Budget Inn Punta Gorda

My brother and I stayed here on 1÷7÷16, we flew into Fort Myers late, and I had booked a room here ahead of time to be near the downtown area. We arrived late, 2am roughly, and the 24 hr front desk held true, after banging on the door and ringing the bell for 10 minutes.
Once the Scooby doo villian looking curater took a long look at the clock he eventually opened the door. I’d like to say he was polite, but that would be a lie, he was rude, sleepy and unable to find our reservation in the stack of hand written scrap paper notes. With persuasion he honored the internet price of $ 84. He handed me the key and the remote to the tv and sent me on my way, rudely I might add one more time.
The room, well, it was a toss up between the bed with the black hair on the sheets or the one with odd red stains on the sheets and bed spread, I opted for the stains, best your gonna get at 2:30am im guessing. The bathroom was like a prison cell without the inmates, it was dirty, rundown and offered little in amenities.
The a/​c worked about as good as you would expect and kept the sober btother up all night making a aweful racket. We rolled out at 11am to find the same rude man in the office, turned in the remote and tried to move on dispite the lingering emotional scars of spending 9 hours in the hotel.
on a side note, the pool looked nice and the landscaping was colorful. Don’t stay here, just sleep in your car, you will be better off.

Very inexpensive very quiet clean modest rooms for the price heated pool Wi-​Fi hotel is within walking distance of a few good restaurants this hotel is one of my good choices well cvept for the Sddhole ponytailed front desk vlekWho needs to be fired on the spot there than that wonderful experience

I get it. It’s a budget inn. It’s cheap and expectations should be adjusted accordingly.
But the elderly gentleman who greeted me at the desk seemed to have zero gift or training for dealing with the public. When I walked in he was picking his nose and watching television. When he sneezed (after removing the aforesaid finger from his nostril) I said «bless you», and he muttered «yup». When he finally tried to engage with me, it wasn’t about my stay or my needs but rather to comment on what the actors were saying on the TV show.
Even a budget motel should provide things such as a bare minimum of customer service since it costs them nothing to do things right.

What a charming garden ambience! This little find has a home garden, peaceful, with serene spiritual sculptures and large ceramic urns with plants. THIS PLACES EXUDES THE PERSONAL TOUCH OF THE OWNERS, and Not the cold corporate feeling of the large Chain hotels. Two Lebanese CHICKS FROM CHICAGO, just passing thru! M & C.

The owner doesn’t want business. Let this asshole have it his way. STAY AWAY FROM HERE! you will be wasting your time and money booking here. He advertises free wifi and cable but literally only offers 3 yes THREE channels on tv and the wifi only works if you’re up front in the office. I own a design business and needed to be able to contact a client and fix a project with my Mac book pro. The owner told me it wasn’t his fault the wifi doesn’t work and that I’d just have to sit outside with the Mosquitos to work. He treated me like total trash and tried snatching my computer away from me three times. I am a Sr. Consultant and owner of my own business. I am 35 years old and can’t believe anyone would treat their customers this way. I was trying to save a few bucks by staying here but this place wasn’t worth the hassle. This guy is EXTREMELY rude. We were checked in for 15 mins and he told me that I should leave and stay somewhere else bc he wasn’t going to fix the wifi. He doesn’t want customers so let him have what he wants. Stay away!
