Neptune Inn

Stayed here for a week, it is clean, well cared for and boasts an outstanding location on Fort Myers Beach. The problem here is that they informed us that we informed them that we were looking for a suite capable of comfortably accommodating 4 adults. We got a suite but the rooms are separated by a partition and the place has terrible acoustics. The room was too small and the air conditioner was very loud. Move a chair and everyone is awakened. The bath was great, but the mini fridge struggled to keep beer or water cold, the pools are nice but are so over treated that my eyes were burning. For the price this place should also have a bar and restaurant, it doesn’t and the construction going on by the city in front of the place was a hassle as far as sound and traffic went. Also there was a rodent trap in the side entry way to the facility, yes rodents are a problem everywhere, but they could’ve been more discreet.
Had great weather (although the asshole State of Florida released toxins into the gulf from the sugar processing on lake Okechobee so beach swimming was an at your own risk deal… as I think about it, the $ 3500 price for 7 nights wasn’t worth it!

The location is great. Nothing beats beachfront Ft. Myers. We woke up to the sound of the waves and the beautiful view and had breakfast in the balcony with things we kept overnight in the appropriate sized mini kitchen. The room fit perfectly family of five.
The pool was a nice spot to stop going to or back from the beach. The pier was a a nice stroll down the beach, not too close to the busy area but not to far of a walk.
The room a/​c was not great and the positioning of the main room next to the entrance with the living room towards the back was unusual. And the room was a little stuffy, musty and would benefit from some carpet changing or general refreshing. For the price, I believe there are better choices, but not a bad experience.

THE LOCATION: The hotel is located directly on the beach and is a decent walk to plenty of dining options and night entertainment (e.g. the Lanai Kai, Times Square, etc.)
THE PERKS: Patrons of the hotel receive free in room WIFI in addition to a business center, complementary coffee & tea in the lobby, complementary beach towels and chairs. and free local papers daily. Note: the WIFI is very spotty and slow. You definitely don’t have to worry about everyone sitting around on their phones, tablets and computers here — a great place to actually do some bonding. The business center consists of two computers and printers.
The hotel does have 2 outdoor heated pools and each room is assigned one parking space. There are a handful of guest spaces and a parking lot across the street. There is a very small gift & snack shop in the lobby. No worries if you forgot to pack something — there is a nearby convenience store (½ block away). There is also a CVS and Publix on the island. The business center consists of one computer and printer in the lobby. There is a very small work out room (2 – 3 machines) and a coin-​operated laundry facility on site.
THE STAFF:
The staff was very friendly, professional and helpful when asked for directions or recommendations. Check in/​out was fairly easy and they are willing to do split payments on the reservation however you ask them to.
THE ROOMS:
There are a variety of options with the rooms — single beds, double beds, king suites private balconies, etc. I believe that all of the rooms offer the kitchenettes but I can only attest to the double queen suite. Only the bedroom area is carpeted. The living/​kitchen area offers an L-​shaped pulled out couch, tv, cabinets, dishes & pots, a dining table for 4, sink, microwave, coffee maker, mini fridge and a 2-​burner stove. Apparently the sofa sleeper is super uncomfortable so I wouldn’t recommend planning on using it unless you’re willing to get extra mattress cushion from the local Walmart or something.
It is a decent hotel considering beach access and location. It is worth the stay if you can find a good rate.

Super super clean, big fluffy towels, everything new & decorated beach style. Air Conditioner super COLD for the Florida heat. Two pools, outside showers, new beach & pool lounge chairs. The huge beach stretches forever & we saw a beautiful sunset. Free coffee in lobby, our room had fridge, micro, coffee pot, toaster & kitchen sink. All new. Table & 4 chairs, new large TV, well lit. Friendly staff. Would stay here for a month… Close to grocery store & many restaurants. Free parking always a plus:)) review on trip advisor for additional discount…

2^nd time my wife and I stayed here. It has everything we want and need. We like to grill out, so bbq grills are a huge plus. They also give out towels, chairs, and umbrellas for beach. Most other places charge $ 15 a day for those. Close to the beach, two pools, corn hole setup, friendly staff, its all good for us. I can admit cleaning could use some work, but parking is simple. You each get 1 spot to park. Its not super huge either, so it shouldn’t be too crowded. Again that fits our vacation style — quiet, relaxed, easy going.

