Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina
Shower had some mold. Smallish, older room. Good breakfast. Plenty of pools and good beach access. Fun place for families but not much nearby.

Baymont by Wyndham Fort Myers Central
This property needs a total refurbishment. The tiles in the bathroom were painted a peeling on every wall, the pillows were lumpy, the entire building was grimy and in poor taste. I was very surprised that it was a Wyndham property.
