Top Downtown Lakeland Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Winter Haven Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, newly build or remodled. Very close to Legoland, super convinient."

Hyatt Place Lakeland Center

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was fine. It’s not right in town, kind of on the outskirts yet still close enough to make a short drive to pretty much anything. The biggest issue we had was loud neighbors. They played music until about 10pm which we were ok with but then they started it again at 4am!! I didn’t want to be that person and I’m sure we could hear it worse because of the adjoining door, but at 430am we finally decided to call the front desk. They came up and had to knock on the door a couple of times for them to finally answer and they turned the music off. Other than that, the room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We did appreciate them taking care of the music issue quickly."

LEGOLAND Beach Retreat

8/10 Good

"We were able to get an early check in and that was fantastic! My kids loved the room and the legos that were available for play. The room did smell very musty and there was a cockroach in the room, but that’s typical for Florida. The breakfast was delicious! We never used the shuttle because the hotel parking pass was accepted at the park so we decided to take our own vehicle back and forth. All in all, it was a good stay for what we needed!"
