Clean rooms Pool is nice and clean Close to everything!! Love the kitchenette in room! We also use the grill to cook out on! Beach chairs and towels to use! Housekeeping is on point! We love going here and will continue staying there!! I had a friend come visit from Fort Myers Steve was fine with it as long as you let him know The owners are always kind and courteous to us! Will definitely stay here all the time!

Sarah Shipman

The best location!! The place was clean and in a perfect spot Uber from the airport and you will never need a car for your stay Many, many restaurants within two blocks

The beach is right across the streeteasily able to walk back for lunch We stayed in one of the two bedroom cottages It was not up to date, but for the location, it was a win for us!There were beach towels for each of us at the cottage to use There was coffee, cream and sugar with the coffee maker The owner has some beach chairs availablenot guaranteed, but there are some there

The pool area was clean and nicely maintained No hot tub The room was clean and bed was comfortable

The pull out sofa bed was old and extremely uncomfortable The cushions sagged We had to purchase a foam mattress topper to make it able to be slept on Overall the stay was enjoyable We liked the location convenient to Sanibel and the excellent diner restaurants within walking distance to the property Good lower cost alternative close to the beaches without paying premium prices for a beachfront hotel

Margie Lieto

This hotel has the most professional, friendliest, courteous employees you could ever ask for I encountered at least a dozen during my stay One more pleasant than the next

The general manager is excellent You can see how she cares about her hotel guests and her employees Breakfast was wonderful and a different selection each day Pool is beautiful and clean Hotel and rooms are clean Do not ever go to the Holiday Inn express which is right next door They have the rudest employees, the Holiday inn express is dirty, when you walk in you are not welcomed Hampton inn and suites fort myers beach fl will give you a happy, memorable experience I will stay at the Hampton inn and suites again for sure!!

Chuck Stanford

GROSS!! If we weren’t so tired from traveling today we would have left immediately The room was dirty, the bathroom was filthy, the tub would not drain out, the walls are paper thin, the power went out momentary but came back on Totally not recommended! Go next door to the Holiday Inn Express for the same price! That is where we will be tomorrow night

(The only nice thing we can say is the guy checking us on was very friendly)

Wonderful experience and clean resort Top notch Breakfast Buffet excellent

Enjoyed Naughty Mermaid, Gather which is near, ice cream shop near, boat ride to Ft Myers Beach, loved the marina, walking in the morning, workout facility Hotel pool booked quick and people left towels out all day even when not there We enjoyed other two pools but it would be nice if this was monitored Check your bill before you leave We had slight discrepancy but they fixed quickly Management was always on top of everything and everyone was very helpful No beach but we drove to some and enjoyed the resort The rooms were spacious, clean, well equipped

Karen Greer

Very nice enclosed free garage Small boardwalk with a few shoppes and 2 seafood restaurants Excellent customer service front desk, restaurants, maintenance, room service

Restaurant staff especially friendly and happy! Restaurant with inside / shaded outside seating, generous portions, limited menu due to off season but able to order Grub hub, etc Although menu said blackened grouper you could also get it fried or grilled Large pool with multiple seats, 4 cabanas, hot tub Beautiful Scenery on marina side Ceiling fan in our room Large shower with excellent pressure and hot water Maintenance changed out our patio fan due to not working, changed out our refrigerator that was frozen All quickly and without complaint Our only issue was the sliding glass doors to our patio were very dirty on the outside, marring our beautiful view My husband easily wiped them down himself though We opted not to have daily housekeeping, instead asking for extra towel sets and trash bags upon arrival It was easy to get anything else we needed from housekeeping as we saw them on our floor We opted to have a microwave at a daily charge of $10 Los of activities near the pool A little off the beaten path Not within walking distance of other restaurants or activities, more secluded Very relaxing Daily boat shuttle to Ft Meyers Plan on definitely returning!

