OYO Waterfront Hotel - Cape Coral/Fort Myers, FL

This property is very clean and the staff was very nice. The exterior is still in shambles from the hurricane. It was a little scary when I pulled up, the sign is even on the ground. Pool umbrellas are shredded and still out, it looked like the hurricane just hit. The interior was very clean 1970’s appliances 😆 and the bed was comfortable. Just a little more lipstick and it will be perfect.

The hotel does not have an elevator to second floor. The door out to the porch didn’t close well and excessive traffic noise was heard late into the evening.

It is really old motel. The room smelled very strong of ammonia to the point of nausea, it was clean though. The local at the restaurant next door referred to it as the crack motel. That being said, there are two good restaurants with in a block of the motel. The view from the back of the motel was beautiful. The sign was blown down by the hurricane, so it is hard to tell if you're in the right place, of course that is not their faught.

Hotel was definitely not as pictured. It was dingy, run down, spartan room. Nasty, old kitchenette. Unfinished drywall repairs in the room. Outlets without covers, and some so loose they wouldn't hold a plug. I could not find a safe enough outlet to charge my phone; wiggling one would cause the light to flicker on and off. Half the lamps did not turn on. The towels were hand towel size and felt like they had been bleached every day since 1992, but still grey. The safety latch on the door's interior had been ripped off. The boardwalk along the canal was sloping about 10degrees toward the water and had on old jet ski partially on it. The Oyo sign was damaged and the rest of the signs on the building and in the parking lot said the name of another hotel, so I was confused about where to go. The owner who checked me in was not very hospitable and almost seemed annoyed that he had to deal with me.

Well I arrived to find a broken head board lying on the ground. Half the lights in the room were either blinking or did not work. Five light switches in the room and two worked. Also there were two missing electrical outlets with no cover and one had exposed wires. Then there was no hot water four if the days I stayed. Then the pool was closed when I called in advance to see if the pool was open or was told yes. Upon arriving the pool was closed and management said it was open yet he would not remove the sign. I ran into the pool cleaner and he said he would not swim until n that pool it had barely touched bough suction for him to vacuum the pool and he said that the heater has electrical issues. I will return to Florida but will not ever stay here ever again.

Easy pool access

The rooms needed repair. The bed's headboard was not attached, it was on the floor behind the bed. Stove was dirty. Outside the seatin area was gd & the pool was awesome.

There was a man peeing in the bushes. NO security at all super sketchy. None painted areas. In process of remodeling. Can’t tell where office is.

Hotel is poorly maintained some of the railings are falling off Rooms are in poor condition

The OYO is on a beautiful channel in Cape Coral. It is centrally located, with an easy drive to the Fort Myers airport, Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the pool and channel, but during the time we stayed it was too chilly to use the pool (it is not heated). Our room had a fridge, coffee maker, microwave and had a great layout. The room could definitely use a good update and cleaning. It had mold behind the toilet and in multiple spots the walls had holes (like from door handles or previous toilet paper holders). The best part of the hotel is that the staff was always courteous and welcoming. There was an on-site laundry which was convenient after spending the day at the beach.

The room smelled liked urine. My sheets and floor were dirty. The hair dryer didn’t work. The hot water didn’t work. The fridge didn’t start working until two day into my stay.

This place is the definition of false advertising. Bright cheery rooms? Wrong. Absolutely wrong. You’re welcomed with the strongest chemical fragrance to cover the black mold smell. None of the chemicals were actually used to clean the room. Black mold clear as day in the corner above the shower, along with other water damage still happening from the room above. The sink is cracked and barely drains. The doors are covered with dirt and grime. Mini fridge doesn’t cool. Stove top pans needed to be replaced forever ago. Outlets don’t work unless you prop something under to keep things charging. Holes and patches all over the walls. Ants and cockroaches will be all over the kitchenette and bathroom. All this and more was brought up to the “manager/boss” Phillip and he became hostile and disrespectful. Called my boyfriend and I liars about the cleanliness and bugs. His attempt at righting this after being screamed at, was to give us a different room, in the exact same shape. For my own sanity and safety, we left to a much better hotel. Hopefully they will use my donated paid night to fix something. Highly, highly advised to avoid. I also took pictures of the property and sent to Expedia.

Poorly kept, needing many more repairs or upgrades. One roach crawling in bathroom. On a noisy street. Bd way too hard. No pillow cases. Won’t recommend.

Very very dirty . Pictures on website are a scam. Just stay at motel 6 looks about the same. Just pretty gross overall . Also very loud , doors to balcony are not insulated so you will hear everything. No door on entrance to rooms so open to public, feels unsafe.

The location is amazing and the view of the canal is 5 stars but the tub had mold around it, dryer didnt work, mini kitchen area super dirty and needs paint and a good clean up...

This was by far the dirtiest and smelliest motel/hotel I have ever stayed in.

The bed, shower, sink and toilet were clean but the walls and doors were covered in what looked like poop finger prints. The door to the patio only had a deadbolt the latch mechanism was missing. The security latch on yhe room door was broken. The plug in the sink area for the blow dryer did not work.

Awful.. Mold

Killed two roaches in the room. There was a bug smashed on the wall when I got there. Disgusting.

Roaches in the room

The hotel does not have an elevator to second floor. The door out to the porch didn’t close well and excessive traffic noise was heard late into the evening.

The check in was quick and easy. The rooms are on the older side bed was very uncomfortable sadly i could feel the springs in the mattress.

The rooms needed repair. The bed's headboard was not attached, it was on the floor behind the bed. Stove was dirty. Outside the seatin area was gd & the pool was awesome.

Bed was good, amenities in the room were good and price was very reasonable.

