Hampton Inn Lakeland

Nice and clean

Convient

I go to Lakeland annually for about a week to watch the Detroit Tigers Spring Training games. I began doing this in 2003 and stayed at this Hampton. I have returned to Lakeland annually every year since 2008. I have not stayed at this Hampton Inn every year but the vast majority of times I did stay at this Hampton as it is very convenient to the Stadium for Tiger games. Probably 15 times over the past 18 years. I must say after staying here over a period 18 years, there were a few minor refurbishments completed, nothing major. Well, the age and lack of updates is now really showing. It needs a real remodel and updating. My wife complained last year and this year I had to agree with her. Because of the location, I would like to continue staying at this Hampton but without some serious updates, I will be choosing another place to stay. I hope they invest in this location and not continue to use it as just a cash cow with no investment.

Good

Hotel is ok. Carpet looks dirty and stained. Beds are comfortable. No housekeeping daily. A 4 night trip only had housekeeping once. Towels are not replaced daily but on request. Breakfast is good but boring. It filled me up though. Coffee is hot and quite good. Location was great for going to Publix stadium. Good restaurants are fairly close. It’s a pricey hotel for the lack of services and amenities. This was my second time staying there but I will find another hotel next time.

I like everything about this property. That's why we are back again

Easy room access, good continental breakfast, parking, and felt safe.

This is an excellent location to be near the highway (to Tampa and Orlando), and only 2 miles to Joker Marchant Stadium for spring training baseball. It’s right next to both an Applebee’s and a Cracker Barrel (but other more interesting dining options are not far). The hotel is a very normal Hampton Inn, clean if a little threadbare. Desk and breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. Housekeeping (every other day) does a nice job. Breakfast includes hot options including eggs, waffles, and oatmeal, as well as yogurt and fresh fruit. The outdoor pool area was nice, but the water was not heated, so too cold to swim. No views of anything other than roads and parking lots. A little pricey for a basic hotel, but no complaints.

Staff was exceptionally friendly and access to room was easy. Check in was stress-free. Parking was convenient. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. 24 hour coffee was appreciated

The room wasn't up to the Hampton Inn standard I was expecting. There were no glasses in the room, just paper cups. Basic no frills decor. Not enough bedside outlets. No cookies in the evening. Although I wasn't told up front that there was a pet fee, a $75 pet fee showed up on my bill. It took a phone call to the front desk to find the guide to the cable channels, which wasn't intuitive. Morning coffee was very weak
