    There is not much about Bartow that screams 'great stay' EXCEPT this hotel. I was on a business trip and while I'm not from the area at all, the Holiday Inn Express was damn right impressive considering Bartow is probably walking distance to cows. There really is not much to choose from. My room was a great home away from home: the desk with the leather chair, the comfy bed, the lap desk to write on (my favorite!) and even the complimentary cookies at the front desk made me fit right in. The pool was decent, although small and the bathrooms were not outside (don't forget your room key to re-enter). The staff was super sweet. The complimentary breakfast was not so great but how can anyone really gripe over free?! I wouldn't touch the eggs again but all other options were alright. FYI: Long mirror, iron with board, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner with soaps, tv view for both beds, coffee maker and microwave with fridge. Update: 2.4.13 There is a few food options nearby- Checkers, Cvs has alcohol and munchies, Fred's Southern Kitchen, Ruby Tuesday and Dominos.

    Nice holiday inn hotel. Typical for a Holiday Inn and this class of hotel. Lobby area clean and renovated. My room was typical of this chain although it showed signs of wear and age. Fairly clean room but typical stains on carpet, grime in bathroom on floors in corners, shower head had scale build up. Lots of wall patch and paint repairs noticeable as paint colors for patches in room and bathroom not a great match. Could use a little updating and upgrade in rooms.

    Homeless people sleeping in the hall, smelled like raw sewage.

    We stayed one night, June 19 2020. All amenities were closed, they put us across the hall from a bunch of young adults who were coming and going all night long, keeping us awake and making us a little scared to leave the room. The next morning we opened the door to leave and the hallway smelled like a sewer and there were people sleeping in the halls. The girl at the front desk said it was not her fault and no one will let us make a complaint. The breakfast bags had pre-opened oatmeal in them making us throw out our breakfast. A horrible stay and the management does not care. I have photos of the people sleeping in the hallways. We took our business to the Hampton Inn and loved every minute there! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE - It is a dive!

    Sadly, I have to give the Hampton in Bartow only 2 stars. The breakfast was great and the staff…read morewas friendly. Well, most of them. My Airbnb cancelled upon arrival in Florida so I was left to find lodging same day last minute for 4 nights. We had plans to go to Legoland for a couple days so staying in winter haven was the plan. Arriving at the hotel, it was 9pm, there were 2 people working, they were both speaking Spanish helping one person. There were 3 of us in line. After about 10 minutes it appears to be my turn. I check and ask if there is a double queen available. She said not today but she could check tomorrow. Fine. We wake up to a bug infestation - really fast moving ants that kindof look like spiders. We pack up, call the front desk, they say they will move us. We were gone for the day and when we return,we have a new king room. Mind you, we are still looking for a double queen. It's still not available, maybe tomorrow. Ok... Day 3, we call to see if we can get a double queen for the remaining 2 nights. This person says no, you've already moved rooms once, so no. Really? We moved rooms because YOU have bugs. F*^% you. The pool has a ton of hair on the floor. The rooms aren't very clean. The chaise lounge has stains all over it. One of the two elevators is out of service. The location is good because there are stores and places to eat within walking distance. There's a dollar store in case you forgot something. Thankfully, I will never return to this part of the country so I never have to see any of these things again.

We had a king room, which was nicely furnished, had lots of surface space for luggage, a desk and comfortable chair, an easy chair, and 2 ottomans. There was a floor safe inside the armoire. The bed was comfortable and there were choices of firm or soft pillows. Each of the nightstands had outlets, and there were wall-mounted sconces above the nightstands. The room and bathroom were very clean. Toiletries were Dove brand. Breakfast was better than at many similar hotels. There were more choices of hot items (for example, turkey sausage and pork sausage), and the cinnamon rolls were wonderful. The coffee was dispensed from Costa machines that are always available in the lobby, and it was actually good. Both decaf and regular coffee were available and ground freshly each time. The person taking care of the breakfast area was very diligent in keeping it clean and well stocked. There was a reasonably-priced guest laundry on the 2nd floor. Quarters are needed, and these and detergent are available in the lobby. My only complaints are that the self- closing room doors were quite loud, the bed was high (be careful getting out!), and our room was on the first floor adjacent to the pool. The lighting at the pool was on all night and impossible to completely block out with the curtains. Also, hot water supply was lacking between about 7-7:30 am both days of our stay. All in all, we had a good stay and would consider returning if in the area again.

    Clean, great air conditioning, and even better coffee!…read more The staff were accommodating, the rooms were very clean, and it's in a great location. We have been very impressed by Holiday Inns on the east coast. And of course, the great coffee at Holiday Inn!

