I arrived really late at night on Friday 10/3 (into Saturday) and had a great interaction with the woman working. Unfortunately, the room had a very strong mildew smell. When I went back down to request another room, she assisted me with finding an alternative room. This took some time because it seems that all of the rooms with carpet have the same mildew smell. I was given a first-floor room that has laminate flooring and did not smell. Mind you, it is the middle of the night, and she gladly helped me until I found a room that I could stay in. I want her to receive kudos because most people wouldn't have taken as much time as she did to ensure that I was comfortable in the room that I was going to stay in. The room was well worth the price, yes there is some wear and tear but nothing excessive like some of the previous reviews. I really enjoyed the LED mirror in the bathroom and the back lighting on the bed as it made the room feel cozy. The location was perfect and only a short 10-minute lyft to the beach. My only suggestion for the hotel would be to remove the carpeting as the smell is very strong. It might be worth it to place laminate flooring on all levels.

Still putting it back together from the hurricane. Rooms were clean and very nice. Bed was very high but still comfortable. Pool is a saltwater pool with lanes if your a swimmer. Breakfast was good changed a little on the different days as far as the eggs. Still nice little breakfast to start the day. Close and somewhat the center point between Sanibel Island and Ft. Meyers beach. Walmart and Publix grocery are close by.

My son and I stayed there recently for 2 nights. It’s a simple hotel, but room was very clean, towels changed daily, which is what we were looking for. Very quiet location, close distance to Fort Myers Beach. Beds were comfortable which we appreciated after our 2 busy days. Breakfast offered plenty for everyone. Definitely recommend this hotel.

My room smelled like mildew. No shower pressure or cold water. Small towels. Other than that, I can't say enough good things about this place. The pool is big, warm and clean. The staff are professional and nice. The grounds are very clean, the rooms are very nice looking. Free WIFI, breakfast and good TV to watch. A little off the beaten path but right on the bus line for me. It checked all the boxes. All in all, I plan on returning to La Quinta Inn & Suites again!

Thank you’ll Quinta for taking a last minute reservation! Marriott courtyard sold our room and we were told to find alternative accommodations when we tried to check in. After calling hotels for an hour, thankfully you all had a room and happily checked us in. Thank you and will keep your location in mind for future trips. Clean room, nice pool and very helpful staff. Would recommend this location

I had a great stay at the hotel with my boyfriend and our two dogs! The room was clean and had been recently renovated, breakfast was good and service was excellent. The location is great to enjoy Sanibel Island, it’s a short and beautiful drive there. I’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I just spent 3 nights here. The room was clean, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was huge! Plenty of hot water and great water pressure. We were on the second floor so neighbors all around and didn’t hear a thing from them. The pool area is clean and huge! Continental breakfast was great. They had a waffle maker, eggs, sausage patties, cereal, oatmeal, muffins, fruit and yogurt. Coffee, tea , hot chocolate and juice. The room had a dehumidifier and as long as it was running the room was not musty (Florida humidity). The only suggestion I have is more lighting in the rooms. They were very dimly lit. I would definitely recommend and stay again. The location was perfect!

The free breakfast includes options such as eggs, sausage, fruit juice, self-pour fresh made waffles with honey or syrup (sugar free is also an option), fruits, cereal, bagels, sweet breads, and more. The pool was great I just wasn't very happy with the music playing by the spa pool. I couldn't relax. The pool towels are also small and wouldn't wrap around my waist. The AC was not central but was still very cool. Overall I loved it! I plan to come back because I feel it is a great bargain!
