Travel tips
Because the property is off I‑75 and includes free parking, having a car can make it much easier to reach Fort Myers sights such as the River District, Edison & Ford Winter Estates, and Lakes Park.

For longer stays, plan to use the on-site guest laundry and the outdoor BBQ grills for budget-friendly meals.
