Holiday Inn Express Cape Coral-Fort Myers Area by IHG
Recently stayed at location on 4/13/26 to 4/15/26. Convenient parking. The room was clean and fresh. The complimentary breakfast was very good and fresh. They had something of everyone, from yogart, cereal, fruit, pastries, pancakes sausage, bacon, and oatmeal. I definitely recommend a visit.