Jonathan Gibson

Oh my goodness, this hotel was amazing Wow, what a place! The marina was very well laid out, the property was beautiful The rooms were spacious and clean, with good amenities

Absolutely loved the layout and design They have a beautiful “boardwalk” along the water with all sorts of shops I will definitely be returning to this location and hopefully for a longer stay Highly recommend Also, the Valet deserves a promotion

This was the newest, cleanest and most friendly hotel I have ever stayed in I was there 9 days in March 2022 and loved everything about it! The location was central to everything! The bed was soft and comfortable and the room was clean and did not smell The hot water was plentiful no matter what time I showered and the air conditioning worked perfectly

They had a blow dryer, an iron and ironing board and a direct line to the front desk Someone was there at all times to answer any questions and everyone was exceptionally nice The breakfast was amazing and you can make your own one-minute pancakes by pressing a button Fresh omelets, sausages, bananas, oranges, muffins, bagels, juice, oatmeal, toast, and yogurt were the choices I couldn’t complain about anything! Oh, and a coffee and tea bar (there were also K-cups with the machine in our room) I would never stay anywhere else! This was the best choice away from home

Woody

My fishing buddy and I have been staying at the Cape Coral Holiday Inn Express for a few years now It is perfectly located near the places we visit and isn’t far from the fishing charters we book on a yearly basis The hotel staff is friendly, rooms are clean and comfortable, and is within walking distance from our favorite restaurant, “The Monkey Bar and Grill

” I’m a member with Holiday Inn (IHG Hotels) and this has been my favorite hotel to stay in, and I have stayed in several Holiday Inn Hotels throughout the USA I encourage everyone to stay here if they are going to be in the Fort Meyer/Cape Coral area because you won’t be disappointed! I would like to give a shout out to the great staff there! Thanks for making every stay as comfortable as possible! KUDOS!!!

Amy Blencowe

This is a good hotel with a good location to access everything around The rooms were clean and bathroom was really big The AC was right next to one of the beds so we had to put a chair in front of it to block the cold air

I am not super happy that they are still using only plastic plates and utensils during breakfast Overall, if you are just touring the area and only in the hotel to sleep it’s a good choice The staff working the breakfast buffet is very nice but literally any staff at the front desk should be avoided because they are all pretty rude

Enjoyed our stay! Room was nice and spacious

smelled musty though There was a fridge, microwave and coffeemaker Staff very friendly, helpful and professional Nice breakfast spread in the morning with coffee and tea available 24/7 The hotel is within walking distance of lots of shops Costco warehouse and gas are immediately behind the Fairfield Inn in a small shopping center It seems to be fairly well situated for driving around Cape Coral and Ft Myers

Briton Bochenski

They have a renovation going on, which makes things a little difficult and I understand that The hotel was hardly occupied and I was placed on the 3rd floor, right next to the construction The elevator stopped going to the 3rd floor during my stay

It took 3 different trips down the stairs throughout the day and telling the front desk before finally running into a maintenance person and telling him before it was even addressed Foresight in not sticking a guest right next to construction, and if your forced to offer some type of concessions to balance the situation The rooms are very nice Just a bad experience this time around

Great location Food and drinks are really expensive However, you will find affordable prices within a short walk

Rooms need TLC (dirty drapes and walls) and the noise level is way too high past midnight Yes, music from 8 pm to 12 am However, the lack of consideration by guests is beyond words Either too drunk or really don’t care about anyone else Be aware of the additional taxes imposed in addition to the beach resort and state tax Bed Tax? Really? There is only one shower in the pool area We were trying to minimize the amount of sand coming into the resort (elevator, hallway, and room) If you want to feel like you are on spring break all the time, go for it

This is a ‘young people’ resort with a 5 star restaurant on the top floor Amazing music played at night by a live band Definitely not a place for kids or people who want quiet and relaxation

More a party crowd, which is fine because that is what some people go on vacation for Rooms were very clean Staff was amazing and on point Only wish is that I knew about this place when I was younger!!