The staff was very accommodating when I booked our reservations; we secured the block rate as well as connecting rooms with an early check-in. Despite many of these requests, the staff was helpful to fulfill my requests and with courteous disposition. There is plenty of parking on site. The hotel is central downtown, and a short drive from the heart of Lakeland. They offer complementary breakfast throughout the week. There is a store where you can buy general items throughout your stay. Everything looks newly built, and most importantly, clean. The front desk staff was very courteous and responsive during our stay. During late night hours, you cannot enter the building without a room key, so I felt safe overnight. I requested connecting rooms for my family and my parents, who were looking after our baby while we were at the wedding. Our room was a king suite, with an extra large bed, standing shower, toilet, and living room with pull-out couch. My parents' room was handicap accessible with a roll-in shower, extra large toilet area, with double beds and a pull-out couch. Both rooms were clean and spacious. The living room area was large enough to set up our pack-n-play crib for baby. The SpringHill Suites by Marriott is a clean and spacious hotel to book your stay in Lakeland. We enjoyed our stay and its central location. I recommend for your next trip to Lakeland!

If in Canada, fine, look up Taboo, but they only have one golf course. Fire up the boys and get them out here to enjoy an incredible golfing experience. Fine, bring the ladies too; the underground caves Spa with multiple pools is unreal. They call the area BONE VALLEY - look it up. I've had a residence in Florida for 25 years and never knew of the history in central Florida. Look up Hernando de Soto who camped here in the 1500s. Crazy. They found Megalodon teeth on site when mining for phosphates that is now exhibited in the lobby. Resort Hotel is spectacular. The rooms are fantastic - the floor to ceiling wood louver doors are out of bounds. I had a large studio suite overlooking the pool facing west. The architect deserves an award. The roof deck has two separate bar options "gaming" or "sophisticated" lounging. Cigars welcome on the decks and they sell great brands if you forgot to plan ahead. Golf. Well, the golf like nothing I've played before. Need to play it to believe it. Our caddie, we were lucky to get paired with him, a Jamaican who knew his way around a course... Delroy Cambridge. Thank you for taking care is us. Restaurants. Ridiculous. Too many venues to review here and now honestly. The best was the steakhouse. I'd drive an hour to dine here. Two of us had the filet entree- the sauce was stupid, lobster escargot, chicken entree, two salads, service was wonderful (at all locations). Just go.

    Review - Lakeland, FL (3855 Don Emerson Dr.)…read more I stay in hotels constantly for work and typically choose brands like Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn, and similar business-class properties. This is not a hotel I would normally book, but I gave it a chance. First, credit where it's due: Drew at the front desk was excellent. Friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful during check-in. He did a great job and represents the hotel well. One of the housekeepers I interacted with was also very kind. That said, the property itself is clearly worn and not very clean. There was dirt on the floors in the elevator and hallways, the walls are scuffed and dirty, and the room itself was just okay at best. You can hear people clearly through the walls, and because of the courtyard layout, noise carries easily. There was a party nearby that was impossible to ignore. I was still prepared to stay a couple of nights and deal with it. My colleague was scheduled to remain here for roughly nine weeks for a project, so we were willing to tolerate the condition for convenience. The problem came when our client left early and postponed the project until Monday, forcing me to return to the hotel mid-day and request an early checkout. The front desk staff tried to help, but the General Manager refused to come out and speak to me, choosing instead to stay behind closed doors and deny any flexibility. Charging a full additional night--not a half day, but a full night--under these circumstances is incredibly shortsighted, especially for a frequent traveler with elite status. A half-day charge would have been reasonable. Waiving the charge entirely would have been smart business. Instead, that decision caused us to move our entire team to the Hilton Garden Inn next door, which is cleaner, quieter, competitively priced, and includes breakfast. Congratulations--you may have made about $100 today, but you lost thousands of dollars in future business. I was willing to put up with the condition of the hotel for a short stay, but poor leadership and rigid, guest-unfriendly policies are a dealbreaker. Refusing to even meet a loyal guest face-to-face is unprofessional and frankly rude. In summary: * Staff like Drew are excellent * The property is rundown and noisy * Cleanliness needs improvement * Management is inflexible and shortsighted I would not recommend this hotel, and I will not return. Travelers who value cleanliness, reasonable service recovery, and professional leadership should look elsewhere. FYI, right next-door there's a Hilton Garden Inn. It's nice gorgeous and it has conference rooms and breakfast so we just decided to move there for better quality but I'm glad that GM made an extra hundred dollars. Congratulations.
