Baymont by Wyndham Fort Myers Central
We read that the pool was heated and it wasn't, there was light coming from under the door that goes outside, the window was cracked and had a quarter inch gap on one side going straight outside and the room was real damp and smelly. With all that, the staff was very friendly and helpful

The Perry Hotel Naples
Spectacular spot. New hotel hits all the right notes. Service was superb. The room was immaculate and had a tremendous view. The first level pool is huge. I swam laps every day. The showstopper though is the rooftop pool and bar. I watched the Masters in splendor with views east and west. Again service ...
