Staff is very friendly and gave us a room upgrade. Rooms are very clean with new modern coastal type furniture. Rooms have Cable tv with lots of channel options, medium size refrigerator/freezer, and microwave. Very reasonable priced rooms to be close to all the Fort Myers beach action. The pool is heated and has early morning shady areas in the pool. Several restaurants within walking distance. Most have live music almost every night.
