This was a perfect location between Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island. The plaza right next door had anything you may need. The pool was well maintained and stayed open until 10pm which we used nightly.

The hot tub was a little too hot would be the only criticism I would make. Besides that, it was a perfect hotel!

My husband and son stayed for my son’s 11th bday fishing trip. The location is very convenient to Sanibel for them to travel back and forth. A HUGE thank you to the front desk staff that gave my son a birthday present upon hearing of his big day. It was so thoughtful and appreciated. Little things like this mean so much to kids and I can’t thank her enough. I hope her bosses know how awesome their staff is!

I would’ve given this hotel 5 stars but the AC in our room was not functional. Also, the windows were so low-quality that simply opening the curtains raised the temp in the room over 10 degrees. Charging $4 for a 12 oz bottle of water that was left on the counter for kids to grab without reading the asinine charge wasn’t very cool either.

We stayed in a 2 bed suite. It was a nice layout and we liked the room. However it smelled like animal had possibly used bathroom on carpet. So the room did not smell very good. The hotel is animal friendly on all floors I was told by front desk staff.
Otherwise front desk folks are very nice and helpful. Great location to go over to Sanibel Island and beaches.

I was very pleased with my stay at this hotel. Everyone was very attentive and very informative. Daniela at the front desk had a few recommendations on things to do around here and she nailed it. Breakfast was superb! Decoration, cleanliness , personnel , freshness and flavor was very good. Hotel was also in a very convenient location close to things at Ft Myers as well as close to the island.

The front desk people were fantastic: Yvonne, Tori and Daniela. Breakfast was very good and the suite was very clean, spacious and had everything that one needed. In addition, the suite was an absolute bargain! 500 sf with a kitchen and separate bath and bedroom for half the sf at a neighboring hotel.

I can highly recommend this Residence Inn on Summerlin, Ft Myers/Sanibel Gateway.

The location is the best for this hotel. It's really close to the sanibel island bridge and you can get to lighthouse beach in less than 20 mins. You also have a publix right up front walking distance that you can use to restock your beach supplies or even buy anything for the room. You also have in the same plaza some food restaurants like chinese food and a sport bar names gator bites. You also have other classic restaurants a few minutes away in car like Wendy's, taco bell, McDonald's etc etc. The hotel itself was just Ok. The room was clean but there was a used soap in the bathroom but the remaining of the room was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good but if you have dietary restrictions it may be a bit difficult there is almost no gluten free options and very limited daisy free options as well. They do have scramble eggs and some sausage and fruit. Some of the rooms do have a fully stocked kitchen so you may be able to keep some backs ups there. Parking is payed separately about 5$ per night. Overall for price, location and amenities in the room it was a good price per night.

I really enjoyed our stay at the residence Inn. The staff were very nice and I enjoyed the free continental breakfast. I loved that the kitchen in the room had everything we needed. The pool was nice and the gym has a decent amount of equipment. It was great that they provided gallon bags at the icemaker. Although the room is not brand new and some areas could’ve been cleaned better. I was very happy with our stay.

Great breakfast variety which was nice given the length of stay. Rooms are clean enough but dated. Ice maker broken but hubby was handy and able to repair, along with toilet that wouldn’t flush. Dishwasher leaks all over floor when used. Laundry machines require coins for operation. This is an opportunity to improve the guest experience. . Housekeeping staff rude-any simple request such as for towels was met with a scowl and frustration. Front desk and breakfast staff always welcoming and personable. Really enjoyed the balcony-how great it would be to have this option in a king suite. I will say the air conditioner was incredibly loud-taking away from the enjoyment. Also many guests smoke on the balcony and the stench of both marijuana and cigarettes is disgusting not only on the balcony but the air handling system draws it into the room. Also-we noticed that there were persons entering the wooded area adjacent to the hotel regularly both on foot and on bikes. Also observed these persons bathing with the garden hose on the side of the gas station next door. It does appear that there are unhoused persons living in the woods. Whoever didn’t have any issues it ls helpful to be aware. Proximity of hotel to local beaches is definite plus. Suite was spacious and given location at end of hall quiet. Overall a good stay-with some updates the property has a lot of potential..

Great place to stay, close to Sanibel and Fort Myers without the price tag. Room was great with separate bedroom area, kitchen with full size fridge freezer and balcony. The best part was breakfast, the ladies who looked after breakfast are excellent, brought freshly baked cookies out each morning and took them round table to table. So much choice, scrambled eggs AND feta/spinach omelettes, sausage, all types of cereal and granola, waffles, muffins, scones, fresh fruit yogurt and more! The coffee was divine too...so hot and fresh. We will definitely start again!!!

