First off I am a hotel snob. I can find something to complain about at any hotel I have stayed at…read more The Hampton Inn Colonial Parkway in Fort Myers is awesome. The staff is friendly and helpful. We stayed 8 days with 2 rooms. This hotel is clean. The housekeeping staff does an amazing job. They deserve raises. The person checking in is always helpful. Barbara Shott was there to great us on arrival. I was impressed by her willingness to help. I thought that maybe she was the exception but since then we have dealt with all the mangers and they are all great. The pool area is well kept. The complimentary breakfast is of the highest quality. The rooms are quiet. The air conditioners are whisper quiet and you don't heart people slamming doors all night. If I come back to Fort Myers I will stay here

I have stayed at this hotel before, but it's been awhile since it was when I tagged along on my…read morehusband's business trips. Check in was smooth. As a lifetime diamond member, my husband was even able to check in a bit earlier than we expected. Staff has been very nice and accommodating throughout our stay, by the way. Friendly. Our room with its king size bed and sofa was large. We always take advantage of the in room fridge and microwave. It looks freshly painted and decorated. The large screen TV is huge! The bathroom has a tub shower combination with shower curtain. The toilet seat is small and low, however. Lots of fluffy towels. Breakfast is included. My least favorite combo was the meal the first day -- a whites only egg something with greasy sausage pieces that look like a hot dog chopped up. The second day was a bit better with an omelet and sausage patties. Luckily they have waffles, cold/hot cereal, and breads to toast... One positive was the free bottled water provided. This was a nice amenity. We chose the hotel for its convenience. We were in town to watch our great grandson play in an invitational baseball tournament. And the fields were not far away. I'd stay here again.

We have tried Chicken Salad Chicks on the East coast and were happy to find this one here in Ft…read moreMyers to try for lunch. I had the Cranberry Kelli with Grape Salad and tomato bisque. It was very good and consistent with other meals we have previously enjoyed. Certainly worth seeking out and enjoying.

We have eaten at two other locations of this brand and liked it. While exploring lunch options…read morehere, we decided to try the fast casual restaurant hoping it would be as good. Luckily, it was. You order and pay at the counter. They give you a table number and bring your food to you. We both got the one scoop option of the Kelli -- which has almonds and dried cranberries mixed into the chicken salad. It comes with a choice of two sides. We both upgraded to soup for one of our sides. I got their chicken with wild rice soup which came out piping hot and was good (with a little added salt). He got the tomato bisque. There was a different extra charge for each soup. For our other side, I got their pasta salad and he got the sweet grapes. We have both had these before and knew we liked them. The plate also came with wrapped crackers, a pickle wedge, and a cookie. I'm so glad the chicken salad is not overly processed with too much mayonnaise. It's nice to know there is consistency among this brand at the different restaurants. I'm glad we stopped by.

I've been following along with Shift on IG for quite a few years now (since they were a coffee…read morecart/pop-up), and I've had them on my list to check out foreverrrr. I'm only in town a couple times a year and I don't always make it to the downtown area. During our most recent visit, we stayed at an Airbnb nearby and I finally got to visit Shift (YAY!)... What a great local coffee shop! The inside is cute & minimal and I loved the mural spanning the space. The staff was super friendly as we perused the menu, and my decision was easy once I saw that they have a seasonal fall menu featuring house made syrups. The carrot cake one immediately caught my eye, and I ordered a carrot cake latte. My husband got the classic pumpkin spice and yep, it was like drinking fall in a cup. It's so cool to see a gem like this reppin' the hometown. Also cool that they brew Bandit Coffee (out of St. Pete) which we are big fans of. Wishing them continued success and I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in the area!

My daughter has developed a taste for Matcha and every morning she craves for, lives for and…read moreconsumes Matcha. That is not a taste that I have any interest in developing as I would rather eat grass mixed with seaweed than sip on Matcha. Getting that out of the way, on a trip to Ft. Meyers, a request for Matcha was made and sure enough we spent the early morning yelping for Matcha and found this place. It looks fairly new and is part of an apartment t complex. The place is small, and sure enough the clientele fitted the Matcha seekers that have popped up in all urban areas. There were Lululemon' on display, women with tiny dogs, bodies that should all be on the cover of magazines and foreign cars in the parking lot. My daughter got her Matcha which set her on a high energy mood and excited for the rest of the day, so atleast I got something out of it. I did not want to be seen anywhere near a Matcha place so had my dark glasses on, a cap and stayed close to the entrance. My daughter did order me a chocolate chip cookie to make up for my misery and In all fairness it was really good. My daughter raved about her Matcha hence the 4 stars. So if you are craving Matcha, carry a small dog and fit in Lululemon clothing you have found your match!!
