The Banyan Hotel Fort Myers, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The room was clean and had a great view of a large banyan tree. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The rooftop with a bar, pool and night lighting made for a wonderful experience. Our only concern was the water pressure and temperature in the shower. Not so great.

Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
I do not know why they don’t have a basic microwave in every room! Also the water pressure in our room was horrible i froze in the shower! No chairs on Wednesday for the pool but i guess they have senior citizen day! I won’t stay here again! Also you must pay for the 35 valet parking! I hate places ...
