Top Downtown Lakeland Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Lakeland Center

10/10 Excellent

"Would stay there again clean nice place near down town"

Legoland Florida Hotel

8/10 Good

"Proximity to Legoland can't be beat - very convenient. Disappointed with check in - we were given a key card with a QR code on the back and were told that everything we need to know is on there. Couldn't find wifi password. Didn't find out about complimentary breakfast until our last day. Breakfast was surprisingly good and all you can eat (didn't care for the grits). QR code essentially takes you to Legoland webpage."
