Lakeland RP Funding Center Hotels

"They advertise breakfast but the only thing they have is Cereal, 2 apples, milk , coffee and orange juice. The staff was friendly. It is very old building that needs attention. I would not stay there for vacation. It was the cheapest motel available closest to Tampa. We used it to stay bc Tampa hotels were booked or way overpriced for our cruise. They had 3day concerts plus competitions going on that’s what it was booked It took 40 mins to get to the cruise port so that may be an option if you need one."

"The front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful at checkin. Tony was on the evening shift at check-in. The morning crew were just as awesome. Breakfast was out and was hot and very good. The rooms and hotel were very clean. Iused to workout room in the morning and again very clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel"

"The experience was top notch from the arrival to the departure. Clean , organize and safe property conveniently located to everything possible. The staff and team members were very polite and cosice , could ask for more of a fluid seamless system they have conquered!"

"While there were many positives regarding my stay, everything seemed cheap. The blankets, the pillows were terrible, the toilet paper, the incredibly loud doors slamming shut every time someone left or entered their room….not worth the price. And the food was god awful. Those were not scrambled eggs, at least not from this planet. Up your game, Marriot, or lower the price and pay your staff better. The staff were nice and courteous. Pay em more."

"The property is dated and could use refurbishment and it's underway. Mostly it needs to be brightened up by repainting and the carpet removed and or replaced. However, everything was clean including bedding, floors and furnishings. It was an older Ramada Inn with their older dark colors. My wife and I never felt uncomfortable and would/will stay there in the future. It's location is in an area of low income spread. We read all previous ratings before going there. I can only say it's obvious to us the poor ratings are largely prejudicial for feeling uncomfortable due to it's location within the low income sprawl. I know this because I was raised within a block of the hotel 65 years ago. All said, why spend 3x or 5x the money to stay elsewhere? Frankly it's stupid! There is a high fence around the sides and back of the property with barbed wire that might be intimidating to some people. Some might think it's to keep people from coming onto hotel property. However, a close look reveals the fence has been constructed to prevent people from entering the adjacent business (not residential) properties when they are closed. Refurbishment is underway but slow due to the high cost. All I can say is don't write it off based upon comments by people who tried to take advantage of their policy of allowing a pet. The bad ratings was the result of a renter not disclosing the fact they had more than a dozen dogs that were part of a dog show. "

"Clean, good location and felt safe. Would not hesitate to stay here again."

"Our stay was wonderful. The decor is so warm and comforting. The location is convenient to downtown. It was the perfect spot to stay in town for our daughter's graduation. "

"We have a daughter at Florida Southern College, so the location could not have been better situated for visiting with her and also being close to Lakes Morton and Hollingsworth, as well as downtown (farmers market, Harry's, etc.). The space was all ours, was very clean, and well-equipped had we wanted to cook meals. The TVs (one in living room and one in bedroom) had streaming services already available (or we could have logged into our own accounts). It was nice to have a washer and dryer, and the shower was modern and wonderful (huge rainfall shower head along with separate hand-held wand). We will likely return the next time we're in town! Edgar was also very responsive and friendly when trying to communicate re: check-in, etc."

"Perfect little place to stay while we were in town for a few days. Would definitely rent here again. Great location, clean and comfortable."
