Hotels near Great Dock Canoe Race, Naples

We have always liked the Bayfront. It's my understanding that it's under new ownership. The rooms have all been brightened with fresh paint. The dark wood has been redone in a cheery white. The bar is next on the remodel list. The menu has been updated and everything was quite good. Just knowing that there was food and drink available after a long drive makes it worthwhile. Ample parking and walking distance to the shops downtown. The Bayfront on 5th does not disappoint.

We had a wonderful five day getaway at this hotel. The hotel is beautiful with inspiring art work in the rooms and in the lobby. The room was nicely laid out, with great lighting and the bathroom was very spacious for a couple. The room had plenty of electrical outlets for many devices, and was kept clean with daily housekeeping.We used the gym, which had brand new equipment. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast, which had lots of food choices. Finally, I wanted to thank Jose, Dylan and the other people working the front desk. They were so helpful and friendly during our stay.

I don't say this lightly, I would prefer not to go on vacation vs. staying here again. The person who checked us in was so kinda, and when we asked to have our room switched they were so quick to help out, but the hotel rooms and hallways were truly gross. We did not use the pool and missed the breakfast so I have no comment there. Prior to staying here, I didn't do much research. We are super familiar with the naples area and just needed a place to stay at for a night before our airbnb opened. I travel for work often and trust marriott and didn't think twice about booking a reliable Residence Inn. We got in pretty late, it must have been just before midnight. I point this out because I'm not sure if they were low on availability or something. The first room we were given had a unique scent of throw up upon opening the door. Like it was blatant. When my husband went into the bedroom, there were wet spots all over on the carpet and our gut just felt like the room was not properly cleaned. It really, really smelled. When we opened the crib for our son a bunch of cheerios fell out of the pack and play. It was that moment that I realized I had to be that person to ask for a different room. I really don't often do this but the smell of throw up was overwhelming and the floor was too wet to trust it. Honestly, it was really gross. I'm disappointed they'd even offer this room to someone. When we opened the door to the second room, the smell was overwhelmingly of ciggarettes. It's a nonsmoking hotel and room so clearly someone just broke the rules. They didn't have another crib so we just carried the cheerio crib to this room. We realized two of the garbages in the new room hadn't been emptied. At this point it was like 1AM and we just tried not to think about it and fell asleep. When we woke up we packed up our things and peaced out as quickly as we could. I share this experience because I always trust Marriott but this was BAD. We paid an insane amount of money for our one night (high season) and I left feeling violated. I know that probably sounds comical but I felt scammed. In summary, the check in guy was so kind. This isn't a knock on the workers. But the two rooms we experienced were flat out disgusting and not sanitary. I would not stay there ever again even if the entire stay was free.

I recently stayed there for 1 night. The hotel is very clean, has a cool beach/Margaritaville theme, has a nice fitness center, and offers a fantastic free breakfast, which included eggs, bacon, sausage, frittata, french toast, and other items. My hotel room had a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator. Complimentary water bottles in the room was a nice touch. Great value! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We arrived in Naples for a long weekend getaway. Instantly greeted by Michelle at the Front Desk who was so kind and helpful after a long travel day. She was great with information about the area. We utilized the shuttle beach service Saturday and Sunday. Hotel offers Free beach chairs, towels and water. If you need an umbrella, the beach service area, once at the beach, is very convenient and inexpensive to rent. Bella, the Front Desk Manager aka Shuttle Van Driver is GREAT! She has a bubbly personality and impeccable service skills. You can tell, she loves her job. We had a wonderful weekend. The rooms were spotless. The Pool was clean and beautiful. Highly recommend !!

We've stayed at this property since it was first built and it was amazing back in the day. It's went downhill over the years. The hotel rooms are so-so and are definitely in need of some updating. The rooms are dark and dingy and some of the lighting in the rooms need to have bulbs replaced in the overhead vanity lights, etc. Updated and additional lighting throughout the rooms would be a plus! The wall paper was peeling in the bathrooms and the rooms were generally dark and dingy. The pillows are flat and horrible. The carpeting in the rooms had burn holes and dirty. The elevators are also dirty. The hotel has deodorizer machines plugged in all over the hallways to disperse an obnoxious deodorant spray to mask odors. The housekeeping staff talks very loudly in the hallways all day long. We never utilize housekeeping during our stays but asked for a few replacement towels and they seemed to be bothered by this. The breakfast buffet was always a disheveled mess and somewhat risky to say the least. The hard boiled eggs were in a communal dish as were the bread and pastry items and people were grabbing items with their hands. The toaster had metal tongs next to it to remove the toasted items, as the knobs were missing. I'm fairly sure that using metal tongs along with a toaster, isn't a great idea. We felt horrible for the one and only person working the breakfast area. This solo employee had to keep it organized and clean, as there were many guests that were absolute slobs that were hoarding massive amounts of food, and then throwing most of it in the overflowing trash cans. Perhaps it's difficult to keep up with a few of the low class guests that are messy, loud and disrespectful of the property. For the high price, it's really not worth staying here.

Very nice hotel, recent decor. Close to amenities but the ideal is to be transported. About 25-30 minutes from Naples beach. Pleasant staff, very decent breakfast. Free parking. The rooms are spacious with equipped kitchen, top cleanliness. I recommend!
