Stayable Lakeland

The hotel is very outdated. I was told a few college students lived there, but it was more than college students. We woke up numerous times to people screaming at night or just walking around by the room.

I didn’t bother to arrive the property,,, How can be possible that in two different days I tried to contact Front Desk (on regular business hours)? And no answer from them. The hotel did made all charges on arrival day AM, which I don’t mind. What did pissed me off is to be charged in advance for the security deposit… without having arrived to the property. Finally, somebody called me at 11pm to hurry up for arrival… I did not show off. Probably I will lose the total charges… so consider that a donation on my behalf to sustain your operation. Deposit must be returned to my account.

It was okay for what it was but the pictures did not look like what they have posted. They expected one floor lamp to light up the whole room.

Where do I start….the lady at check-in, Kate, was very nice and she said that she had upgraded me for the 2 nights that I was staying there. The room did not seem like an upgrade: it did have a microwave and 3/4 size refrigerator, but the front door would not lock upon exit from the room (they did come out the next day to resolve), but the TV never worked and I asked them to change batteries in the remote. They did, but the TV never was able to turn on - I’m surprised that they didn’t check it before they left. The hotel property is, I believe, a Section 8 property as there were a constant mix of people milling about the parking lot at all hours and a lot of grubby, noisy kids roaming the passageways constantly. Very noisy. Also, a lot of homeless folks are camped out directly in front of the property at an abandoned car wash. They sleep in the bays. No front desk personnel after I checked in - a note on the door said the front lobby doors are inop, but still no sign of anyone even as the sign says to go around the corner to the security window. The beds have mattresses that are shot in my “upgraded” room and not even a plastic cup! No chair at all, just two queen beds. Upgrade must be a relative term. Noisy people staying there - my second night I was awakened by loud, drunk or stoned, people making a ton of noise with no regard for others. I will never in my worst moment ever stay at this property again! I would rather sleep in my car.

Very nice room. Absolutely no complaints there. The only issue is the amount of cigarette butts outside our room. I know that this is an ongoing problem but it should be taken care of on a daily basis. We have been here for 4 days now and no one has cleaned the parking lot or the cigarette butts. I give 5 stars everywhere except the lot.

No tissue once you booked in they treat you like a resident that been there for years you get no more tissue you pay for extra sheets and towels and wash clothes

Good luck finding anyone at front desk doors usually locked no hours posted. Roach infestation. Electric would go off whenever we would use the microwave. Is a cheap place to stay but don’t expect Anything extra at all! It’s not a regular hotel!!!!!!!!

Very dirty and not worth any penny spent. Roaches and termites all over, my feet were black after walking on the floors, dirty towels, broken appliance and fixtures. Mold and water damage. Parking lot destroyed and full of potholes. Staff was never at desk and never answered calls. Fridge was not working so all our food went bad. We had to leave early for a family death and the reservation desk refused to refund me. Worst place ever.

As soon as I arrived to the area and mind u it was day time, I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. When I finally went to the room to sleep I had to leave because there was bugs on the bed and floor.
