Hyatt Place Lakeland Center

Hyatt Place Lakeland Center

8/10 Good
"The hotel itself was fine. It’s not right in town, kind of on the outskirts yet still close enough to make a short drive to pretty much anything. The biggest issue we had was loud neighbors. They played music until about 10pm which we were ok with but then they started it again at 4am!! I didn’t want to be that person and I’m sure we could hear it worse because of the adjoining door, but at 430am we finally decided to call the front desk. They came up and had to knock on the door a couple of times for them to finally answer and they turned the music off. Other than that, the room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We did appreciate them taking care of the music issue quickly."

"Wonderful staff. My kiddo needed to use the computer in the business center to do something quickly for school and the front desk staff was so helpful. The hotel was clean and continental breakfast was good. The bed was perfect!!!! I rarely sleep well at hotels because of the beds but I am already planning on returning here, the next time we travel to the area (and to other locations— fingers crossed they have the same beds :) ) since I know I will actually get to sleep through the night."
