Candlewood Suites FORT MYERS-SANIBEL GATEWAY

Was very disappointed. Stayed last year and had a great time. This year, no housekeeping, poor pool set up, not very friendly.

I chose the Candlewood Suites because it saved me $200 over the La Quinta right off Summerlin that I normally stay at. After my stay I will continue to stay at the La Quinta, the $200 saved was not worth it. I say this because the staff at Candlewood was not helpful. I did not realize that housekeeping only came once a week. Quickly enough we ran out of clean towels (2 people staying in hotel) and the hotel says you can exchange for clean towels at the front desk. I take the towels down and there are none ready and I was told they would be delivered to my room. The towels never came. When I called down a new person told me they had towels but were busy so I needed to come down. I came down and the gentleman at the desk said he only had so many to spare. The original towels in our room were falling apart so it may be better if the hotel itself invests in new towels all together. There was never a sense of urgency by any staff member and most of the time one was not behind the counter. The room itself had everything necessary but I prefer the La Quinta all the way. The location is not bad. It is off of Summerlin and right next to a middle school. It's a short drive to Sanibel/Captiva and Cape Coral which are main places I went.

Room was not that clean, shower curtains were so dirty and stinky that I had to take them off and ask for new ones. The cleaning personal NeVeR cleaned behind beds or under bed, cause we found sleepers there someone's .....

Good The hotel was GREAT! .... very clean ...professional Bad Pool heated was built mostly in the shadow of the building

Chose hotel to explore Fort Myers and Naples for 2 days. Covenient and comfortable base for both. Staff were very helpful and loved the studio suites with all that was needed for self catering. Particularly liked "The Cupboard" where you could help yourself to more tea or coffee and creamer or buy food for simple meals. Free laundry and gym and pool if wished. Would definitely recommend and choose Candlewood Suites again.

The hotel was a short drive from Ft.Myers main drag,& the causways that enter Sanibel.For the pkg. price,(of hotel & car),you couldn't do better."Not complaining",but,their pool is outdoors,& the air conditioning is a little loud.'Still,unless you want to pay for a luxury room,where you won't be spending much time anyway,this joint's OK.

This hotel is located just a few minutes from two great beaches (Sannibel and Ft Myers Beach). We love to visit both beaches so it's idea for the price. Nice new rooms, big refrigerator, stove, microwave, free washer/dryers in the laundry room and if no one else is using them there's 3 or 4 washers and 3 or 4 dryers! The kids loved it. There's a wildlife pond in the back with two small alligators you can see (very safe! the kids liked it). Easy to get to anything you need groceries, pharmacy, food, beaches. VERY SAFE area tucked away in a business development. Very new! I would go there again without hesitation and I'm picky. I would give it a 5 if they had a hot tub and continental breakfast. That's the only two things missing on our stay. Excellent service/friendly workers!!!

This location was a bit tricky to find, tucked back off the highway, but the GPS found it great. Fantastic rooms, great desk help, and easy to get to both Sanibel and Fort Myers Beaches. Only 10 minutes from Minnesota Twins spring training facility and only 20 to the airport. Overall a great stay with no hassles!!!

Loved the location and everything about the hotel. The only thing we didn't love were the 2 double beds in the room instead of 2 queen size beds. Very helpful staff, superbly clean, enjoyed having kitchen utinsils in the room. Easy access to beaches. Would stay there again.

NICE HOTEL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MULTIPLE NIGHTS BUSINESS TRAVELERS. FRIENDLY STAFF. HOTEL IS FAIRLY NEW AND OUR SUITE HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. DESK,RECLINER, LOVELY LINENS AND TOWELS, FRIDGE, DW, 2 BURNERS, MICROWAVE. NICE CABINETS AND FICTURES. JUST PERFECT.WE ARRIVED WITH THE FERRY FROM KEY WEST AND JUST STAYED OVER NIGHT. DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO EXPLORE THE AREA, BUT IT WAS A NEW BUSINESS PARK.
