Not bad for a last minute $100 room.

For $100, you get what you pay for. We were passing through and needed a last minute hotel. The room was very dated, but clean. There were broken blinds and no curtains, and a light right by the window, so it was very bright in the room all night. The pull out bed had a very worn out mattress, which was super uncomfortable, even for young kids. However, the room was clean and located just across the street from the gulf. The staff was friendly. The area was fun, though it was predominantly young adults. Overall, we can’t complain for a last minute $100 room.

This felt like a bait and switch. We had zero kitchen, unlike all the photos, we had optional maid service and when requested their entire non english speaking staff, didnt understant to please sweep the copious sand accumulation. And change the sheets. 8 nights 1 set of sheets and we toweled out the sand and wore socks in 92F weather. The coffeemaker was literally a 9.99 walmart the switch broke on day 3 of 8. We took photos and will upload if requested. The food across the street on the 6th floor was the best part of the trip. Staff renting umbrella and chair do NOT work for Lani Kai and guests pay full rates. Yep, $27 a day to lay in the sand in front of your hotel. Oh and they control when the umbrella goes up or down to wind. Hit me in the closing on my neck which has a 14” steel plate on my spine. My cane was with me. Disabled guests are not accomodated. Skip this property, and Fort Myers. Jimmy Buffett cant save this place.

Nice place to stay that allowed the same experience as the hotel with the added benefit of having a kitchen. Normal wear and tear of the room. Felt very secure and the staff was on top of making sure you had a great experience.
