If you can't afford to lose it don't go there.
Cons:

I didn't like my bike being stolen from their property I did not like that the security cameras did not work when the police showed up I did not like that they didn't even apologize or tried to make an attempt or effort to make things right I would have been better off staying and paying more money at a place that had working security cameras in value their guests property.

Pros:

Mike was wonderful

Cons:

The manager was rude to me when I was trying to switch dates and just did not want to help me at all, the room was gross. The shower was loaded with mold, the room smelled like smoke the sink leaked all over the floor and when you took a shower wayer got everywhere it was just an all around terrible experience.

You could not pay me to stay here. And I refused to stay here. REFUND!!
Pros:

There was a canal on the outside of the property, I thought by condeming this building would be a good idea and perhaps even allowing it to fall in would clean it up. But I worried about it polluting the water and killing the wildlife,

Cons:

the place was nasty, old, smelled of old booze, and dead dog. And they did not allow animals. They said they would cancel our reservation. Booking.com said they contacted to cancel. There were drug addicts, people getting arrested across the street.

Just was overall uninviting, and we chose not to stay.
Pros:

The front desk gentleman was nice and was understanding when we said we didn’t want to stay.

Cons:

Seemed quite rundown. Found a hair in the sheets when we pulled back the top cover. Kitchenette area was dirty and had rusty cabinets.

I enjoyed my stay and I would love to go back
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff, the room was adequate, a nice view of the waterfront and a very clean pool.
They seem to be renovating the hotel. I would definitely go back.

Cons:

The furniture is is outdated and there is absolutely nothing in the the kitchen. No cookware, utensils, no tableware, no cutlery, no glassware and no tea towels. Front desk gave me a couple of mugs and a glass. We had to buy everything else.

A little gem in the heart of Cape Coral!
Pros:

What a cool place to stay! It's right in the heart of Cape Coral with so many restaurants and shops within walking distance..if you want to spend $500 a night on a hotel room, be my guest, but this awesome place was so affordable, you can use the saved money to go out and dine at the most beautiful restaurants that are very close..I couldn't believe that the room I stayed in had a little kitchenette set including an oven and a stove and a refrigerator and a microwave and my favorite a drip cup coffee maker! The rooms were very large and comfortable and there was TV and free internet..each room has a little outdoor patio, a great front desk staff and you can buy cold sodas for a very fair price in the front lobby too..the pool was overlooking a very nice canal, and very enjoyable at the end of the day when the sun is shining off of the canal as it goes down.. this will be my go-to place to stay whenever I have other business in Cape Coral!
