• Location, value.
• Breakfast buffet was weak.

“The location is great, as it's convenient to Sanibel and far cheaper than Sanibel accommodations. Front desk staff was great. The pool was great. The buffet and buffet staff was less than desirable. We would have probably really liked this hotel if we had asked for a room that wasn't right next to the pool. It was fine during the week, but got very noisy and busy during the weekend. All in all, a great value and a nice enough hotel.”

• Excellent Service, Friendly staff, Great Breakfast!

“Not the Hilton, but this hotel is clean and conveniently located between Ft. Meyers Beach and Sanibel Island. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is great. Non-smoking really is non-smoking. We saw a lot of families taking advantage of the pool and hot tub, but we were so busy, we missed out! No computer, but wireless. God Bless!”

• I liked the newly renovated rooms and towels/linens. Free breakfast was good.
• Could use some fresh fruit or jams/jelly in the breakfast buffet. Nothing w/in walking distance.

“I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms and service provided by the staff. The La Quinta has a nice pool area - very large pool and plenty of deck chairs. This hotel is within 5 mins of Ft Myers Beach. I would be happy to win this hotel again.”

• Newly renovated/decorated, large bathroom, heated pool.
• Noise through walls, noisy refrigerator.

“The extended full breakfasts for beachgoers were nice. Rooms were smartly decorated with spacious baths. Comfortable king bed. Microwave and fridge. Proximity to Sanibel Island can't be beat (other than being ON it)! Grocery store and outlet mall super close. Large heated pool and Jacuzzi in Courtyard setting.”

• The breakfast exceeded expectations.
• The internet was not working in the rooms and it made it difficult to conduct needed business.

“Overall the hotel was not too bad. The staff was not the friendliest. The hotel did not regularly replace needed amenity items such as shampoo and toilet paper. They also did not have hypo-allergenic pillows available. They only had feather pillows. This was a business trip, but I was also traveling with family.”

• The location in proximity to Sanibel.
• Dead bugs on the walls and mosquitoes in the room.

“Cheap deco, breakfast didn't have on healthy thing on the buffet and the cleaning staff needs to do more through job.”

• The hotel was very nice and clean.
• The cleaning ladies entered our room before check out, she threw away our food that was in our refrigerator.

“The hotel itself was very nice but I did not like when the cleaning lady entered our room before check out and threw out food that we had bought and stored in the fridge. We felt as though the desk clerk was brushing us off and we also witnessed another cleaning lady taking alcohol from another room and putting it in her own car. This put a damper on our stay but other than that everything else was nice.”

• Friendly staff, nice pool.
• Poor breakfast using Styrofoam plates/bowls, dirty sheets on pull-out bed.

“The breakfast items were abundant, but lacked fruit and healthier choices. Rooms were pleasant enough, as they are recently renovated.”

• Clean and convenient.
• The first night the hotel phone system did not work and my husband could not call me at my room.

“This is a suitable place to stay for it's convenience to Shell Point retirement community. I chose this because I could smoke at this facility.”

• The Continental breakfast was a wonderful way to start the day.
• The shower stalls were very awkward, narrow and no place to secure the soap or shampoo bottles.

“The La Quinta Hotel and Inn has a wonderful scenic poolside area and we were fortunate that our room overlooked this area. The complimentary breakfast included country gravy with biscuits, fresh muffins and pastries and the ability to make your own waffles, fruits, cereals and hard boiled eggs. A wonderful way to start the day. The rooms were pleasantly decorated and the bathroom had plenty of counter space to dry out seashells. It was nice that there was a coffee maker in the room but coffee was always available in the hotel lobby. The location is great since it is about 3 miles from the Sanibel Island bridge and about 7-8 miles from Ft. Myers Beach. There is a beach just about a mile down from the hotel. It is very shallow with plenty of oyster shells but with a spectacular view of sunsets over the Sanibel Island Bridge. We had a very nice stay!”

• Good staff, clean rooms, very accommodating.
• 3-15-08 given a handicap room, which was not handicap friendly.

“The hotel was very nice, good pool area, and fine, courteous personnel. The rooms were clean, but needed better chairs for relaxing. The vending areas could be improved for after-hours snacking.”

• Fun, modern new decor, excellent location for visiting Sanibel without paying for Sanibel.
• Dog or animal smell on couch!

“The hotel is decorated in a modern, fun decor. There is a bar in the lobby and a nice pool outside. There are outside hallways. Our first room smelled terrible. Upon "sniffing," we determined that the couch had a foul odor! Someone's pet had probably slept there! We asked for a different room and were satisfied with the second room. They suggested not getting a first floor room, as people with pets usually request those. The breakfast was average for this type of hotel.”

• Great pool, completely renovated facilities, beautiful rooms, close to Sanibel Island.
• Crowded breakfast area.

“Hotel facilities looked brand new and modern, great salt-water pool and spa, spacious and clean rooms and bathrooms. Located very close to Sanibel Island and Fort Myers Beach, but a little out of the way of Downtown Fort Myers. We had to drive a bit to find places to eat.”

• The staff was awesome! The pool was gorgeous and the breakfast was super!
• I liked everything about this hotel. My stay was excellent.

“The hotel staff went out of their way from the moment of our arrival to ensure that we had everything we needed. It was our first time in Ft. Myers and they gave us helpful information about what was going on and how to get there. Everyone was so friendly. The hotel was neat, well-decorated and well maintained. I can't say enough about the excellent way we were treated at this hotel. I've traveled a lot and this hotel stands out as one of the better values and travel experiences I've had. I'll definitely use them again and recommend them.”

• In a room with a king size bed they put in a couch where other bed might be so it seems like more than just a bedroom.
• No complaints.

“This hotel is very user friendly, the staff is quite responsive to requests. They had put us in a room on the outside of the hotel and I requested a court yard room which they did automatically not making me feel like I was asking for a special favor. The interior decoration of the hotel rooms makes you feel good. It is bright, well decorated and clean. Their continental breakfast is excellent including plenty of fresh fruits and baked goods.”