The view of the channel was nice

I liked the spaciousness of the room and that it was connected to a small sitting area & pool. The flooring in the main room was nice along with the bedspread. I didn’t like that the outside of the building did not look nice like it did in the picture, the deadbolt lock was missing (ripped off) of the door leading to outside which made me feel unsafe, the smoke alarm was just hanging by a wire, light fixture had corrosion & rust all over it as did the shelving in the mini fridge, broken blind in kitchen area, the bathtub finish along with the ceramic tile in the bathroom was gross, there was a foul smell coming up from the bathtub drain, towels were old, thin & scratchy, hair dryer did not work so had to leave with wet hair, couldn’t connect to WiFi. and the worst part of all is that it cost me $300 . I was desperate for a place to stay that night- I feel like i got totally taken advantage off and will be very leery in the future

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel, but after we saw the room we considered sleeping in the truck for the night. When we arrived there was nobody in the office, but luckily a nice person staying there helped us. When we finally got a person in the office, he was very kind and accommodating to our requests (ground floor, close to our truck, etc.) HOWEVER, when we got to the room, the swinging lock on the door was busted off on the front door, and on the back door leading to the patio the same thing had happened, but they replaced it with an industrial sliding pin lock. The bed sheets were stained with strange yellow and brown stains, the lamp shades had strange brown stains on it, there were smeared hand prints on the walls, patched drywall with no paint, dirt on the floors, broken furniture and peeling shower, the list goes on. The area isn’t extremely unsafe, but if I had not been with my boyfriend I would have turned around and left. We booked this hotel last minute as a cheap option, and we definitely overpaid at $111 for one night. The only reason it got 2 stars is because the view of the water from the patio was beautiful, and we had a place to rest our heads. Other than that, I do not recommend. We will never go back to this hotel.

Outdated, some lamps didnt work, and tv was hard to use. Also there's no phone in room

Beautiful room view. Over looking canal.

Not as advertised. Noxious smell as we entered the room. Bed uncomfortable. Bath/shower with scoured out bottom. Poor lighting. At this price we expected something much nicer. The photographer on the internet site should be commended for putting a good face on a poor property.

Front desk guy was rude! Office was unkept. The room he gave me was being repaired. Floors were dirty...broken bathtub...lights out...blinds broken...broken door locks...outside view of parking lot. Hotels.com gave it a 7 out of 10...I give it a solid 3. I only tried this Hotel because of the discount that I recieved on line (Platinum). It was so overpriced to the point that I think theyowe me. Me and my company will not stay there again.

Excellent management!

Nice property friendly staff

I booked a room using hotels.com. I got there late in the evening. No one was in the office. It just so happened another couple had locked their room key in their room. There was a note with a number to call for service. It took multiple calls before anyone answered, the other couple got through to whoever answered first. Eventually, someone showed up who was at the hotel. That man let the other couple into their room, when I explained I booked a room through hotels.com, the man told me too bad, and that the office was closed!!!! I ended up having to sleep in my vehicle at a Walmart, after a very long day of travel!!!! I'm still pissed off!!!!!

The staff went out of there way to accommodate my stay needs.

Manager and assistant manager did an excellent job of providing great service and made me feel welcome.

Listing clearly states 24 hour front desk and does not list an end time for check in. I booked this around midnight as a last minute arrangement. Arrived at the hotel shortly after and a sign on the door stated call for service. The office was locked up. There was a ring doorbell that was shattered and not working. Place looked very run down. Called the number multiple times and just got a voicemail box which was full. Finally got through to someone who answered and said the front desk was closed (before I even made the reservation). He said to take it up with Expedia and hung up. I contacted Expedia who has then called the hotel, but since it's a non-refundable booking, they refuse to refund. This is absolutely insane to me. I booked based on the information in the listing, I showed for my booking, they did not provide service And are keeping the money. Thieves.

FILTHY! I refused to stay in such FILTH, they SCREAMED at me when I complained, refused to refund my money! It was during hurricane Milton, they were ripping locals off by putting reservation to nonrefundable, FORCING LOCALS to lose their money if they refused to stay in FILTH! HORRIBLE DRUG RIDEN ROACH MOTEL!! FILTHY!!

There was no one at the front desk at checkout time; there was a lady attempting to check in early, but she stated that she had been there for a while and there was no one. I rang the manual bell, but no one came to the front desk, despite the fact that some personnel were speaking behind a glass door. Finally, a man employee arrived with a threatening and hostile attitude, yelling at us. BTW, it was approximately 9 a.m., he had a Middle Eastern accent and he did not wear badge or uniform

This place was absolutely disgusting, booked rooms for guys while we are down here fixing powerlines from the hurricane. We ended up leaving and getting rooms elsewhere front seat was no help and refused refunds. Do not ever book here it’s gross.

Good service, little old property but convenient location

It was quiet and nice place, but old and a litte bit dirty! Hair on the floor and in the bathroom. Good location

Probably the most dirty run down hotel I've ever stayed in. Holes in the walls, ants everywhere, gross kitchen, filthy walls, filthy light switches. We wouldn't even sleep on the bed, we slept in our clothes and got out of there first thing in the am. The area is great, the hotel is a absolute dump.

This hotel was close to everything which made it convenient for us. However, we found two cockroaches in the kitchen area.

The hotel does not have an elevator to second floor. The door out to the porch didn’t close well and excessive traffic noise was heard late into the evening.

It is really old motel. The room smelled very strong of ammonia to the point of nausea, it was clean though. The local at the restaurant next door referred to it as the crack motel.

Great location, friendly staff best price in town. Thanks

Great place, friendly people, lots of options to eat. Loved the room! Everything was great!
