Sea Shell Motel

Good motel. Location is fantastic, 2 blocks from Fifth Avenue South and 8 blocks (15 mins) from the beach! Staff was super attentive and accommodating. Baths have been remodeled. Direct TV + showtime was a nice touch. Pool is nice and heated in winter! Good patio area to sit and enjoy free wifi. Beds are comfortable. There are some details that need to be improved: doors are a bit old and it’s hard to lock them but they are working on the renovations. Wi-​fi is 2.4 and so it is slow. Also some rooms don’t get good reception. There is no 24 hour desk and no phones in the rooms. Each room has a decent size mini fridge and microwave, and there is a CVS walking distance which is perfect.

Im schönen Naples ist es nicht einfach, eine preiswerte Unterkunft zu finden. Wir sind eher aus einem Notfall heraus im Sea Shell Motel gelandet und wollten am nächsten Tag gleich weiter, sind dann aber fast eine Woche geblieben. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist toll, das Zimmer recht groß, sauberes Bad, Kühlschrank, Klimaanlage, Ventilator, Wifi, alles was man braucht. Besonders nett find ich dass man auch nett draußen vor seinem Zimmer sitzen kann. Preislich gesehen kommt man für den teuren Ort richtig günstig weg.
Wer keinen großen Luxus braucht und außerdem in Gehhweite zum Strand wohnen möchte ist hier richtig aufgehoben.

Live in couple run the place. No security. Just a small motel. I am glad it is there. The room was good. The location is good. Direct TV was nice. The security is not good. There was a boozy group that hung out at the pool making noise and being really loud while I was there. I stayed and slept well, though-​otherwise I would have called the police. There is no 24 hour service desk here.
There are certain features to this hotel I like but Naples is just not the place you expect to have your short vacation experience ruined by out of control loud and rude people. That is too bad because the pool is great and it would not have been so bad for me had there not been the rude clientele and loosely controlled atmosphere. This place has plusses no doubt but it is what it is.
I think you get more security and better overnight service for just slightly more money at The Best Western and Ramada Inn down the road. I would stay here again but be careful who you bring here because they may be very unimpressed and ask to leave for another place in the middle of the night? Otherwise I would have given a third star.
