Conty's Motel — Hotel in Lely

When lodging becomes UBER expensive in Naples, you'll be forced to make tough decisions about the lower tier motels. I'm now reviewing those for you - whereas reviews typically are limited to the grievances and whims of a reviewer for that ONE location, I am reviewing these lower tiers - like a "best of breed" assessment (breed being cheap motels).

If I'm staying in a cheap motel like Conty's, I want to see wood floors (not carpet - bedbugs can get out of control in carpet), mattresses that are not very old (again, bed bugs and other critter populations grow over time), and the maintenance of the room's against basic wear and tear like stains, etc (maintenance guy work).

Conty's is in my Top Three (of Naples "cheap" motels), mostly due to the "cultural" value it has (by "culture" - on many nights you'll find Cuban met outside with a barbeque. drinking wine, sometimes playing Dominoes or playing cards - etc.). I like the vibe created by these locals.

Conty's has an "open" feel that I like - meaning you can park in front of your room (if your car is full of valuables, need to carry stuff, etc). The upkeep in the rooms is not anywhere a place like the Hilton, but the floors are NOT carpet (at least not in the room I was in), the mattresses felt like they had (or were) losing their spring (they don't replace them frequently), but they were not dirty. The bottom of the cheap motel tier will often be so ridden with bedbugs that you can feel them biting you when you're just hanging out. Not with Conty's.

Location is not exactly central, but depends on what you want to be near. On Tamiani - about 5+ miles west of exit 101 (I-75), this is not a convenient location for the interstate warriers.

But if you have a reason to be in this area, you're not going to find another motel in this price tier that is adequate. If you came across Conty's because it's one of the few remaining locations with vacancy that is affordable - you may want to look at Spinnaker's (right off I-75 and Pine Ridge) if the central location is of any value. It takes a good minute to get to Conty's and there is really nothing out there and it is a trip to get to and from anywhere else - WITH THE EXCEPTION of downtown / 5th street (about 10-15 min drive - straight shot down Tamiani).

I'll come back in the future and edit this when I have more insights. Message me if you have...

At first, I saw the reviews and thought “this might not be good” but I was so wrong! I’m not sure why everyone was so crazy in the reviews, one person complained about the pillows? And an outlet not being by the wall? Well there’s nice pillows in here. An outlet in the wall. The place is SO clean! Typical mom and pop FAMILY motel - so don’t expect it to be the Hilton!! For a refrigerator and microwave to be in the room was a blessing since I brought leftover iHop. Inside the office, they were a bit strict on wearing a mask and although I disagree, I’m sure many older guests might like that. The rooms are actually aired out between guests and they use a machine to remove oxygen! How cool! The cable TV is better than the last hotel I went to (I’ve been to 3, the days inn, vista, and now here). The remote is wrapped in plastic which at first I thought was funny, but they actually probably clean them after every use!!! So they clean the plastic and no liquid goes in the remote. You really get care and love from this location and they value us customers. I even asked about the reviews, and before taking my money, was reminded of a no refund policy! It was great! You know, some people just love to complain, but someday I would like to own a motel like this and I can’t say that there’s anything I would do better. There is wifi too and the AC blows cool! Nice tile shower and For this area it is a fair rate. -G

Edit: no bugs spotted - but I DID see one at a different much larger hotel! So I will vouch they are clean - bugless and if I see one I will edit this review. Hard in wet Florida to not have bugs and I am visiting in feb so I think what they should do is when they air out the rooms before a guest comes, put a screen door so nothing can jump in!!!

Edit: 10pm approximately I unfortunately saw a roach scurry around the trash can. This needs to be handled ASAP and is much more important than covid masking. Roaches crawl through trash, sewers, and all over the floor. To sleep in a room and maybe wake up to a roach in bed would not be a good morning. Also, checkout is at 10am, an hour earlier than any other place… wifi signal also REALLY bad.. so, -2 stars brings it to 3 stars :/

UPDATE: 1130 and went into bathroom. Saw 2 more roaches then a third on the sink. Now have to sleep with bathroom closed… this is crazy for $140 it should be $49

Slumlords are generally irresponsible landlords who spend little or no money and effort maintaining their rental properties. One of the worst is Geraldine Contis of Naples fl Conty's Motel, Taking advantage of her renters by robbing them, trespassing, and breaking agreements! She is a generally irresponsible landlord who cares nothing about her customers. I was rented a room so dirty i had to throw away 2 plastic grocery bags of garbage and dirt, there were holes in the wall broken funiture and Im not even going to get on the infestation of ants and roaches. HUGE waste of money now I am going to smalls claims court for the items that were stolen from my room so on top of the disgusting rooms and horrid owners now I have to deal with smalls claims court for over $300 personal items. I recently also found out she has 3 sexual offenders she has been renting to for a long period of time so not a good place for familys, However I did watch 2 drug deals go on and the police are never far away with the crime rate in that area, I know I had to call them when Mrs.Contis stole my belonging which WERE IN FACT RECOVERED BY POLICE the items which were not recovered is the reason for smalls claims court which I have 2 officers statements so I got this one in the bag. While staying there my bicycle was stolen from in front of my door @ 3pm and I called the police and made a report so the officers came out for MY statement and she told me I had to much police action at my house? WHEN SOMEONE STOLE FROM ME? My opinion THE WORST PLACE EVER TO LIVE, DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA. STAY AWAY!!! NASTY OWNERS FILTHY BUG INFESTED ROOMS AND YOUR DOG WILL CATCH FLEAS BECAUSE MINE DID.

These Criminal Acts Constantly happen all over the U.S.A., Some Cities & States, are worse than others, never be afraid to speak up you could be saving someone else the time and pain you had to endure due to slumlords such as the ones who...
