We stayed here as part of a Red Sox Spring Training package in March 2008. The biggest pro of this hotel is that you are literally only 2 short walking blocks away from the City of Palms park. We loved that we could just walk to the games. There is a Dunkin Donuts on site, which is very convenient, as... more

This Holiday Inn opened only last October and everything is still pristine. However, we felt a bit cheated by the term 'Historic' in its title. It may be within walking distance of the Edison-Ford Museum, but all the other attractions of historic Fort Myers are a good 10 minutes drive away. The rate was $189, excluding breakfast. There are better... more

I don’t know what the other reviewers are thinking. I would NEVER stay at this hotel again. If you check in (I don’t recommend it) don’t leave the hotel after dark. Lots of street people everywhere, not safe to walk. Behind the hotel and on adjacent streets very low income housing and rehab facilities. I guess the review that said... more

I came to Florida to visit my friends and when I arrived to Holiday Inn Downtown Historic District I was very suprised. The hotel reminded me of modern European hotel. The front desk girls were young and energetic, which made my check in pleasant. Rooms were clean and comfortable. I definetly enjoyed the flat screen TV. Dinner at Char was... more

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who has a need to stay in the Ft. Myers area particularly within the downtown area. Its location is just around the corner from the historic downtown district, and for those baseball fans like myself a short walk to the Boston Red Sox training facility. When I made my reservation directly to the... more

Some of the rooms were renovated not all of them. So make sure you ask for a renovated room. The pool is okay no Jacuzzi. My first day after checking in a... more

I stayed at this hotel on business and it was great how every staff member was oh so friendly and inviting. Tamara and Amanda were able to help me find things to do in my down time, like visiting the Edison-Ford Winter Estates. I would highly reccomend the dinning in Char as well. more

You can tell that they have done a lot to this hotel! Great area! Walking distance to everything. Staff is extremely attentive. They go out of their way to accomodate every request. Other hotels need to learn by this one with the exceptional staff. And the renovations are BEAUTIFUL!! Hats off to the management!!!!! more

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I have had in a while. First of all the nightly rate was close to $200! I am a business traveler and could not access their wireless internet to get my work done. The front desk was unreponsive - they said they would call me back in 15 minutes and a half... more
