It was the most peaceful, relaxing, private, coziest room I have ever stayed in my life. It was perfect for me. I loved the shower and how the whole room was set up! The mattresses on both of the beds were the softest, comfortable, wake up refreshed,need one of them for home type sleep I have ever had. The owners and the Services were spectacular and they were the nicest,most polite, caring, compassion having people I have ever came in contact with.

The rooms are updated and clean, I have not seen one bug dead or alive anywhere on property.! I cannot stress how rarely you'll run into a hotel like that around lakeland, especially within the same price range. I also feel super safe at night with the bright lights that come on outside every door when it gets dark. The whole motel lights up . Downtown is directly beside the motel so the location is perfect to explore lakeland. I'm pretty impressed and definitely recommend staying here . Family or business trip alike it is a great find .

The workers are friendly and some of the rooms are nice. No bugs, comfortable beds. The view is beautiful over Lake Wire. The price is a little high for what they offer or I would've given it more stars. It's 3/31/18 today and it's a wonderful view here.
