We were panicked and running from Hurricane Milton when we found a room at the Sea Lord. Richard, Tatiana and the rest of the staff of this hotel are amazing. They were currently undergoing a major renovation, but knowing the residents of SW Florida needed someplace to go, they opened rooms up that might not otherwise have been ready to rent. I absolutely applaud them for that! Every hotel we saw was under some kind of renovation or another, this is off-season, and that's the time they have to do it. Was the pool under construction, yes - who cares - there is a gorgeous beach and beautiful ocean right out your back door! We know they were understaffed, but we would not have noticed. They did anything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We live on the coast, so going to the East coast would probably not have been a thought for us as a getaway, but it will be in the future, and it will be at the Sea Lord. It was outstanding!
