I was born and raised in Seminole, so were my siblings. We went to school with the Westphal kids. When Mom and Dad died, we had to sell the family home last year, directly across the intercoastal way. So we needed a new 'home base' for the beach and we found it. We thank Wes for preserving the 'Old Florida' we know and love. It is a wonderful home and we value the charm. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and water views from every room. We loved it and will return again and again.

From the culturally rich exterior to the amazing cleanliness and decor of the interior, Fortune House is now on my top five list of most favorite hotels. Got an amazing rate due to Florida's "off season" and everything far exceeded my expectations. Great staff, spacious apartment, fitness center (really a lot more than your typical hotel gym), fabulous pool area. Be aware of $25 valet per night but the staff was super attentive and virtually no waits for anything.

We've stayed at this hotel several times. It never disappoints. We feel safe at this hotel. The location is excellent. Next door you'll find a couple of fast food places and a Cuban restaurant. The hotel is a short shuttle ride to the Dolphin Mall, Florida International Mall and Walmart. Delicious breakfast with good variety of food. Very clean rooms and the grounds are immaculate. There's an ATM in the lobby. Staff is very helpful, very well mannered.

The room was very nice the beechview was very nice the staff was excellent. It was just an overall great experience. And I will be staying at your hotel again in the future for sure. I am a Florida resident I live in the Tampa area but I have friends that come down from the north all the time and I will definitely bring them down to Fort Myers Beach. Would it be possible for you to send me a year round Room rate schedule if you have that information?

I travel a lot, 59 years old, and this hotel is clean, quality beds, and I will stay here again when I go to Florida. I stayed at a hilton Chicago and saw no difference in the room s except paying 3 times more for the Hilton. Stay here, it's clean and nice. What I liked when I left was the owner was there thanking us for staying at his hotel. That told me appreciates our buissness. He was in a ball cap and jeans. A working man!!!!!

Breakfast, pool, furnishings, decor, bed, kitchen in room, storage in room were all great! Towels were very think for a hotel. Close to great restaurants - The Back Porch and a superb candy/chocolate shop were on the way to walking to the beach. If you beach behind the Back Porch they have chairs and umbrellas for rent. I think Florida's new public/private beach laws are a mess they will have to "fix".

We spent 5 days at the beach hotel after travelling around Florida...it was a good choice to end the trip there...close to the beach and other shops and restaurants, nice pool, comfortable beds. The staff was really helpful and kind...it's not a 5 star hotel but good value for the price !!

I have rated "value for money" - Poor, because of the Red Tide effect during our stay. Additionally, the prices per night are not really competitive at the end of the August period. Many other hotels on Florida coasts offer better rates with similar or better hotel ratings.

Clean pet-friendly property close to beach, min fridge in room, great little pool area and a small but very friendly tiki. Complimentary coffee in the lobby with cool 'make your selection' coffee makers. Great mom & pop style Florida hotel.

We came in late and I think we woke the attendant up! Oh well, he was still nice to us. It's just an old Florida Motel!! BUT...this place was SUPER clean, we were actually shocked! I've seen really Nice Hotels that weren't this clean.

Very lovely setting, standing out as a formerly typical Florida resort among high rise hotels on either side. Rooms are spacious, Our room 509 has the best view at a higher rate, but sits next to Jimmy s Bar w/ nightly loud entertainment.

I loved the "old Florida" feel of the hotel - not a cold condo. Location couldn't possibly be better and "homey" at the same time. The back lagoon was lovely. Needed more chairs on the dock to enjoy it, though.

Former Hampton inn so beds were Hampton-comfortable. Refrigerator and microwave in rooms were great! I appreciated the fact that hotel workers were not all Hispanic, they were of all nationalities (rare in Central and South Florida).

I have been to Florida many times and stayed in hotels no kitchen. But this time I brought my sister she has health problems this was her first time to the beach with me so it was special we brought the grandkids they loved it

The beach is beautiful in this part of Florida. The hotel sits right on the beach which is designated "private" (although they do not enforce this and the beach was filled with people who did not stay at the resort).

We love the “old” Florida feel of this cute hotel. But the best part is how friendly and helpful Ulli and Michelle are. Clean, bright rooms with a great pool and view of the inter coastal waterway. Can’t wait to come back.

staying at the hotel was the most relaxing part of out trip my husband said staying there that one night was the best sleep he got and the most relaxed he had been since we got to Florida.

Negative! Regretted that I even booked it! Worst than 3rd world MOTEL! Couldn’t imagine Miami Beach Florida USA has such a facility called “HOTEL”! Jesus!

This was my friend and I'm first trip to Florida; and seeing the beach. It was absolutely amazing! The hotel was perfect! Thank y'all!

The size of the room was good, bed's were comfortable. The atmosphere within the hotel was tropical theme typical southern Florida.
