Rooms are dated and bathroom is small. However everything was very clean and the beds/pillows were very comfortable which cancelled out our extremley loud air conditioner. The staff was courteous. The pool was dated but clean. I thought this hotel was pricey for what it offered, but it was oceanfront which appealed to us. It was satisfactory, but I wouldn't... More

Our first time at HI Sanibel. It's all that other guests had stated as well as previous positive reviews. We were warmly welcomed by Peggy(front desk) and well taken care of continuously by her and all other employees. Peggy, we are sure, keeps clients wanting to return! More

Visited Sanibel in October. This was the cheapest motel on the island. We were very happy with are stay. The property was well maintained. The rooms were clean and good sized.

This hotel was wonderful. The food was always really good. The employees were very nice. This was my first time on Sanibel Island and the hotel helped make my experience enjoyable. I am originally from Wisconsin. Spending my time on the beach and in the pool were activities that I would not normally do, living in Wisconsin. Overall, the hotel... More

My second stay at the Holiday Inn Sanibel Resort, and it just keeps getting better. There are no negatives worth mentioning, but I could write a book on the things I liked. I can sum it up this way "I will return for the third time," which says it all! More

You know, I tell folks about Courtney's and I get that "Holiday Inn restaurant" thing about hotel food. This is a very good restaurant that just happens to be next to a hotel. Very good food prepared by an experienced chef! Thanks for your comments! Danny Adams, Director of Sales danny.adams@att.net More

I had read the long list of reviews before I went and my expectations were low.. Was visiting parents a short walk down the beach from the Holiday Inn, so was not too concerned. Bottom line is this. Do you want to be in a sealed air conditioned box when not on the beach, or if the weather is bad?... More

Thank you for your comments. Yes, we are replacing the carpet, but it has been a slow go due to the high occupancy. Simply put; doing the best we can. Glad you stayed with us, and I assure you we are addressing your concerns. Your comments do matter to us and thanks for taking the time to share. Danny Adams,... More

The Hotel was nice and clean, It was in a nice convevnient spot. It was connected to Sanibel beach and the beach was nice, warm, and calm. It was a nice beach that would be great for going on vacation to have a relaxing time. At night the beach was amazing because of the view it had of the moon... More
