Sanibel hotellia

Plussat: We had a great beach view from our newly updated room.

Miinukset: The bikes that were available to rent were not maintained very well.

Plussat: Everything was wonderful, staff was friendly, updated, clean. Everything you could possibly need at one resort.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: No see um bugs

Plussat: Loved the beach and pool. The location was ideal. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Air conditioner way too loud.

Plussat: Saff had a great attitude and was very helpful, location was excelent

Miinukset: Needs better seating , better beds. Could use updated paint in room. Needs computer station in office for printing boarding passes,directions etc...Back grass area could be better utilized possibly with a gazebo type area , seating and a barbeque area.

Plussat: You could walk to your shopping needs or take your car things very close..

Miinukset: The traffic getting out of here was a chore. I never see so many cars going somewhere all week long.

Miinukset: The air conditioner didn't work. I spent 1200 in three days but had no air the last night. They credited me $60. Lol

Plussat: Much larger room than we needed but was great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location was great and the ocean was just gorgeous.

Miinukset: The front desk gentleman that says he's the manager has no customer service skills at all! You walked in the door he doesn't say welcome first thing he says what is your name and do you have a credit card! Bad Customer service can ruin a vacation!!

Plussat: Location -- beach right there; everything else close by. Price -- right for value. Staff -- helpful and cheerful. We've been here before and will return. It's the perfect destination and experience for us.

Miinukset: There was nothing that we didn't like

Miinukset: I was confirmed and later cancelled by Kayak and its partners. I will never again use Kayak or any of its affiliates.

Plussat: Include onsite amenities like beach chairs and umbrellas, kayaks, and paddleboards. The marketplace, restaurants and pool bar were great bonuses as well.

Miinukset: Hotel rooms were extremely outdated and not well maintained - this is what prevents me from recommending to others and from staying there again.

Plussat: Loved that our room was upgraded. Quiet area.

Miinukset: Chilly weather

Plussat: i loved Danny! He was so awesome! Did everything he could to make our stay great! Thanks!

Miinukset: It was being renovated but that means it will just be better later

Plussat: Great place to stay. Quiet at night, but lots to do during the day. Beach is uncrowded (in late April anyway!), lots of chairs and umbrellas available. Nice pool. And zillions of brand new pickleball courts, if that's your thing. Close to other island attractions.

Plussat: Condo could use an upgrade. Bathroom very small. Carpet in poor condition.

Miinukset: Price

Plussat: Great breakfasts, pool bars, beach. Fine staff, good people. Spacious, two bedroom apartments are the norm. (two couples could easily entertain another two couples there.?)

Miinukset: George Orwell feel in four story, sameness condo world.?? Only the beach is.. truly natural.?

Plussat: Chose this location as it was very close to the beach where we were married and wanted to return to that spot with little to no difficulty.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location was great with a beautiful view. Loved being close to the beach and having a short drive to the shops and restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

Miinukset: The parking wasn't very accommodating. The lot is gravel so the parking spaces aren't marked. The residents would take too much space up, so that would leave a lot less parking places. There were several times we would have to park on the other side of the hotel. The shower door wouldn't stay shut and water would get on the bathroom floor.

Miinukset: Did not clean room very well. Leftover coffee from AM was left in pot and coffee cups were never washed out just left in bed area. The coffeemaker is located in the bathroom on the small sink counter! Yuk! Forgot to empty trash cans. Beds were obviously made in a rush. This place is definitely in need of some updating, both inside and out!!

Plussat: Close to the beach, nice rooms, and not a lot of people.

Miinukset: Bath tub drain was slow.

Plussat: Nice setting

Miinukset: Everything was fine

Plussat: The room was well appointed, very clean and updated. Had everything we needed, was like an efficiency apartment. Location across the street from the beach was great. Though it was too far from downtown for my wife to walk, she has very bad knees.

Miinukset: Bed was very uncomfortable. Woke up with very sore and stiff back. When we checked out the front desk said the room had a brand new mattress. I doubt that. The person said we should have said something earlier, they would've gotten us another mattress. I had no idea they would do that.

