Needed to go down to this location to bury my father and arrange settlement of his obligations. I stayed at this hotel from 18-21 March 2024.
My father left me with what few valuable he had, one of which was his collection of silver proof sets and silver dollars. Having to make short term arrangements and the duration of time that I was required to be there, I only took and over night bag/suite case.
Well he had a semi nice collection of coins that were in a locked box. I transferred those over to my suite case and was really concerned about being able to travel back with them due to weight limitations etc. In addition, he had two unopened bottles of Paris #1 Perfume. I left those purposely for the house keeping staff as I could not fit them in my luggage.
Wednesday night when I packed, I must have left 4 individual boxed uncirculated silver dollars. Once I returned home and realized I had left them there I contacted the hotel and let them know. Well no surprise, of course they said they were not in the room. But surprisingly, neither were the bottles of perfume that I purposely left.
According to one of the managers there (will omit his name for privacy purposes), there policy is that all left property is placed into lost and found. Well this is a "no brainer", however its not what you know, but what you can prove.
The coins had more sentimental value then they were worth, but if you are traveling its nice to know that where ever you are staying would be safe and limit the amount of criminal activity on there staff. In todays times with the amount of illegals crossing the border, I would venture that this would be an excellent place for ICE to visit.
If you are that disparate to stay there please look after your belongings and DO NOT leave anything valuable in the room. Housekeeping as far as I am concern are a bunch of thieves. Who ever cleaned room 320 the morning of the 21st should be ashamed of themselves. I would be compelled to believe that the items were not in there had they at least turned in the perfume. Obviously they had no idea that I had left the perfume for them.
This particular hotel is an LLC and I tried to find what other hotels they own/operated. Never will stay there again.
I even filed a police report for what it was worth.
Safety: Lock anything of value in your car DO NOT Leave in room. Triple check before you leave/checkout, you WILL NOT get it back and the managerial staff are complacent with employees of this quality
Noteworthy details: Lock all valuables in your car. Leave NOTHING of value in the room house keeping staff are a bunch of thieves particularly the staff member who cleaned room 320 the morning of the 21st of March 2024

Came down to Fort Myers for a work trip. They booked me this hotel.. I had to check out early and go elsewhere. The hotel has homeless people around their parking lots. The rooms were outdated. Small TV, old furniture, and noisy bed. People were yelling on the 3rd floor basically from midnight up until 5am. There was throw up on the hallway floor as well. The wifi was horrible for my work laptop. Only upside was the 2 employees I dealt with were super nice.
