Baymont Inn And Suites Lakeland

Don’t bother! First room we were shown reeked of dog smell so we were taken to a second room. It only had one sheet on one of the beds! Tissue box empty, the sheets that were there were so wrinkly it looked like the entire Russian army had already slept in them… maybe they had!

Hotwire you got me again. Not even worth the $ 77 I paid. Needs refurbishing and the beds are hard and has the worst pillows ever. Shame on you

Booked hotel for last minute trip to visit friends. Upon arriving staff was decent and lobby looked clean. I chose this hotel online due to the price and location. I was mildly impressed by the room. King bed, comfy chair, and very spacious, but in the morning, more was noticed.
As I went to wash my face, I noticed a strange build up on sink. I wiped my finger across it and a layer of grimy build up came off on my finger. I was grossed out. I took a quick moment to wash the sink myself before using.
Next I went to make a delightful pot of coffee. As I removed the instructional sign I noticed it was sticky. As I further inspected the sign, I realized there were weeks, if not months, of built up dirt on it. Not dust… GRIME! Being the anal OCD person, I continued to examine the coffee maker. I shouldn’t have. Inside the water reserve, there was more dirt, hair (from a region of the body that will be left to the imagination), dust and the same dust to grime build up found everywhere else.
Now I am really looking over the hotel room as my families 30 year family business is in hotel, timeshare and commercial cleaning. Other things found was dirty food on microwave plate, stains on the dust ruffle, and a few more things.
I stay in hotels all the time and knew not to expect my usual higher end hotel, but seriously? I paid more money to stay at this one just to not have this situation at the local cheaper chains. In this case I got less than adequate. All I expect from these places is a clean and comfy place to crash a night or two. The bed was comfy but the cleanliness was less than acceptable.
Went to front desk upon check out, they were busy with guests so I just decided to contact their corporate offices instead. Sanitary cleaning is not just something nice to have, but a safety requirement that we should ALL demand.
I gave this hotel 2 stars only for the bed, location, and that’s it. Good luck with your stay here.

Sorry folks. I have to tell it like is. This place needs a renovation. We stayed in room 131. The whole first floor was roughed up. Lots of bangs, bumps, smudges and dirt on walls, baseboards and door frames. Also, I need a workout to get the kinks out after a long drive. Stayed for 4 nights; exercise room never opened.
Positives: a nice staff at the desk. Good rate and location.

Our stay was pleasurable. We are a team of students from Florida Intl Univ who came to compete for SAE Aero Design.