Plussat: Room was nice. Kitchenette was well supplied. View was breathtaking. bathroom counter top was spacious. Adored our screened-in balcony with chairs and table--it even has little hooks to hang out your wet bathing suit! Tons of hangers in the closet was really helpful. Room safe was very helpful to put wallets away when going to the beach. Pool was lovely. Pool bar was great for a drink or a snack. Plenty of pool towels for poolside or oceanside use. Could inexpensively rent umbrella and chairs for beach use. Business center let me get my boarding passes printed easily. Front desk was very nice and always helpful. Plenty of parking near our room.

Miinukset: We did have one roach in our room, but front desk had spray and it's the only negative issue we had.. Cleaning team was mediocre. They did an okay job but not a terrific job.

Plussat: Secluded beach front location. Well maintained for an older resort. The hotel is arranged so that most rooms have a view of the gulf. On site restaurant was very good.

Plussat: Quiet and relaxing setting, Tiled room made it for a clean stay without the worries of carpet stains or oders. Updated bathroom is nice. The refrigerator and microwave are a plus for snack packing. Flat screen Television has a clear picture. Very informative and friendly staff.

Plussat: The room was updated and clean. The inn is located in a central location on the island so we didn't have a far drive to places on either end of the island. It was also nice being on the water. Not much shells on this access spot; would recommend Bowmans beach for that. There was lots of parking so did not have any issues finding a space.

Miinukset: Although updated with granite countertops, the bathroom was tiny and hard to maneuver in; and I am a petite woman. It would have been nice if beach chairs and umbrellas were included like most of the other hotels.

Plussat: Great location on the beach.

Miinukset: Small room and very small bathroom 1 person only. Room had light outside door that shine in the room.

Plussat: Nice location close to the water

Miinukset: Beds were a bit uncomfortable, and were fulls instead of queens

Plussat: Just very peaceful and quiet. Everybody went out of their way to make my stay as pleasant as can be, and I think them for it.

Plussat: I actually picked on line because it had tile floored rooms available, but was pleasantly surprised for more than one reason. The price was excellent, actually the cleanest place I've stayed so far in Sanibel, lovely grounds - enjoyed lounging and reading in the hammock under the palms, and very short walk to the beach. The staff was very helpful also. I'd definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Great location Beautiful grounds that have a lot of potential if properly maintained

Miinukset: Poorly maintained. Ponds are all neglected. Air conditioning is old and very noisy. Interior needs updating and maintenance. "24 hour Coffee" that's cold most of the time. This hotel would be awesome if it was updated and well maintained.

Plussat: Clean, friendly and close to the beach.

Miinukset: The restaurant and gift shop were very pricey so we chose to not make use of them. The poolside bar had fabulous cocktails and great burgers that we enjoyed a lot.

Plussat: Beach

Miinukset: Mosquitoes. Lots of mosquitoes

Plussat: The staff was amazing, so accommodating and there for you when needed. Clean, Cozy Beachy rooms. was paradise :)

Plussat: My husband and I got married on Sanibel Island 7 years ago. We were in Florida with our kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc and my husband and I thought, why not take a night and a day and go back for a visit to our favorite place. We found Waterside Inn online and the price and location was perfect! When we arrived, the staff at the front dest/office were WONDERFUL! The beach was right there-just down the steps from our room. We only got a hotel room but, next year we will hopefully get one of the idyllic looking cottages. Needless to say, we will be back.

Plussat: Location. On the beach. Seconds from the sand and water. It was clean, except things are worn and a bit outdated.

Miinukset: Bit old and ever so slightly musty. Shows it's age in the cracked cabinets and creaky sliding doors.

Plussat: It's a nice hotel in a great location - and the front desk staff were fantastic.

Miinukset: Hate to go to a really nice hotel and in the room have only plastic cups wrapped in plastic for water, or to drink my coffee in a flimsy paper cup in my room.

