The Inn on Fifth is right in the midst of things, on a block filled with restaurants, ice cream parlors, outdoor cafes and all kinds of shops. Once checked in, there is no need to take your car out until going home. Fifth Avenue is the main street of Naples, Florida, and it is hopping!
We arrived shortly after New Years and the elaborate Christmas displays were still up, with dramatic and beautiful effect. The Inn on Fifth is known for their extraordinary holiday decorations around the property. The main courtyard in the hotel was decorated with a silver tree bedecked with lights, ribbons and elegant ornaments and lined with hundreds of bright red poinsettias. Figurines of Santa, his Christmas elves, and happy carolers complete the festive lobby. This is the main photo op for visitors during the season.
Checking in, we were delighted to find a staff that was extremely attentive and eager to please. Questions were answered and assistance given like it was their pleasure to do it, a service we greatly appreciated in these nonchalant days. Another feature we found even more valuable was the hotel’s complimentary valet parking. Most hotels these days consider parking a significant profit center with daily fees up to $36, so this hotel immediately felt especially warm and welcoming.
The Inn on Fifth is exceptional in other ways, too. Basically a charming boutique hotel with 87 rooms and suites, it offers features of larger hotels including state-of-the-art fitness center, full-service spa, roof-top pool and hot tub, golf privileges at local courses, and two restaurants, both of which are among the most popular in town.
McCabe’s Irish Pub & Grill is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and we found it always crowded with happy revelers. Trulucks is a seasoned seafood and steak restaurant with an outdoor patio and piano bar that is always cool and crowded, no matter the temperature outside. Hang out here for lots of fun with locals and tourists. We did and loved it.
Ensuring guests the utmost comfort, each accommodation is feature-rich with pillow-top mattresses, oh-so-soft high-thread-count bedding, plush robes, movies, 25" TV’s complimentary newspapers, safes, 3 telephones and wi-fi.
Our room was a great high-ceiling space with sitting room, desk area and adjoining bedroom with outside balcony. The balcony had comfortable lounge chairs which we enjoyed while viewing holiday strollers along Fifth Avenue. The bathroom was very large with a huge whirlpool bath and a separate double shower. The whirlpool, with scented candles and a chilled bottle of champagne hit an 11 on the 1 to 10 romance scale with Marilyn.
With a keen eye on guest comfort, The Inn on Fifth offers the intimacy of a charming boutique inn with the amenities of a much larger hotel. We felt coddled and cared for at the crest of the Christmas season. Ask Santa to send you and your sweetie here for a real holiday treat! Whatever the season, just grab your honey and head on over to make any day a special occasion at this fabulous Naples getaway.
