Review Highlights

Pros:
Close to downtown / convenient location
Some rooms recently renovated (nice bathrooms)
Bilingual / attentive staff noted by some guests
Cons:
Unannounced renovations causing dust, noise and mess
Breakfast/restaurant closed; $6 voucher inadequate
Towel pre-order policy and room assignment / billing issues

Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reviews report heavy dust and dirt due to ongoing, unannounced renovations; guests describe hallways and rooms as dirty and messy.
Service
9.5
Mixed reports: some operational issues (towel pre-order policy, room assignment problems, blame on Booking) and a theft incident, but other guests note helpful, bilingual staff and flexibility — overall service effort appears strong despite execution problems.
Location
10
Consistently praised as close to downtown/centre (15 min walk), convenient for guests — location is a clear strength in multiple reviews.
Room Quality
9.5
Reviews mention some freshly renovated bathrooms and guests who 'loved' the remodeled rooms; however, renovation work affected other areas. Renovated rooms rated very highly by those who received them.
Amenities
7.5
Basic amenities exist (pool, voucher breakfast option), but the on-site restaurant was closed and systems (towel reservation policy) caused frustration; amenities are present but limited during renovation.
Value for Money
6
Several guests felt the stay was not worth the price — charged for breakfast that wasn’t available and perceived overcharging for room types; value is below average.
Food and Beverage
4.2
Frequent complaints: advertised breakfast unavailable, replaced by a small $6 voucher for an off-site option (Dunkin), which guests felt did not match the expected hotel breakfast.
Overall Experience
6.4
Overall stays were negatively impacted by unexpected renovation, noise, dust and service miscues; some guests enjoyed specific aspects (location, renovated rooms), but the general experience was disappointing for many.

Eine Katastrophe!!!
Pros:

überhaupt nichts,das Hotel wird gerade umgebaut,davon war bei der Buchung überhaupt keine Rede,überall ist der Schmutz zu sehen,der Frühstücksraum ist zur Zeit geschlossen,um zu Frühstücken muss man sich zum Restaurant Dunkin in der Nähe des Hotels begeben und es stehen einem nur 6 Dollar zur Verfügung so dass man für das Frühstück am Ende noch dazu zahlt obwohl offiziell im Hotelpreis inbegriffen!Es ist wirklich eine Schande wie Booking.com mit seinen langjährigen Kunden hier umgeht.

Cons:

alles,das Hotel ist eine einzige Zumutung und auf keinen Fall zu empfehlen!

Ongoing renovation not communicated, missing services
Cons:

The hotel is undergoing renovation which was not communicated via booking com in advance. One booked room category for disabled was not available despite confirmed. The free breakfast was replaced with a 6$ voucher for Dunkin which does not match the hotel breakfast. Overall not satisfied.

Not good
Pros:

Not much!! They were doing renovations on the 3rd floor. Very dusty and dirty. Very loud. Restaurant was closed

Cons:

No room service. We were told if we needed room service we needed to ask the night before. Rugs were rolled up and placed throughout the hallways.

Pros:

From the start, we checked into Holiday Inn in fort. Myers, and it's that complementary breakfast and swimming pool. Nice rooms, okay, check-in no restaurant. Then, we gotta find somewhere to have breakfast. Because you charged us for breakfast. That comes with our rooms and there was no restaurant. Also I had to reserve towels. The night before, so I could get clean towels in the morning, which was totally ridiculous. They told me I'd check in. I should have made a reservation for towels. I never heard never heard of such a thing. I probably won't ever stay here again. Because it was that ridiculous for the price. I believe that totally not worth a hundred something dollars I paid. Have a nice day, ro

Cons:

I didn't like the whole stay

Not good
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The whole property was being renovated, and I was not informed of this before I stayed there, so there was a lot of dust. It was dirty. It was messy everywhere.

Very poor
Pros:

When booking my stay I wasn't informed that when you dont have a restaurant but I git free breakfast with my stay then when I called the front desk for some towels the gentleman told me I had to pre order towels I hadn't even booking my stay and didn't even expect to stay another night in this hotel . I worked for Hilton for 20 yrs and I would never treat my guests like they were to me I think a refund for Sunday night is in deed a better way to keep guests coming back to your hotel my name is Debra Minella I was in room 225 also I ordered some food and it got stolen from my door 75.00 in grocery 😅 very sad

Cons:

The pool
