Review of Hampton Inn Lakeland 2*

This hotel is in the final stages of renovation, but only offer the already-renovated rooms, which is 5/6th of the rooms, the final 1/6th is being renovated currently as of 01/02/16. They are really lovely, really well done. I stayed in a single king. Crisp white bedding on a comfortable mattress with 2 firmer pillows and 2 softer pillows, a loveseat with TV tray, a desk, microwave, TV, single-serve coffee maker, and refrigerator (all nicely tucked in the wooden entertainment unit). Shower pressure was great. Neutrogena branded soap/shampoo/cond/lotion. Complimentary makeup remover wipe, and a note for other offered toiletries you may need. Plenty of towels, nicely stocked. Bathroom door slides and doubles as a mirror/closet door, but not the cheesy version you're imagining. It's very well-built, heavy duty stuff. The sliding mirror door is several inches thick, and the mirror is elegantly framed. They really made some smart choices in the renovation process. Friendly tip for fellow hotel guests: there's a chain adjacent to the wall for window blinds (smooth solid fabric version) that are a little too well-hidden if you're exhausted! Location is very convenient for North Lakeland. We stayed there since a family member was in Hospice just down the road, but it's near great restaurants and in a location that is far enough off the road to be quiet, but it is still extremely efficient to travel to and from. I think they had a continental breakfast, but we went to cracker barrel a block away. Applebee's is also right next door to the hotel, and there's a convenient gas station right at the light before you get back on the road. Anyways, I highly recommend staying here!
