I had a great stay at the hotel, thanks to its fantastic location and the friendly staff. The rooms were updated and clean, making for a comfortable experience. However, I did notice that the service at check-in could have been better, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it was a comfortable place to relax with good amenities and access to the beach.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is great, with easy access to shopping and dining, but I was really disappointed with the room situation. The service was a combination of friendly and frustrating, and the dining could use some improvement as well. Overall, it’s not the best value for the price I paid.

The room I got wasn't beachfront as advertised, and it felt a bit subpar for the $400 a night price. It was clean, but not what I expected.

I had a decent stay, but there were a few things that could use improvement. The rooms felt outdated and didn’t quite meet my expectations, despite being close to the pool and beach. The staff was friendly and helpful, which certainly made my experience better. The dining service left a bit to be desired, and while the location was great, the value for money didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

The staff was incredibly friendly and always eager to help, making the experience more enjoyable. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired. Overall, it was a decent value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, located right on the beach and just a short drive from Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. The rooms were clean and had a comfy mattress, but I felt the price tag was a bit high for the overall experience. The staff was friendly and eager to help, and the pool area was nice and relaxing. However, the dining options left something to be desired, as breakfast was quite limited for my taste.
