It started at the front desk where the innkeeper was more interested in watching the television then helping us. We bought two rooms, both these rooms were damp and had a slight mildew smell. The beds are lumpy yet hard and you are provided three pillows. If by chance you wanted another pillow to sleep in a more elevated position, don't bother asking as you will be interrupting the innkeepers night and your request will be laughed at. During the night one of our rooms was invaded by mosquitos which came through a crack in the window, my son had no less then 15 stings all over his arms and face. If I could leave zero stars I would, I will not return.
Great if you just need a bed to sleep in for the night. Clean room/sheets, shower needs updating.
This hotel has made several improvements since my last visit, but they throw it all away and then some by refusing to offer any cable news channel other than FOX News. They don't have CNN, let alone MSNBC.
Just to make sure it wasn't an oversight or accidental, I asked three different employees behind the counter. They were all immediately aware that FOX News was available in the rooms but CNN was not.
That is pure fear. I took the channel placard and showed it to a manager at another hotel just yards away. He couldn't stop laughing. He said a channel lineup like that is absolutely intentional, and you have to go out of your way to create it. There are 8 specialized sports channels and several movie channels including Showtime, but only one news channel.
I have noted this trend elsewhere recently. Right wing hotel management seems to think it is clever to present their bias only, and pretend any other perspective doesn't exist. That is comically weak. If you are confident in your viewpoint then you want all sides available with certainty your side will win the presentation. I have yet to see one hotel that offers CNN and/or MSNBC but not FOX News.
Otherwise this hotel is not bad, and certainly well above average for this chain. The hallways are clean and look recently painted and remodeled. Internet is quick connect and fast enough. All rooms have a small refrigerator and a microwave. That is always appreciated. Location is good, very close to I-75 but not tight enough for highway noise.
I hope the management of this hotel use this review as hint that fear never impresses anyone. You aren't making CNN look bad. You make yourself look pathetically weak.
Older motel with popcorn ceilings. No elevator to second floor. No pool or exercise room. Dated decor but fairly well maintained and clean. Some power outlets worn with intermittent connections. Some lobby ceiling water stains from hurricane Irma. Smaller rooms than avg motel, but beds/pillows comfortable and a safe provided for valuables. Quiet location. WiFi worked well. Breakfast very basic - coffee, juice, cereal, pastry, fruit. Staff very helpful and friendly. For the price a decent value for just a quiet night's sleep and shower. Not for a vacation stay or luxury experience.
Note policy allows a higher limit on credit vs debit cards because the person can readily withdraw all funds from the checking account backing up that debit card. Auto rental companies have a similar policy.
Good place to rest. Reasonable$ light breakfast daily
Reserved room via priceline. Showed up at hotel and lady at front desk would not let me use my debit card with visa logo. She said they only take major credit cards as they have a higher limit then debit cards. I said that all depends on how much money is in your checking account. If I have 10k in my checking and a 2k credit card, my debit card has the higher limit. She still wanted to argue so I left
This place is very clean we working this hurricane do wish there was a better weekly rate kiijs like we will be here sumtimes
I'm staying here at the Travelodge after hurricane Irma in Fort Myers, Fl, just off I-75. Though it took longer for them to get back open because of the storm, the staff has been working hard to get everything back to normal. I have been very pleased, considering what everyone has gone through.
Keep up the good work.
You will need Jesus Christ life to stay at this place one step up from homeless shelter. Great mold smell meets you in the lobby! Pray for this place a rehab is Ready!
Arrived at 1am this morning. The receptionist was so rude my 5 year old Grand daughter thought she was the wicked witch! I wish I would have read the reviews before booked this place. Weird bugs on the walls!! The "witch" told us breakfast was from 9 to 11am. It's from 6 to 9 so we missed breakfast!
No the best clean room. It smell like cigarette in no smoke room. Service is fine, breakfast is good. Just a night stay will work.
I will list a multitude of complaints and reasons why you should not stay at this hotel.
1) The reception lady was not friendly and not very helpful.
2) The hotel is outdated and smells weird.
3) The lighting (or lack there of) either doesn't work or is extremely dim.
4) No plugs stay plugged in when you plug them into the outlets (almost all of them)
5) The wifi is spotty
6) The bathroom is small and not taken care of. The light fixture is falling off the wall, There is a hole in the shower door, the towel rack falls apart when using it, and lastly the ceiling of the shower is moldy
7) The curtains don't block out enough light.
8) The shuttle to the airport (Fort Myers) is $15 a room so it is cheaper to just take a cab or use a ride sharing app.
Overall this hotel was a nightmare to stay at and I highly recommend you avoid staying here until they fix it.
Front desk services terrible attention of the staff that works in check in an employee of name Maria, has no courtesy or kindness any without education. Need to change that staff or train them to know how to work with the public and give better service. I do not recommend that Hotel.
After not being able to stay at the Quality Suites ( they don't except locals ) we booked across the street at the Travel Lodge. It was very nice. It was clean and neat. The bed was very comfortable. We will be staying again for New Years!!!