The resort’s website photos do not do this place justice, just not. We enjoyed a beachfront room with a king bed, bath w a large shower and ample storage space, and a totally separate, real walled and doored front living room with a well-​stocked kitchenette (no oven but everything else). Quiet!!! Clean, and the ****closest**** to the beach of any resort on the island. Beach right down below our balcony. Literally down a staircase and a short ramp (part of the building) and we were on da beach! Also, $ 10 sunscreens there, same selection in town was $ 1 to $ 5 higher. Nice selection of snacks in their large lobby; hotel is right across the street from Heavenly Biscuits and Royal Scoop ice cream, a couple of blocks from La Tequila (yum). The pool closest to the beach is sparkling clean and warm enough for 8pm dips despite the air temp of 60 or so. Easy leisurely walks along the beach to Times Square and then southwards to Junkanoo and beyond. Priced right in line with other resorts for same room and fates, but better beach access and clientele. Very friendly staff, can’t wait to get back.

Stayed here one night in August. Availability in the area was limited, so it was way overpriced. It is just outside of where all the restaurants, etc are so you are not in the middle of all the crowds and have some peace and quiet if you want it, but still close enough to enjoy all of those things should you wish. Parking was a disaster. No availability and it was an issue whenever we came back we had to go to the front desk for them to let us know where we could park. The hotel is OK. Only amenities are pool, beach and tiny convenience store snack items by the front desk. However, housekeeping was not good. The room did not feel dirty, but we found 3 dead palmetto bugs in our room in the first few hours we were thre. Was quite disgusted. I realize this is Florida, and sometime we get those nasty critters, but 3! Clearly the rooms are not being cleaned properly. Advised the front desk, and all I received was an apology. Would not stay here again.

Stayed here for our 1^st time in FMB area.
Great location maybe 0.5 to 0.75 miles from Times Square, where all the action is.
Rooms are clean, our room has been upgraded and overlooked the ocean w/​private balcony (room 234) Not cheap but I’m guessing this is the going rate in season.
Our room had 2 doubles, so a queen would have been nicer, but it was a last minute thing :-)
On the upside we could actually sleep 6 ?
The only downsides were:
The public facilities /​restroom is pretty small, so most folks probably go back to their rooms ??
The HVAC system is still old school so it is pretty noisy when running…
2 pools — shuffleboard — Beach /​Pool towels included — beach chairs /​lounges and umbrellas included — cant really go wrong here.
And free good coffee all day long — another plus…
No restaurant or bar on premise though, but plenty within walking distance…
Also the wife called about a faulty hair dryer and the maintenance person was there in like 5 minutes — Pretty nice and quick response — Great…
Would definitely come back — also a little passed the traditional Spring Break area, so I found this to be a good thing :-)
All good (IMHO) — Enjoy…

We have stayed here 3 – 4 times a year, for the last 3 years. We live about 30 minutes away and just come for a getaway. Each room has a living room and a seperate bedroom! They are very roomy and clean. There are 2 heated pools, 2 grills in the courtyard, and staff is soooo friendly. Best part is when you wakeup after a night of to many cocktails, you can just stumble across the street for some heavenly biscuit.

Went for a short weekend. This Inn was very clean, the suite we stayed in had a king bed that was very comfortable. the suite was newly remodeled. Had a small refridgerator and micro wave. Coffe was free in the lobby. The Inn is located right on the beach within walking distance of most of the activities on the beach, two heated pools, and two gas grills, they were both clean and well kept.
Would recomend this palce to friends.

They just remodeled and we stayed in one of the newer remodeled units overlooking the ocean. It was great. The people who worked there were very helpful in hooking us up with resturants the locals dine at. I LOVED the pool they have right on the beach its AMAZING. The location is a few blocks from all the action but its nice if you want to relax a few nights then maybe walk down the beach for a night on the town!

Es gibt im Neptune Inn einen Nordflügel und einen Südflügel, in dem wir mehrere Tage blieben. Die Zimmer im Südflügel sind günstiger und auch einfacher /​älter. Die Zimmer sind ziemlich komplett ausgestattet aber schon etwas angenagt. Die Küche sieht echt archaisch aus, aber funktioniert. Die Nähe zum Meer lässt die Farbe abblättern und die Scharniere rosten. Das ist grenzwertig. Wem das nichts ausmacht, für den hat die Nähe zum Meer auch ein paar Vorteile: der Strand liegt direkt vor dem Zimmer! Toll! Die Leute im Hotel sind alle sehr nett und es gibt morgens immer Kaffee für umsonst. In Laufweite befindet sich sogar ein Supermarkt, ein“Grocery”. Für mich eine Empfehlung in Fort Myers Beach. Vor allem der Strand ist hier nah und noch relativ leer. Der Strand-​Rummel ist am Neptune Inn auch noch erträglich. Neuigkeiten 2012: Der Südflügel wurde inzwischen ebenfalls renoviert. Das hat sich auf die Qualität der Unterkunft und natürlich auch auf den Preis ausgewirkt. Insgesamt aber natürlich eine Aufwertung!
