Flamingo Motel-Bonita Springs

Posted by admin on May 11, 2009

We recently stayed at the Flamingo Motel in Bonita Springs, FL. I had heard good reviews on it and figured we’d give it a try based on the reviews as well as their website.

I was pleasantly surprised that the reviews were accurate!

Even though the name is Flamingo Motel, it was nothing like mainstream motels. It’s family owned and they were most polite and helpful.

The rooms were up to date (looked like bathrooms were recently done). Best of all the rooms didn’t have any weird funky smell. Since I’m overly sensitive to smells and chemicals that was a huge plus in my book. Usually we do not stay in motels because of that reason, but there were no smells, no funky aromas in the room!

Their rates are mega affordable (especially right now since it’s “off season”). They’re located about 1 1/3 mile from local beach and preserves and about a 20 min. drive north of the Naples Zoo.

They have a heated pool (don’t find that often in FL), a tiki hut and nice outside area too.

There was nothing really green about the place though other than the fact they did have recycling available.

But, overall as a motel it was:
affordable
nice owners
updated rooms (complete w/compact frig, microwave)
no funky smells, aromas
