Nice Suite but Sparse Lobby Hours and Amenities
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/15/10
We recently stayed at Olde Marco Island Inn and Suites and the suite was clean, spacious and quiet. With the exception of one burned out light bulb, we experienced no problems with the suite. However, having stayed at hotels that provide everything from free coffee, cookies and breakfast buffets, we were surprised and disappointed to find that none of those amenities are offered in the lobby at the Olde Marco Inn. Given the nightly rate to stay here, we thought that these things would be freely available in the lobby. The people working in the lobby were very cordial and welcoming each time that we stopped by the lobby, but we did notice that the hours that the lobby was open were somewhat short, compared to other hotels. For example, it opens at 8 a.m., and at 7:56 the lobby was locked and the lights were off. Overall, the stay was okay, but for the money, I would stay at a Courtyard Marriott or some similar hotel next time. Almost forgot to mention, since the Inn is not near the beach, you have to drive to the public beach parking and pay $8.00 just to park. So, if you came to spend time on the beach each day, you don't want to stay here. Stay at a beachfront hotel and avoid the beach parking hassles and cost.
