What guests think

At La Quinta by Wyndham Ft. Myers - Sanibel Gateway, travellers consistently praise the friendly staff, large resort-style pool area, and convenient location near the Sanibel causeway, alongside many comments about clean, often recently updated rooms.

However, reviews repeatedly note musty humidity in some rooms (often with dehumidifiers), occasional pests, and maintenance problems such as broken elevators or ice machines, hot tub or pool heat issues, and spotty gym or in-room fixtures. Noise from thin walls and very dim room lighting are also mentioned. Breakfast is widely appreciated for its hot options, though a few guests found the quality average and the 7:00 a.m. start too late. Expect a convenient, budget-friendly base close to Sanibel, with good value if you can tolerate occasional upkeep and humidity trade-offs.

We came for 9 days. We choose this property because of the pool. We called and were told the pool was at 87 degrees year round. We unfortunately only got to enjoy the pool for 2 days due to at first a part broke. They then supposedly got it fixed. It worked for a day and then the water was cold again. I and many others complained to the front desk who stated it was at 87 degrees but that was not accurate. COLD water was flowing into the pool. It was funny but the next day suddenly warm water was flowing again. It was disapointing that we only were able to utilize the pool itself for two days. At the beginning I had to go to the desk everyday to get new towels as well. I was treated very nice by the staff except unfortunately the person who said she was the manager was very rude and argued with my suggestion the pool was cold. All of the other staff were friendly. I don't know that we would go back there.

Great price but the room was very dark and not very clean. My son’s sheets were stained, there was hair on the bathroom floor and when I requested room service they never showed up so I went to get my own towels. The walls were paper thin. We could hear the people taking Upstairs and next door and it was pretty loud outside late at night. Breakfast was just ok. The only bagels were everything bagels and the only bread was white. And the beach was not a walkable distance.

My room was very musky and when I walked in, I should have just walked out. All of my clothes were damp. I kept using the blow dryer to get the dampness out of my bed linens. Upon check out, they did tell me that I should have come back to desk and asked for a dehumidifier. With this being said, the facility itself was nice. Breakfast was nice. Pool is nice. Location is good. My neighbor’s were very noisy. I just turned on my TV to drown them out. I was only there to take care of elderly parents so I was barely in the room. Only to sleep. I fly to Florida about 2-3 times a month to take care of elderly parents and I will not be staying here again.

Our room was infested with cockroaches. I have pictures and went to the front desk with the dead cockroaches to prove it. They said they would spray the room but it was at midnight and we had kids and a dog. Then the next night I killed 2 more. The kids dog and I ended up sleeping in our car for 2 nights at the hotel because we couldn't afford to get another room somewhere else

Overall this was a good place to stay and I would stay here again. The only negative remarks would be. The room initially had a musty smell but the room did have a dehumidifier and after about 2 hours of turning that and the AC on the smell was not noticeable. The other issue was the wi fi and internet was horrible, for at least 1 and a half days there was no internet at all. We had to go down the street to Mc Donalds and use their wi fi so my son could submit his homework. On the positive the rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and made everyday. Breakfast was good. The pool and hot tub were perfect. The staff were all nice and pleasant.

We were greeted by Roopa who was very nice! We explained how the hotel was hard to find by gps. She explained that if you add service Rd to the address it will guide you correctly. Parking was easy. There was a circle K next door & a publix down the road along with a Gator Bites Pub which we decided on for dinner after our late arrival. Our room was clean & spacious. A comfy, clean bed. I would have liked more down pillows. There were like 5 pillows so plenty to choose from. I prefer down so you can fluff it as neccessary. There was a love seat and side table which was adequate for a drink, snack etc. There really wasn't enough dresser space for our week long stay but it was sufficient for a couple of nights. The room was cleaned daily. The free breakfast was good. I made self waffles. Tea & coffee were available 24/7. The pool is hugh! It's great for laps. The hotel is located on a quieter street so that was nice. It was also located nearby to main streets for easy access. We went to Bunche Beach preserve nearby which was great for a walk & I found some nice 🐚 shells. We were able to feed gators while mini golfing at Smugglers Cove. We had breakfast twice at Sunflower Cafe after waking up too late for the free breakfast. It was delicious, the staff was friendly & the service was fast. We would definately stay at this LaQuinta again!

Breakfast only was served at 7:00 and I had to leave before then. Most hotels have it start at 6:00 or 6:30, which helps travelers a lot. So that was a big disappointment. The room was okay. The walls were paper thin. We could hear every single person who came in the parking lot or walked past the room. No telephone for the room, so no way to have a wake up call or call the front office. No hair blower in the room, which is a norm for most hotels. Very disappointing

What stands out about this stay is the staff. They’re refreshingly friendly and accommodating. The hotel is still recovering from the hurricane, so my room was spacious and nice, the pool looked fantastic, breakfast was good and in a very nice space, but there is still work to be done. The gym has lots of inoperable equipment and there are still areas in need of repair throughout the interior and exterior of the property. Once all the work is complete, I suspect better reviews will follow.

From the moment I arrived, the staff was amazing and courteous — a special shoutout to Ernesto at the front desk for being so helpful and welcoming! My room was clean and in great condition. The breakfast each morning had a nice variety of options, which was a great start to the day. The staff really goes above and beyond to accommodate guests and make sure you feel at home. This will definitely be my top choice the next time I’m in Ft. Myers/Sanibel. Highly recommend!

Hotel manager was very rude, very unhelpful, and unprofessional. The first thing I asked before I booked was “does the hot tub work” she said “yes, it’s working”. I travel for sports and that’s why I choose this place because Hot tub, AND IT WAS NOT WORKING! Not only that I tried to book at the hotel and she gave me a higher price than hotels.com. Then I book my room and said “oh, your a Wyndham rewards member, you could have got room for $20 less”. I told her that’s why I came in to ask in person. She said nothing she can do. She could have cared less if I checked in. She acted like I was an inconvenience to her. When I discovered hot tub was not working, she says “well I can’t call a tech out now, sorry it is what it is” Unreal! She should not be working with people! I had traveled all day and just wanted to relax. I will be giving bad reviews on every single website I can

When I checked in Christine was a little short with me she gave me my room keys and said here. I asked where my room was ( room number was 323 and she said kinda snippy above 223. Then I asked can you be a little more specific what side of hotel etc. Answered me like I should have known. The breakfast was great and the girl taking care of breakfast was very nice and pleasant. The room was nice. Pool was great

Our first room smelled like mold and mildew and the front gave us a new room immediately which was nice, however the staff is incompetent and unhelpful. We stayed for 2 nights and asked the front desk 5-6 times over those two nights for towels and were never given any. My mom had to dry off with a small hand/bath towel. Unacceptable. A family friend who ended up staying here in another room gave us 2 of his or we would have had nothing to shower with! During our whole stay not once were we given towels after the original 2 shower towels that were in the room.
