“Quick Ft. Myers each getaway”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 20, 2013

The motel is centrally located, within walking distance of many restaurants, bars and the beach. There is a beautiful pier right down the road where we watched an amazing sunset. Location wise you couldn't ask for more. The price was also very good and the hotel was clean. Keep in mind that this is basically a motel and the accommodations are very very basic. Our room was freshly painted and had very cute beach decor. There was a small kitchen and fridge. This is a good spot for a few days, if your not too picky on amenities and if your looking for a place right in the heart of Ft. Myers beach. The best part of the stay is the restaurant/bar next door "Zushi Zushi". This place had a huge craft beer selection (tap & bottle) , its the only place in the beach worth drinking at :)

“"Tucked away under the palms"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 9, 2013

The first time we came to ft myers beach I saw this hotel as I was shopping. So I decided to book it for 2weeks. I was in a room for 3 nites and in the cottage for the rest of the time..i loved it! It is close to everything!! Beach, bars, restaraunts and shopping...so convenient!! The rooms were clean...full fridge, stovetop...the bathroom had a great shower! The girls at the front desk were always helpful and the housekeepers were wonderful...I have no complaints...except I wanted to stay longer :)

Room Tip: Try the cottage. It is awesome! On a canal...

“Not worth the money at all!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 7, 2013 via mobile

The service there is awful and the workers are not welcoming and seem like they don't care. Everytime you went to ask the front desk a question it felt like you were bothering them and in their way. You have a coffee pot in a room but no coffee. I felt like I was at a super 8 motel that cost the price of a nice hotel (The Lighthouse hotel).
