Hotel is very dated, No quality ventilation and old carpets. Staff is Amazing, one young concierge was exceptional. It seems it’s under new management, restaurant was closed and turned into a flee market (bad idea) retail stores and gift shop in lobby closed and full of old decorations. Thai is a budget friendly hotel, with limited to no options of a great bygone era. I hope they can bring it back ! But absolutely not with current management, they clearly do not have a clue.

My crew told me it was the worst place they've stayed for work in Central Florida. Unfortunately, there are very few smaller hotels in the area!

DIRTY SHEETS AND ROACHES This place is disgusting and way overpriced. The whole hotel reeks and smells musty. I know this is Florida but the other 6 hotels I’ve stayed at in Florida have never smelled like this. They give one singular sheet for your bed and on top of that, mine were stained with blotches and little black dots, the closet door was broken, the glass was cracked, but worst of all they had roaches in the bathroom that crawled behind the mirrors. I ended my stay early and was told that they’d get back to me with a refund but since then they have blocked my number and are an absolute scam.

When I arrived (for my reservation) there was a sign that said “be right back”; after waiting 20 min, I called a number that was taped to the wall. I left a voicemail saying I was at the front desk and there were others there too (2 others came after me). After another 15 minutes I called again and was sent straight to a full voicemail. Shortly after I received a text saying “what do you want?” So I responded I was trying to check in for my reservation. Another 10 min passed and a guy came down the elevator. Believe me, had I not had a reservation I never would have tolerated; coupled with the town was booked up for state championships. The entire facility was gross, had mold everywhere, stains in the tub (so disgusting I wouldn’t even shower) and I was terrified I would end up with bedbugs from the whole feel of the place. I would strongly encourage you to not post this place on your website—you shouldn’t encourage anyone to stay here.

Misleading Advertising
The online photos are not truly representative of what the actual building looks like. The building is old and not well kept. Upon my arrival, the chap at checking was also working as the handyman and his clothing was filthy. During the night, my neighbor smoked in the bathroom and a trip to the bathroom was met with the choking, filthy odor of the cigarette smoke. With a little effort, this hotel could become a wonderful in the area.

Pretty decent place for the money compared to other places around Lakeland. Older facility, but no issues with the room at all. Pretty large facility, and I may have been the only one staying there. Internet was slow and no real amenities at the hotel. No management or representative in the building between 10 PM and 10 AM. Was a very quiet place to stay.

Key card did not work so they asked me to inform them when I would return to let me into room. Due to language barrier, there was extreme difficulty communicating with staff. There was no TV remote or phone in the room so had to use cell phone to call front desk which would not answer until the 3rd call. The pool was "temporarily" closed but looked like a bomb had hit it. Multiple stains on room carpet. Killed a baby roach in the bed. Experience was so unpleasant, I chose to leave without staying for second night.

Checking in took about 30 minutes. They couldn’t find anyone reservation- I booked two nights and when we had came back to my room after a long day, the key no longer worked because they only booked us for one night. Luckily someone was at the desk and fixed it in no time. We had a couple of roaches in our room, other than that we slept pretty soundly and no one bothered us.

Run from this place! Fast!
Well, this was THE definition of a dingy hotel. I don't think I have stayed a worse hotels and I travelled the 3rd world a lot. It looks like the last upgrade was done in the early 1990s judging by the style of carpet and furniture. Where do I start? -dead roaches in the hallway -worse stained hallway carpet ever -dried vomit in the corner in hallway -damaged wall corners in hallway and elevator lobby -dirty carpet in room, you dont want to take off your shoes - the pull-out couch mattress was detached from the frame and had 2 large brown stains on it the spring frame for the pull-out bed had so many missing springs that the mattress would just slump out of it, had to put it on the floor instead -shower had stains and mold. -no breakfast options whatsoever besides a coffee maker in the room - the good: toilet was clean, bed sheets were clean, AC worked.
