Travel tips
The hotel's location off I-4 makes it convenient for driving to both Downtown Lakeland (about 4 miles) and Joker Marchant Stadium (about 2 miles), so a rental car or personal vehicle is recommended for getting around. Guests planning to visit farther attractions like Circle B Bar Reserve, Safari Wilderness, or Fantasy of Flight should budget 20-30 minutes of driving time each way. Early risers with weekday travel plans can take advantage of the free grab-and-go breakfast bags before heading out.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the quality of the food and service, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the comfort of the custom-designed beds. The lobby and breakfast cafe are also noted positively for their clean, welcoming atmosphere. Family travelers have used the hotel during difficult circumstances such as attending funerals, suggesting a calm and accommodating environment. However, at least one review raises a serious concern about a credit card fraud incident tied to a stay, along with dissatisfaction over how hotel management handled the situation and communicated about check-in security practices.
