Hotels Near Southern Fresh Farms in Fort Myers

I wanted to love this place enough to give it 5 stars, but I just can’t. If it weren’t for the staff, I would have given it 1 star. Every staff member I encountered was TOP NOTCH. Maria in the kitchen and Samuel at the front desk were OUTSTANDING. We had several issues with our reservation; enough to make us decide to never stay here again. We were given the wrong room when we checked in. When we finally got the right room, there was a lot of hair all over the floor & sink in the bathroom. The sofa bed was broken, contributing to a miserable night’s sleep (the VERY LOUD AC/heating unit didn’t help either). There were no sheets on the sofa bed and when I inquired, I was handed a bed in a bag and told to make the bed myself. I reserved a room for 3 people so there was no reason for them to not make up the bed in advance. The only trash can in the entire suite was in the bathroom, there foolishly wasn’t one in or near the kitchenette area. You have to walk across the room to turn the light on when you enter the 2nd room. This was challenging in the dark. There’s a switch when you first walk in, but there was no light connected to it. We were glad we only planned to stay 1 night. I can’t believe we had to pay for this misery. We have stayed at many Holiday Inn Express locations and had expected the same quality we’ve had at other locations. Boy were we wrong!

The trip to the hotel was very relaxed and refreshing wood come back to again and a gain also the price was a very good one I will recommend you come to fort Myers and get a ride to the best places in yown

We stay at a lot of Hilton Garden Inns and this one, by far, is one of the nicest we've encountered. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The landscaping around the property (pool area and patio area by the restaurant) is absolutely beautiful. Everything is clean and well-maintained. One of my favorite ”likes” is the shampoo, lotion, and shower gel dispensers in the bathroom versus the small tubes you usually receive. This change is definitely economical for them and easy to use for us. Their breakfast menu is varied and generous in size and the fresh fruit and freshly baked breakfast breads are incredible and abundant in choices to make breakfast a real treat. Claudia is a delightful, hard-working server who really makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. The location is a plus as well, despite some road construction going on right now....don't let it deter you though, this place is top of the line!!!!!!!

We love this location right in the middle of downtown Fort Myers, Florida. We've stayed here a few times, including before the recent renovation. There is a an interesting variety of rooms with different layouts which we enjoyed. This time we chose a King room with balcony and city view. The balcony is small but big enough for 2 people and while it does have an ok ”city view,” it also looks down upon another roof below with all the air conditioners (something we do not like when paying extra for a ”view”). However, you can also see the river along with a bit of Patio DeLeon, in the middle of downtown Fort Myers. At night, is where the view shines with all the colorful lighting and usual music can be heard from live musicians. This room is fairly large for a boutique hotel with a larger than usual TV. However, the TV and dresser on which it sits are oddly placed in a corner at an angle, and pretty far from the bed detracting from the size of the screen. Programming is not in HD and also not set to the correct proportions (everything was vertically compressed) and the remote does not allow adjustments for this. It has a nice kitchenette area with a mini fridge but no microwave which we thought it should have given the price for the room and how inexpensive small microwaves cost (It may have been an option but it should already be there). Shower is very nice but every 30 seconds the water pressure dropped, then climbed back up - no biggie, just odd. Toilet paper seemed cheap for this type of hotel but all other items seemed to match this type of hotel. You have to pay $3 per bottle for the 2 bottles that are already in the room. It's like ”nickel and diming” for something as inexpensive as bottled water - like having no microwave, it takes away from the experience given the price of the room. Some light fixtures were not fully seated into the ceiling and like most hotels, the air vent in the bathroom had visible dust (I realize most people don't even look at these things, but I tend to notice it). The bed, although newer, was very firm, and not what we typically find in an upscale hotel. The walls are ”thin” allowing sounds from outside and adjacent rooms to be heard which is just an observation, not necessarily a negative. Front desk personnel were friendly, professional and helpful. Parking options are basically valet or one of 2 nearby parking garages. One parking garage is literally across the street which worked great for us at a lot less than using valet - pros and cons to each. The ice machine on our floor was not working which requires you to acquire ice on another floor (we were on the 7th floor - the top floor). There is a nice little rooftop bar which has a similar view of the city as our room but a little higher. The bar area has decent seating with a good mix of small couches, chairs and high top tables. We did not eat or have room service during this stay but it's available. Overall, it's a very nice, small hotel in an ideal, convenient location and we will definitely go back.

The hotel is very clean, the staff are all very helpful and friendly. The location is only 10 minutes from the beach and very close to Walmart or Aldi if you need something fast yet. The room, bed and bathroom were fresh and clean. Breakfast is included in the price and very rich. Every day there was fresh fruit extra here apples or bananas to take. The choice of breakfast is enough of pancakes, bagels, muffins, biscuits and sausage gravey, eggs either omelets, scrambled or boiled, fresh chinamon rolls, yoghurt, just enough. My conclusion to this hotel: I am glad to have found it and I'm glad to come back.

Love everything about this Resort but have to single out the staff. From check-in with Diane, to vehicle/luggage assistance from James, James, Dave and NELSON (!), to Sam and the best filet/service ever at Courtside Restaurant and to Chris for the great poolside conversation and delicious food choices. I know I’ve left out a few but everyone at the front desk was helpful and friendly. The resort is recovering from Ian and the staff did everything possible to provide a great stay.