Plussat: Bed and pillows were not as comfortable. Room was clean and updated. Excellent beach access.

Miinukset: We loved the hotel, but the price was a but high.

Plussat: Ocean front with good beach access!

Miinukset: The room was in poor condition and dirty! The facilities need a remodel and especially a much needed cleaning!

Plussat: Love, love, love Sanibel Island and Sanibel Inn. Everybody was very helpful. Front desk staff especially Eric was welcoming and helpful. I would definitely go back again and stay here.

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Resort was not a big fancy place, but was smaller and quieter which was perfect for myself and teenage daughter! There was a mix of all types of guests from young couples, to families and retired couples. Everything you needed was right there at the resort or a short bike ride away. We loved the availability to take out a bike any time during the day. The resort staff were friendly and always helpful. The beach was clean and full of shells, just beautiful! The pool was also relaxing when the beach got too warm. It was a nice size with plenty of chairs and a pool side bar and small cafe. We loved the trip and resort and can't wait to take the whole family back!

Miinukset: The only negative was that if the wind was above 35 mph we couldn't use umbrellas on the beach and there was limited shade at the pool.

Miinukset: facilities old, cockroaches in my room!!!!

Plussat: Very clean room. Staff was very friendly. Loved that to use bicycle, umbrella and kayaks did not cost us additional money. Restaurant on premise was very good food and friendly staff. Great value for your money. Easy to get find the hotel.

Plussat: The staff were amazing, they endured we had everything we needed

Plussat: location and staff

Miinukset: leaky air conditioner....water all over the balcony slow-draining sink in the bathroom sand fleas in the bed maid cleaned the coffee cups with her bare hands...no gloves....no soap...

Plussat: My and my husband have stayed here a handful of times and we love it. Great value, great location and can bike to beaches. Rooms are always clean and comfortable and have a mini fridge and microwave. Awesome place!

Plussat: Friendly staff, location, quaint.

Miinukset: Weekend was too short!

Plussat: We stay at the Anchor Inn every time we come to Sanibel Island. We absolutely love it there. Friendly staff, pet friendly. I stayed there with my daughter and 2 dachshunds. Good value for your money. They bend over backwards to make sure we are comfortable during our stay. We stayed for a week this time. Discovered the washer and dryer for us to use also! That was a big plus! Nice little area to wash your seashells and a pool also! Horseshoes, bikes are all available too! Great place to stay. Can't wait to go back!

Plussat: The shuffle board game because we had never played it before.

Miinukset: The ants on the sink and table. Tiny shower that made me feel like I was back k at my locker room in high school.

Plussat: It was near the Community House where we worked at the shell show 3days. Easy to drive to.

Miinukset: Toilet too Low without any grab bars. Not enough shelf space in bathroom. No small packets of shampoo. Having to take care of putting towels in container, then having to get clean ones out for use the next day. We used the coffee pot and coffee was not replaced for the next day. TV control was lousy. No list of channels we could get on TV. Had to ask for a hair dryer. We were not informed that we had to ask. The on and off switches on the lamps. Had trouble reaching down to find the switch that was on the wire. Had to ask for someone to come in to make beds, but they never emptied the trash cans.

Plussat: We stayed in one of the A-frame cottages -- LOVED it! Totally cute and roomy. Everyone felt instantly at home, even our dog! With the full kitchen we only went out to eat once, which saved money. The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. The pool was heated to a nice temperature -- even I got in it, and I'm a wuss if it's even a little bit cool. It was actually warm. Beaches are within driving distance of about five minutes. We rented a fishing pole and had a blast. Great family memories and I hope we can make Anchor Inn & Cottages an annual family getaway.

Miinukset: Although the cottage was pretty clean and tidy, it could have been a bit more clean. There were what looked to be dead bugs on top of the cabinets, which are clearly visible from the loft bedroom. Also, the ashtray outside on the railing of the loft bedroom's porch was full of cigarette butts.
