Top Downtown Lakeland Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Lakeland

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place to stay. Clean room and friendly staff. I will definitely stay there again."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Winter Haven FL

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The room was spacious, very clean, and the beds were comfortable. The exterior of this property looks kind of rundown. It is a very old hotel with that being said the room was very clean and very comfortable. The lobby was also clean. The staff was very helpful."

Extended Stay America Premier Suites Lakeland I4

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night. The hotel was clean, you can see they need updates in their decor, rooms, and lounge area, but the areas were well maintened and clean. We understand it's an extended hotel so most of the people that are staying there are for more than one night and stay for weeks or months. The hotel staff were very friendly. The room was VERY clean and the hotel and hallways smelled so good and clean."
