My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Holiday Inn in October 09. It was unusually hot for this time of year. We were told it was usually in the 80's with lower humidity but it was high 90"s everyday we were there. The No See Ums were sand fleas I guess which attacked me but not my husband.... more

Our family has stayed at this Holiday Inn on Sanibel for the last 3 years in a row and are always pleased with this hotel. The rooms are clean and decorated with tropical flair. This year we stayed here in August and had a second floor Gulf View room which also overlooked the pool. The view was perfect. The front... more

We spent 6 nights here. The accomodations were exceptional. Extremely clean rooms and environment. Beautifully landscaped...pool is beautiful and clean. Pool bar had excellent drinks and reasonable, good food. Ocean is mere short walk from your hotel door. The housekeeping service is extraordinary. We generally stay at a higher class of hotels but this hotel has outclassed the Sanibel Harbour... more

I went on an end of summer trip with my 10 year old, and this was our first time in Sanibel Island. While the hotel is very close to the beach, it is not as close to anything else. We did walk to the nearest convenience store and to rent bikes, about a 10-15 minute walk. I would suggest either... more

Couldn't agree more with the previous post. Just got back 2 days ago. For the price and location this Holiday Inn cannot be beat. The lobby was nicely done, the rooms were modern and fresh looking. The gentlemen and ladies manning the front desk were always very helpful. They make fresh coffee in the lobby every 1/2 hour, which was... more

The only reason I chose this hotel was because expedia was having a sale, so I wasn't expecting much. When we pulled into the parking lot we were pleasantly surprised by what we saw. The grounds were beautiful and the buildings had a nice island feel. The rooms were great and clean. The bathroom was a little small, but the... more

Overall nice hotel. Really, no frills, pretty standard room and accommodations, but very clean and comfortable. The pool is nice but not big enough if there are families with lots of kids. :) Nice layout at the pool, with multiple places to sit and relax. Beach is excellent. As others have mentioned, yes, Sanibel has a ton of seashells, making... more
