Marco Island Lakeside Inn

Marco Island Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay here! The lady on check in was friendly and check in was quick and easy. The property is lovely! Well maintained rooms, we had a 2 bed which was perfect for us, our first night we ordered in and the small kitchen area has everything you would need and more! Our son enjoyed some time in the pool and our room was really close to it which was nice. We used Lyft to get around so we could both enjoy some drinks and we felt we were in a great location for getting about, would definitely stay here again if we were back in the area."
