Holiday Inn Express Cape Coral-Fort Myers Area by IHG
Staff was nice,check in took entirely too long as there was only 1 staff member doing the check in. Room cleanliness by housekeeping could have been better but all in all not a terrible hotel.

We have not been back to Sanibel since Ian, and we made a great choice staying here. Staff was very accommodating and welcoming. It has a nice little bar in swimming pool. Great deck chairs on the beach everything you could want Sanibel.
