Easy to find and accessible. Most of the parking is to the back of the building though. Your gate pass allows you to exit and enter through a back door, but it has a very heavy gate.

Good hotel

This hotel was located mid-way between the beach and Fort Myers, which is exactly what we wanted. We had to change rooms, as the first room had a horrible smell, like someone was cooking in the room. It smelled up the entire hallway, too. The young lady at the front desk was very nice about getting us into another room right away. She also helped us by suggesting restaurants close by. Our room was clean, with a comfortable bed.

This was a very comfortable quiet and great place to stay. The staff was friendly and quick to get us in and out of the rooms. Rooms were modern and clean and the beds were fabulous to sleep in. We spent one night on our way to Key West and one night on the way home, 8 women in a group. Everyone couldn’t wait to get back to this lovely property. Thank you for making our stay a treat!
