We were in Naples for one night during our vacation, and we had picked the Inn on Fifth due to location and the pictures of the rooms. It seemed like a nice boutique hotel that was close to everything. Unfortunately, our visit did not match our expectations, which is why I am going to be writing this review. When we pulled up to the hotel, the valet asked for our keys and if we needed any of our luggage to be taken by the bellboy to the room. We didn't need assistance, so we took the bags ourselves. While we were walking to the hotel, we heard a noise behind us and turned around to watch the valet pull away very quickly in our rental car. It surprised us, because later we discovered our car was in the parking lot by the hotel only a few feet away. We weren't quite sure why he drove off so quickly for such a short distance. Check-in was quick, and the lobby was beautiful, with art, crystal modern chandeliers, and marble. Our room was pretty as well, with art, marble, plush bed, and a private balcony. The view from the balcony, however, was less appealing, since it faced a side street and had no view of the water or foilage. Also, there was bird poop on part of the balcony and the seat of one of the chairs, so we had to turn the cushion over so I didn't sit in the poop. It was a rainy and stormy day, so we walked around the hotel to look at everything and didn't have a chance to go in the rooftop pool. The hotel was within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and we found an excellent Italian restaurant that had food to die for! Other than that, there was not a whole lot to do around downtown Naples. The stay at the room ended up being a sleepless night. The air conditioning didn't work properly, so we were hot at points during the night. My boyfriend said he was woken up by drunk guests at 12 or 1 am that were talking loudly and their voices were bouncing off the walls of the lobby up into our room. Apparently no one tried to quiet them down. Also, at around 7:30 am, he was woken up again by the sound of landscaping crews blowing off leaves near our room, which he could not understand why they were doing that so early near a hotel. We walked to breakfast at Starbucks, and when we walked outside, we noticed our car had been moved from the parking lot to the valet lane in front of the hotel. When we walked back from breakfast about an hour later, we noticed our car had been moved across the street to another lane. It was the most bizarre thing to see our car being moved around so much. I wish the visit was more enjoyable, considering how pretty the room and hotel were. But I hope this review is helpful for other fellow Yelpers.
