“Not a HoJo Fan!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2004

We stayed at the Howard Johnson in Ft. Myers Beach during April of this year while attending a wedding. We reserved two rooms through a timeshare program, and was listed as a high quality resort by the timeshare company. Needless to say, we were a bit taken aback by the quality of our rooms. We had two rooms that were originally a basement level apartment and were converted in motel rooms at some point. Our windows were tiny and gave us the view of the back of a building directly next to us. The rooms were pretty dank and musty. Surprisingly, on its billboard, the motel advertised that it was a "diamond" resort, whatever that means. It surely isn't a diamond in the rough. Its just rough. The location of the motel was great for shopping and eating, so really that was its only redeeming factor. We certainly didn't do much in the rooms other than sleep and bathe. Hopefully the management will try to live up to the "Quality Excellence Award" that was somehow bestowed upon them (according to their website) by the parent corporation because they certainly aren't doing it right now.

“DO NOT EVEN THINK OF COMING HERE!!!!”

I came here on business for one night expecting a nice comfortable bed to relax on when I get to the hotel.... HA!!! YEAH RIGHT! When I checked in, the lady at the registration office was sooooo rude!She is soo mean, I looked at her with a face. This hotel charged me $108.00 a night to stay in this dump in the summer. You have to pay for safe and phone even if you do not use it. Oh, and get this...... You do not check in a lobby, you check in a room that is the size of your restroom (or smaller). I got to the room and it STUNK!! The carpet was soo old and red, my remote on the television didn't work at all, The shampoo was all glopy, the television was as old as the one at grandmas house, the pool was the size of a large jazuzzi, the rooms had too much mold, employees slacking off not doing their job, the bathroom was yellow, everything was bad! I PAID $108.00 for that terrible room.. I am not that satisfied! The only thing good is that nobody stayed there! I could stay at the Radisson for that price... who knows maybe the HILTON... Here me, i dont reccomend this place, because. . . . .1. Its expensive, 2. Its rude employeesm, 3. Its looks that wanna make you puke! I dont reccomend it at all .... Im sorry for those who like it...

“knocked out by mold”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2003

Beware of the lowest priced rooms. We reserved a $58 standard room with a king. The room was extremely tiny. We barely got the luggage in the room. I didn't mind that. When we opened the door, we were nearly knocked over by the mold smell. Not just a lil damp, but overwhelming mold smell. The type that would make you sick after a few hours. On the windows there was 4-5 inches mold on the across the large window with mold visible on the caulk. They acted surprised. We were offered larger rooms at higher prices. They tried to find us other rooms at their partner facilities. Except for being rather deceptive about the problem with the room, the staff did try to help. We were let out of our reservation. We did see an effic. room and it did not smell as moldy, just a little damp. So maybe the more expensive rooms are better.

We stayed at Edgewater Inn and were very satisfied.

Reasonable RatesAMAZING VIEW in the Beach View roomsThe rooms were nothing special, but the location was perfect.It was right in the heart of Times Square so it was close to shopping and restaurants, and it was on the beach.Pool was nothing special but it was warm. Good Security.I would recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to be able to walk to the main places in Fort Myers beach.
