Hotels near Garden Center at The Home Depot, Fort Myers

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.

First I will say, staff was great! Unfortunately I killed 2 cockroaches crawling on my personal items.. when we first arrived our first room the toilet was broken didn’t flush the kind maintenance guy came to fix it. It worked as he fixed it then it didn’t work.. The bathroom had patch work and dirt ceilings. My bottom of my feet were black from the carpets.. have to say! Try not to judge others but clearly this hotel is used for druggies : crackhead hideouts.. there’s been sketchy people in and out. all the cars parked are runned down. the manager we had a talk with today. he’s refunding us a day or two of $ for what all had happened. He clearly just wanted to get the issue out of the way but if you’re managing it you must take care of all properties one would think! No breakfast / coffee isn’t worth it. He said we should’ve have complained sooner WE DID nobody was there well him to complain too.. Gigi was amazing! only one who helped us get to the bottom of things.. I’d spend the extra $100 on a more cleaner beautiful hotel.. also/ the first room we was in looked like it had poop stains on it- and stains on the bed… wonder where the roaches came from. No bedbugs or other bugs. AND last thing we switched rooms last Wednesday and complained this morning Monday morning …. Our room wasn’t cleaned by housekeeping we had to beg tell the manager to have our room cleaned…. 2 stars…. Pool is very clean-

Very good value for money

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 had stayed at this hotel a few years ago when visiting relatives in Florida. We booked it for a couple of days as we are moving our dad to nursing care on Cape Coral. All we wanted was a good nights sleep in a clean room. This hotel has been updated so much since we were here before. My husband was laughing at how excited I was to see Dove Body Lotion in the bath room, just coming from the Bahamas, my skins was so dry…they have Kerigs for coffee and tea in the room, new carpeting, walls and ceilings newly painted and the beds are so comfy. Just what we need for this trip. There was some music playing next door, but we had a small balcony to sit on a have a cup of tea before bed and listen to the tunes, they stopped at 9, so not any issues with that at all. We have an early start tomorrow so glad they have breakfast in the lobby. I would highly recommend this hotel to travelers. We stayed in room 320 today 3/30 and will stay on 3/31 and head home on Saturday.

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.