I stayed here for seven days July-August of this year This place is fantastic Comfortable beds, clean rooms, great pool and Tiki bar/restaurant

The staff was fantastic and very accommodating Cold A/C in the roomsThis is not the Ritz-Carlton and they’re not trying to be Nothing fancy but everything you needThe only “con” I have is that they could use some more healthy options at the restaurant!

We had a wonderful time at the Tiki Hut Great entertainment and I have to give a shout out to the Bar Boy That kid looks to be loving life and always has a smile on his face

Also, the front desk ladies were very pleasant! The rooms are very simple and that’s just fine with us We only used them to sleep in 😀We will definitely consider this place again when we venture back to Florida

To anyone reading this that is looking for a HOTEL/RESORT, do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTSFirst of all, this is NOT a “resort,” this is a motel This is a fact

Go into street view to get a good look at the place from the outside along with the general area it’s in Then Google the definition of “motel”The photos they have on booking sites are all flattering angles of the few redeeming qualities of this place that are not at all worth the stay They knowingly omit and hide all of the unappealing things that greatly outweigh the goodHere’s my story: I booked this place for my mom to enjoy Mother’s day We were both under the impression that this would be a very nice resort to stay at because of the nice pictures they had and the overall star rating of the place We were both looking forward to it When we finally arrived, we almost immediately realized that this place is a motel We decided to still go ahead and check in The room was exactly what you would expect from a motel Low quality beds, a tiny television, a very weak air conditioner, etcWe thought it was a mistake and so we asked for another room, which they granted, and it was the same We paid about $160 for a night a crummy motel fronting as a resort What an absolute jokeLong story short, they denied our request for a refund and we found an actual hotel (Holiday Inn) literally one block from there for cheaper ($140) on a same day notice, providing a much higher quality experience I could see the miserable place from my balcony from how close it wasTrust me Avoid this place and save yourself the money and disappointment I was convinced that this place is a scam the second they refused to give me my money back Although I admittedly should have looked deeper into the place before booking it, a business with real integrity that stands by what it provides would not hesitate to provide a refund for an unsatisfied customer WHO DID NOT EVEN USE THEIR SERVICES There is no ethical justification to that and they simply took advantage of the fact that they are not obligated to provide a refund once the refund period has expiredEDIT in response to the owner’s smug response: The agency I paid through told me that the business must authorize the refund before they can go through with it Therefore your intentionally bad analogy of buying a book from Amazon and asking the author for a refund just reinforces the lack of integrity I initially wrote about Also, the prices I stated in my review were accurate for when we booked it, which was Mother’s DayHow about taking responsibility instead of trying to underhandedly save face while trying to seem like you are being graceful?

I had an absolutely wonderful time staying here at Latitude 26! I stayed here in October with 2 friends The staff were all very personable, friendly and more than willing to help with any request The amenities were unlike any hotel I had stayed at anywhere else

Gas BBQ grill, gas flat top grill, outdoor gas fire tables just to name a few all of which we used with zero problem! The pool was phenomenal and the view at the back of the property was amazing as well! I HIGHLY recommend staying here if you’re ever visiting Ft Myers! The location is just minutes away from “Times Square” and several entrances to the beach!

First time staying at this resort and it definitely will not be my last! Every room has a beautiful balcony view of the Gulf of Mexico 🇲🇽 😍, the rooms were spacious! Definitely enough breathing space for a family of four although I was here on a company award trip along with 20+ other co-workers (no kids) and we had a blast!! Great place to vacation for singles, couples and those with kids! Make sure to eat at Bongos which is one of the restaurants on property and have their Grouper sandwich That was my first time having Grouper and it was amazing 😋 You will not be disappointed staying here!

