When a friend suggested this Hampton-Inn ... I replied a flat out "NO!", because I like the luxury and uber cleanliness (plus amenities) of really nice hotels, such as the Ritz-Carlton, Helmsley Hotels, and so on.

I was totally blown away ... for less that half the typical cost, this inexpensive Hampton Inn, makes all the giants look as though the are running in S L O W motion!

Their recommendations are spot-on. Our group spent the whole weekend at the hotel, pool and lounge areas, only leaving the property for restaurants. This hotel and its staff deserve 10 stars!

Wow. I have always looked up to those brands and to have our team and hotel compared to them is magnificent. During my 25 years in this business I have preached their motto “Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen.” Thank you for this great review and not keeping it a secret. Our key is we have a great team of professionals than care for our guests and respect each other. Thank you for staying with us and we hope that you venture back to Fort Myers and our Hotel very soon.
