We were only here only one night but will definitely come back! A definite hidden gem with a great restaurant overlooking the harbor. Very friendly and helpful staff, short walking distance from the beach, clean and comfortable!

The girls and I LOVED it here. We had a patio that overlooked the river and we could see and hear the live music from our porch. They called me early to check in, which was really nice! The gal that checked me in was so friendly. And our room! Wow! Full sized fridge, microwave and stove top and dishes. And we didn’t even have to leave the premises to eat and have some drinks. Everything about this stay was perfect. Well, except the traffic here, seems like everyone wants to be in this area, and I can see why!

Unfortunately, this turned out to be part of a trip that went south. The hotel was older, but in good shape. The outside doors are not a plus for us. It did have a great restaurant bar next door and the amenities were actually ok, but the area around it really didn't have much to do due to the hurricane 1.5 years ago. They are really slow to rebuild the area.

This hotel was very nice and the staff was very friendly. It was well situated to restaurants and shops I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Beautiful property. Well maintained and great location. Even with the hurricane damage in the area, this gem was taken care of and updated. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

This place was a gem of a pick for staying with 2 girlfiriends for a short girls' trip. It's in a perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere: the beach, the restaurants, the marketplace near the pier. The hotel staff was terrific: very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has it's own restaurant which is attached and has seating at two levels next to the canal. It's fun to watch the boat traffic on the canal going under the main bridge to the island. We also had free parking in front of the hotel and because of the central location, we never moved our car. Finding parking in the area is difficult and expensive so having your own parking space right next to the hotel was a big plus. We were delighted with our room. It had a kitchen and enough room tor the 3 of us to be comfortable. We had so much fun!!!We will be back!!!!

The staff is incredible nice and efficient, the property is super clean and beautifully maintained. Unfortunately the weekend I spent there was cold and cloudy but the hot tub and warm pool came to the rescue. I did receive the vouchers for the free drinks and they were fantastic. In fact, the food, drinks and the view of the bay from the bar are reasons to not even leave the hotel. The beach and the few restaurants and shops that are open are just a few steps away from the hotel. Loved my stay and my only complaint was that I wish I had stayed longer.

Since this was our first time to stay following the hurricane, we didn’t know exactly what to expect. Thankfully, the Inn was operating smoothly and we had no issues. There was and will be continuing construction in the area, but for our purposes prior to departing on the Key West Express, we were quite pleased.👌😎

Dec. 2023. We stayed in their cottage. It’s like a home away from home. Very comfortable. Will stay again.

The area is absolutely lovely and it’s a short walk to the beach! The rooms were clean and cozy but the entertainment on the upper deck could be heard from our rooms and was a little much.

Hotel has a small, big quaint pool field and Jacuzzi all redone since the hurricane in September 2022. So everything is new and redone.

Amazing stay! We felt so comfortable here. Away from all the noise, but still walking distance to fun if desired. The room was so clean, beds were so comfortable, and staff was incredibly nice.
Will visit again!

Matanza’s is a Ft Myers legacy.
It’s exactly what you expect.
Old school, right in the thick of things,
great pool…
Phenomenal restaurant too.
Walk to everything or we’ve gotten picked up on the boat as well. My family LIVES in Ft Myers so we stay with them…but we always end up sneaking off to Matanza’s for a breather😂.
Nice Place. We like it.

Just an overnight stay. Honestly the best service I’ve ever had at any hotel. Fast friendly service. Front desk called me in the morning to ask me what time to expect me and to let me know my room was ready.
Nice, clean and comfortable place - close to everything.

Hidden gem! We love Ft Myers beach and had never stayed at the Inn. They had availability for a last minute weekend away with friends. The new rooms are so nice, clean and perfect for what we wanted. Patti, Penny and Jeff were so friendly and accommodating. We will be back soon!

They have done a great job of restoring this property after the hurricane. I would recommend this place to anyone.

We were taking the Key West Express, and this was very close to the boarding spot. Ft. Myers Beach is in ruins. And we were happy with our stay in Matanzas as it was clean and pleasant. Delicious food was a short walk as well as some good bars. The pool and hot tub a plus!
5.0
My husband and I were a little nervous to visit Fort Myers beach after the hurricane last night. There were still tons of places being rebuilt but Matanzas fully functional! Everything in the room was brand new! The room was spotless! The ac kept our room nice and cool and was quiet! The staff was super feeling and made check in and any questions we had effortless! We will definitely be back!
