Shell Island hotel guide. La Quinta Inn & Suites hotel in Shell Island, Florida

"Run of the mill room. Excellent staff. It was a good trip."

"The place was terrible, the pictures lured me in, but I refused to stay there and lost the money I paid for the stay."

"Ok"

"The happy hour and breakfast was really good! Beautiful property and amenities. "

"The room was clean. There was some cracking dry wall or maybe the drywall tape was coming off I'm not sure. We also were on the top floor, so might have cause that. Not a big deal. Didn't affect our stay. I have 2 main complaints. One being the housekeeping issue. You're on the beach. There's going to be so much sand, yet housekeeping will only come by and clean I think on the 3rd day? Or maybe that's when you can get towels without asking? A full clean on the 4th day. This is the BEACH. Like I said, there is so much sand everywhere that standard is so crazy to me. Our trash built up so badly. They have narrow medium sized trash cans but the elevator that barely fits anything that we shoved our trash in. Next is parking. I wouldn't stay here again because parking is crazy. Just my opinion. It probably isn't an issue for some. But I didn't love it. Otherwise breakfast was decent. They were late a few minutes opening each day we were there. So don't go before 7 because they probably won't be open. Not a big deal. Just wanted to note. They have different things as far as hot Food each day we were there. It overall wasn't terrible..but too expensive to not be al least checking on rokms each day. We pay premiums at this time of year..I kind of expected more for what I paid."

"Staff members are friendly and responsive. The elevators have long needed refurbishing. They are in poor condition and have a terrible smell. Rooms themselves are clean and comfortable."

"The hotel was very clean and staff was always working hard to keep things looking great! Beautiful clean pools and great beach access "

"The property was just as stated, right on the water, beautiful view, accommodating staff and nice breakfast."

"Quiet location with friendly staff. We went with several people so we're in several of the rooms and each of them were in need of a good cleaning. Many reviews mentioned lack of cleanliness but there were responses saying it was addressed so we took a chance. We knew it was older but clean it was not. Just painting the baseboards would help to dress it up a bit. But it was badly in need of sweeping and mopping in places besides the lobby and common areas. I wouldn't recommend or go back. And be aware, they direct you to the time share desk "to finish checking in.""
