The Innlet

This was our first and last time staying here. We visit Gasparilla Island once or twice a year. This time we decided to try staying at the Inlet for our wedding anniversary. The room was basic and average at best. $150-170 tops. Not nearly worth the $288 + taxes/fees we paid. There are no elevators and no one offered to take our luggage up for us. Not a huge deal. I kept on seeing some kind of ant winged like bug as well within the room. The real problem was the bed. It was so hard it was like sleeping on the floor. It caused us both terrible lower back pain. My wife was in so much pain she was crying. We thought about sleeping in our vehicle but it was so hot out and we didn’t have much gas to be able to leave it running all night. There are also no black out curtains like most hotels have, only blinds that do very little to shut out the lights that shine outside of the room. All in all in was a miserable night and because neither of us got any sleep and were in pain we ended up heading for home that morning after checking out rather than going down to stay at Sanibel Island like we had planned. When I told the desk clerk at checkout about the terrible night and the bed situation he just told us the beds are new and other people like them rather than offering even any type of partial refund. They got our money and that’s all that mattered to them.

Simply the best! Right across the street from the dog friendly beach. Rooms are spotless, beds very comfy.

It was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Charming water front accommodations in great location - 3 minutes from town. The rooms are kept spotless and all the staff we encountered were polite & efficient. Free parking is always nice and hot coffee (best on the island since the 'Inn Bakery' fell victim to hurricane Ian) is available in the office. The property also has its own casual restaurant serving generous portions of good food.

As I write this, we are preparing to check out. Loved our stay here❤️ Perfect location, we love to walk and we got many miles in! The beach is great as well as downtown and all around!! Biggest surprise is it's pronounced "grand" when it's spelled Boca Grande! We slept SO well in the comfortable bed!! Perfect hot shower! Restaurant has DELICIOUS breakfast (omelet with potatoes and we chose scrumptious raisin toast). Waitress unbelievably good and memorable for her service and positivity. Beautiful bayou near which to totally relax. Staff amazingly friendly and efficient. Landscaping gorgeous and manicured. Most incredible is the CLEANING...immaculate and meticulous!! We have never experienced better. This place was a total delight and it even poured rain the first day! We are entirely grateful.

The location of The Innlet is wonderful. Overall we had a nice experience with the office folks and staff and for a waterfront location, the cost of the rooms is intriguing. My family and I had two rooms - one efficiency room and the junior suite. We stayed for two nights. The hotel is quite dated and showed many signs of wear and tear that could use some care and attention. The efficiency room had a constant smell of urine. The junior suite bathroom had poorly patched-up/painted areas where there may have been water damage. The bath faucet, drain, and towel racks all had visible rust - it really didn't look great or feel clean. There was a pretty bad ant issue (which they would have addressed quickly by spraying or using open Terra traps, but we weren't comfortable with using them as our toddler was in the room). A glass top was missing from one of the two nightstands and areas of the kitchen could also use some TLC and fixing. We knew it wasn't a Marriott or large chain hotel but were expecting a bit more out of the kitchen, especially since we paid more for the suite. No salt and pepper or anything "extra" - It was very bare-bones and we weren't prepared for that. I did leave something in the room and the front desk made sure to call and assist me in helping mail it, which was greatly appreciated.

This is a fantastic hotel IF--If you don't care about updated rooms. The hotel has a great little restaurant -- try this bay-dockside restaurant even if you don't stay here. Think of this as an upgraded Motel 6 with your boat out front. This is a fisherman's paradise. Take a look at the picture I posted. Now for the service and staff-- EXCELLENT. I had a hearing aid go bad and the front office found a way to fix it. Now that's SERVICE! NEXT We asked for an early check in and they told us it would be tough but got us in 30 minutes later and two hours before normal check in times. BOTTOM-LINE PET FRIENDLY---YES!!! Love the people Love the view Love the boats Love the fisherman talking Love the Wifi it was superb Great Kuerig coffemaker in the room JUST KNOW THIS Draw back and again this is if you want to stay in your room is that the rooms are older --but well kept. The doors don't close without slamming them. BUT--- If you have a boat and you want it right out front in your personal dock---this is a MUST STAY. If you have a pet--stay here too. Thanks again to the best staff and the cutest place with a dock for your boat and a view that is wonderful. Our two days here were perfect!...Service- View -Pet Friendly

The Innlet represents great value on an island It is Reasonably priced, clean and has comfortable rooms overlooking the bayou where breakfast and lunch is available at the Outlet restaurant either inside or outside overlooking the water. Many boat slips if you bring your boat, a boat launch ramp and a delicious pool that is walled, well maintained and private! Owned by the Gasparilla Inn, it is a delightful place to stay with an easy walk to the beach and it is dog friendly!

