Top Downtown Lakeland Hotel Reviews

The Terrace Hotel Lakeland, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at the Terrace Hotel in Lakeland. It is centrally located downtown next to Munn Park. There is plenty to do at this location. The restaurants are excellent especially Harry's. The staff including Rose and Jami are very friendly and helpful. The fitness center was good with everything I need. The gym is important to me and most hotels just don't cut it. I go to Lakeland every Labor Day is the Terrace Hotel is my GO TO spot to stay. Thank you so much for an excellent experience."