Mary Cris Baralla

Our stay at The Pink Shell Resort was an excellent break from winterOcean front, gorgeous pool areas, beautiful bar and restaurant, excellent service and very well appointed rooms We stayed in Gulf front room on the fourth floor and the views and sound from the beach were splendid! Beyond the relaxing atmosphere of the room, the next best part was the fantastic food and excellent service at the Restaurant

The complimentary breakfast are the best as well The staff was very attentive, professional and friendly Mercy was wonderful and very friendly A very fun vacation for our anniversary

Monica Grater

We loved our stay at the Pink Shell! The resort is kept very clean and everything is super convenient Three beautiful pools and their own private beach provide for endless fun They have their own water sport rental station that provides kayaks, paddle board, jet ski rentals and more

Our room had the most beautiful view and was very clean Breakfast was included and was very good They have a few different places to eat and all were great We also opted for a private dinner on the beach one night and it was one of the highlights of our stay All of the staff members were so kind and happy and made the stay even more enjoyable We highly recommend the Pink Shell and will be back!

This hotel is a hidden gem Great staff, excellent view and location The pictures online don’t do it justice

Most rooms have intracoastal water views Our suite had a living room, full kitchen, and bedroom with queen bed Bedroom looked out to the water with a deck out a back door And there’s two bar restaurants on premises, one being an open rooftop bar

Neil Wayne

My wife and I stayed here on Father’s day weekend Overall it was a pleasant stay One issue we had with the room is the stale smell upon entry

Got used to it after the first day Great location for walking to the beach and local restaurants The only time we drove is when we went to Sanibel and Captiva islands Walked the rest of the time Pool was great to relax in Great views Will visit again soon

afrank2442

So booked 4 nignts for over $100000Early morning heavy equipment before 7am woke us up every morning what a joke and their landscapers are out blowing like crazy at 730 am Don’t these people know we are on vacation management didn’t seem to care to much when approached

Also the pool cloudy and unappetizing We did not use the pool Oh yes I forgot were living under a tremendous underpass The rooms were okAlthought it is about 1/2 mile from everyplaceI would not come back Do not recommend Just being honestThere are nicer places on the strip

Many good things to say! Most notable is the pool and cabana area, wasn’t expecting that! I let my lovely wife pick this spot and I’m glad she did We booked our room with Katie she’s amazing, and Rob is rockstar who made it a point to show us to our kayaks Brittany brought us extra towels when we went over to the pool! And last but not least the owner sent us an email and thanked us for our stay! That’s what hospitality is all about, outstanding! Thank you!

Sydney Gruszka

OMG! First thing, Bonny! The sweetest host! She was kind and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed We extended our stay 2 extra nights because we loved this place so much and herSecond thing, Rooms! Spacious, modern, cute, clean and comfortable

Beach vibes! No complaints about the rooms! We moved rooms when we extended our stay and both rooms were incredible (19 & 3) 3 was our favorite I brought my 2 year old and she was comfy as well and we werent crowded Plenty of space for our things and even a little table to sit and eat TVs had hulu, netflix and disney plus Microwave and fridge Breakfast was every morning and it was nice, coffee was good The hotel is on the water and is peaceful and quiet But also next to a nice bar and restaurant&& Third, Amenities Bikes, kayaks, beach chairs you can use for free Which was awesome when we decided to head to Sanibel The chairs by the water have a fire pit that was easy to use and modern and perfect for winding down at night Grill was great and lounge area was so tropical and nice!! 🌴 pool area was clean and nice A little warm but id rather that then it be too cold! Nice beach chairs to lay in and fenced in which was nice for the kid! No kid pool but it wasn’t needed for usSafe to say I would stay here again and again And for the price, (we got a pretty good deal) it was nicer than any other hotel in the area

Brantley Moore

Katie at the desk is the sweetest girl and she gave us the warmest welcome We were leaving too early in the morning to board the key west Express to enjoy the complimentary breakfast and she voluntarily gave us plenty of breakfast snacks she had to give and showed us the free bicycles to enjoy as well as kayaks to go out on the harbor All complimentary! No additional fees ! The sunset was gorgeous that afternoon as well