We love the Innlet! We stayed here in a recent trip to the area and it was absolutely wonderful. Clean rooms, friendly staff and guests. Quaint indoor and outdoor dining.

This is an awesome place to stay. It is waterfront, with some beautiful boats here, so the view from our room is divine. There us a nice outdoor pool that is enclosed for privacy. Nice kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator cooktop. We have stayed many places here, and although its hard to beat ocean front, the price is right.

We have now stayed at the Innlet multiple times. It is a Keys type motel with docks, boat ramp and great breakfast and lunch. Pet friendly and located close to downtown and within a short walk to a great stretch of Boca Grande's fabulous beaches. Clear water, white sand, bright sunshine, lapping water on the shore. We have enjoyed the Innlet very much. Quiet. Over looking waterways and natural habitat. Lots of space for your skiff, kayak or outback boat. There are a variety of room types so reservations are recommended. We always go for the second story double queen room with 2 burner stove, microwave and refrig although we are yet to use the stove because we zip downstairs for the best breakfast and pastries in the area - pancakes recommended or into town for dinner with the Pink Elephant our favorite. Staff is accommodating when you need them and invisible when you do not. The facility is old but very well maintained, clean freshly painted. Rooms clean and more than adequate. If they changed out the doors and placed louvered blinds on the windows you could close your eyes and pretend your in the islands. Yes they have TV but again like the stove hardly used. Then there is the water in Boca grande and its lighthouse and inlet. Something to behold. A sunset at the lighthouse is remarkable or across the road at the beach at the Innlet. The water is brilliant aqua green in the cuts as you cross the bridges to the island. - watch out for the speed bumps and the Gasparilla sheriff's radar. We have been up and down and around the west coast of Florida and this is an absolute favorite place with one exception. Ask about the red tide. You do not want to go at that time. Fishing and boating is great and in abundance with lots of tarpon and bone fish. It's a great destination and the Inlet is just plain comfortable.

We spent a fabulous weekend here this weekend. We were in town for a wedding and we wanted to find a more affordable place to stay over The Gasparilla Inn. This place was perfect! Here are the highlights: 1. The location is walking distance to The Gasparilla Inn/ like 4 blocks 2. The rooms are spotless and the beds are very comfortable 3. The employees are very friendly and accommodating 4. It is on the water 5. The price is very affordable 6. They have the best breakfast on the island I will always recommend this cute inn on Boca Grande Enjoy!

Quaint little place to come for breakfast. Good food and great service. Their special omelette was delicious - veggies and feta. I don't know if I've ever had feta in an omelette Setting by the water is so peaceful. Would definitely come back!

Very pleasant stay at the Innlet! This is one of the few places on the island to rent by the night, I hear. The room was clean. We had an efficiency, so had a fridge to store items. There are 2 doors, 1 that opens to the parking lot and pool area and the other to the dock/restaurant. Breakfast at the Innlet restaurant was an incredibly relaxing, island experience. The portion sizes for breakfast were generous - perfect for fueling up before a busy day.

I haven't stayed here, but have had great breakfasts on the water here on several occasions. Very good food, friendly service, recommend!

This hide-away restaurant is a real gem! Part of a small hotel, where you can dock your boat, and enjoy the phenomenal atmosphere with great food. Nothing fancy, but everything perfect! We had quesadeas, a Burger, and a steak sandwich. All were great! The Burger was exceptional, thick, jucy, and flavourful! All came with Fries which were perfectly crispy, and perfectly spiced. The portions were large, the service fast and friendly. A great place for a meal, or drink.

Just had breakfast there.Not a do over.weak coffee cream in prepacked cups food was mediocre again prepackaged cream cheese .Service curt wrong bill was delivered when we told waitress she made a comment that we should have just paid it..
