The staff was attentive and very personable. The room was clean. The food and drinks on the patio were excellent, as well as the barmaids.
I felt more like family than a guest.

We were just across the street from Tin City where my friend and I did a lot of shopping and eating.

We were also within walking distance of the shopping area on Fifth. What magnificent boutiques they have. Sometthing for everyone's taste.

I certainly would go there again.

We recently spent 3 nights here and in spite of some of the negative comments that have been posted, we had a totally positive experience.
Our 13 yr old son required emergency surgery, and in assisting us to find immediate medical care, the staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. In fact, throughout our stay, there was absolutely nothing that remotely resembled the "attitude" that some reviewers have mentioned.

This is, as noted, a renovated Comfort Inn, and the upgrading of the decor and amenities is certainly unmistakable (modernized, if small, bathrooms with upscale toiletries, flat screen TV's, nice furnishings, etc). As the standard rooms were left the same size as the Comfort Inn configuration, they were a bit on the small size, although certainly more than adequate. The terrace/bar/restaurant area in the back was gorgeous, overlooking the bay and the upscale Bayfront complex. The pool area, while small, was very inviting and at no time were we bothered by the busy Rt 41 that bordered it.
Our only really negative comment pertains to the food. We did not experience the very mundane $10 breakfast buffet (the same sort of assortment that many hotels offer for free), but we did have lunch one day, and it was very overpriced ($80 for 4 of us) and at best, extraordinarily mediocre. My sons both had "open face steak sandwiches" ordered medium rare, and what they got were pieces of unidentifiable meat that were very very well done. Additionally, the promised french fries morphed into chips!

So...the question is "what makes a hotel a boutique hotel?" If it is, as noted above, upgraded furnishings and a flat screen TV, then Bayfront Inn on 5th certainly qualifies. In my travels, however, I have always felt that a boutique hotel combines a number of components. Perhaps this is much ado about nothing, as we really did enjoy our stay and would definitely return, and if the owners want to call this a "boutique hotel," well, so be it!

One more thing. The location was ideal. The property is 2 blocks from the 5th Ave shopping and dining district, and it was very easy to avail ourselves of this gorgeous area without having to take our car out.

While the room prices here are quite high for what were formerly cookie-cutter low end chain hotel rooms, given the high prices for lodging in and around Naples, we felt that the cost was not out of line.
We will definitely return when we visit Naples again.

I was here for a short visit to Naples. I actually stmbled upon this by accident. I was looking for the Inn on Fiflth. Upon realizing I was at the wrong hotel, I decided to stay anyways. There was a guy playing live music on the deck outside. Everyone looked like they were having fun. So I checked in. The rooms were very nice, and the tv was great! I went and ate at the tropical grill down stairs, and just enjoyed the entertainment. The crab cakes, and wings won me over. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling solo, they staff made me fee comfortable.

We recently returned from a weekend stay at the Bayfront Inn in Naples which sits directly on the bay and is a block east of the main shopping area of fifth avenue. After doing extensive research for a reasonable rate this hotel won out. It has been recently remodeled and the rooms are decorated tastefully in a contemporary style. Each room has a brand new large flat screen television. There is ample parking on site. The pool is located off of the bar deck and is a great place to relax and sunbathe. There is a full breakfast available for 10$ each morning with hot and cold selections. There is a nice eating deck directly on the bay which makes a lovely area to have a relaxing bite before starting the day. This deck area also provides outdoor seating for beverages from the bar any time of the day. Off of the lobby is a computer with internet access and also a selection of ice cream novelties and soft drinks to purchase. In the afternoon complimentary freshly baked cookies and flavored water is provided. It's a short walk west to the main shopping and restaurant area of 5th avenue so the location can't be beat. When considering location, cleanliness, parking availablilty and price this hotel gets an excellent rating. It's a great value compared to the competition and was a very nice place to stay. I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Naples.
