CRUISE ON UP

As it is bounded on three sides by water, it’s hardly a surprise that the other lodge by (almost) the same name — Shipwreck Motel on Estero Island, just off the coast of southwest Florida — welcomes any guests who arrive by boat. The motel even has a special dock for them. Boats aside, it’s a bona fide, neon-lit motel in the classic American tradition: the amenities include heated pools (two), an ice machine, a laundry and a picnic area — with what we would call braais. From $104. ● motelfortmyersbeach.com.