The hotel was prettier than I expected. Warm welcome, warm cookies, warm smile. The check in process was a breeze. We had our suite ready, and it was great! 2 queen beds, small kitchen, eating area, living room, and balcony. All were top notch. The beds were sooo comfortable. The staff was very helpful, pleasant, and very accommodating. The buffet breakfast was amazing. Fresh made waffles, eggs, sausage, etc., everything you could want in a breakfast. I was here for a girl's weekend and we had a great time. Thank you to all the staff for a very pleasant stay. We will be back!!

The arrival was as planned. My Expedia reservation included a sofa bed which was clearly written on the reservation. At 430pm checkin I was given a suite which was suppose to have 2 queen beds and a sofa bed which is enough to sleep 5 persons. It was not until we returned to the suite at midnight that we tried opening the sofa bed, but it turned out to be a regular non sofa bed. By this time my kids were already in bed and settled in. I went to the front desk to inquire what had happened. The same rep that checked me in was still there. She acnowleged their mistake ref the sofa. She offered to move us from the 1st floor to a higher floor where there was a suite with sofa bed available. Being midnight, having settled in, and having kids on bed...I just requested a price adjustment or credit for their mistake. Rep stated she would make a note of it. Two days later durinv checkout I mentioned the issue again but nothing was done about it. There was no initiative on the hotel's part to address my request. This oversight by the hotel is something
that they cannot afford to get wrong. The main reason guests book a hotel is for sleep purposes. When it is clearly stated on the reservation that a sofa bed was reserved, it is crucial to get it right...period. if this is an issue between Expedia and the hotel (Marriott), the guest should not have the burden to prove who dropped the ball. Other than this cricial issue, our stay was pleasant.

The breakfast was good, mostly the same everyday with small changes. Sometimes they brought out warm cookies near the end of breakfast. Hot tub did not work our entire stay and guests there before us said it hadnt worked their entire stay either. I chose this hotel over others because of the hot tub so I wasnt happy about this. Pool was good, warm. Kids enjoyed it. My kids loved using the basketball court next to the pool. Other kids would come down and play with them too. Fitness room equipment didnt seem well maintained. Displays on treadmills didnt work. Room clean and good size for family of 5. Large fridge was appreciated too. I found the mattress uncomfortable and didnt sleep well. Hotel located in good area with a Publix and 7-Eleven right next to it, among other stores. Very close to Sanibel Island. Overall would likely stay again.

The housekeeping at this location would make me not want to stay again. We paid over $1600 for 6 nights, so I'd expect housekeeping to be up to par. They never once made the beds, didn't restock toilet paper in one of the bathrooms, would replace towels with new ones each time but left the dirty ones the entire week, conditioner bottle was empty the entire stay ect. The towels and bedding were also overkilled with bleach. Aside from the housekeeping problems, the staff were friendly and the breakfast had a good selection

Overall, this is a very well managed hotel. Staff takes pride in the hospitality they provide. Everyone wears a smile, no matter how their day may be going personally, from the front end to the maintenance staff. Very clean throughout. Only disappointment during our stay was that the hot tub was actually colder than the main pool. The pool was very warm, however. (Heater on hotub was either off, or broken, for our entire week long stay) The only two other things we could think of, that could improve this hotel experience for a variety of people's needs, would be to designate two rooms of each type, on each floor, as non-pet friendly, for the guests who require such an accomodation. (The entire hotel is pet friendly) Secondly, install a few more ice machines. Theres only one ice machine available for all 6 floors, is an elevator ride down to lobby, then a long walk back past the gym, then past the meeting room, then past the pool, to the guest laundry, where the only ice machine resides. Will give a nice nod however, to the dispenser with two sizes of ziplock bags above the ice machine. Nice touch. Also need to hang a net behind the basketball hoop, to keep all the balls available from going down into the wetland jungle behind the basket where nobody wants to go retrieve them from. Nice grill area, and firepit with ample seating around it. Publix market is right next door. Will definitely be returning to this hotel in future.

At check in we’d used 3rd party booking (because we had a $300 voucher). The desk rep commented “oh, you used 3rd party booking, that’s the glitch.” I had my Bonvoy membership #. It felt deragatory. Everytime we left in evenings to eat (or return) she was not at desk, or never looked up.) kind of felt looked down upon.

Blondish middle age Hispanic woman fabulous. Breakfast tater tots potatoes hard all 3 days, stale. No cranberry juice anymore? Ice water no longer fruit infused? Meat - sausage, sausage vegetables and turkey… no bacon any of our 3 days.
The staff in breakfast were good. As mentioned, one was fss as fabulous.
