Days Inn Hotels in Lakeland

My family stayed here for 2 nights while in town for a dance competition. There were 6 of us, so I booked what was described as a family room with 2 bedrooms, a living area and bathroom. When we arrived, the staff was friendly. We got to the room to find a single room with one king and one queen. Definitely not large enough for my family of 6, nor what was described during booking. We had to book a second room, making this trip over $1,000 for 2 nights! The rates had been increased due to the strawberry festival, which should be considered price gouging and be illegal. In terms of accommodations, the beds were comfortable. The pillows were standard pancake pillows. The shower was impossible for an adult because the straight curtain rod caused the curtain to suction to you. It was the equivalent of wrestling an octopus. The towels were insanely small and very rough. There was no ventilation fan in the bathroom either, so trying to get dressed in there after a steamy shower was difficult. The breakfast was extremely basic. No pancakes, waffles, english muffins, etc. They offered a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, blueberry muffin or stale toast. They had fruit cups, yogurt, hard granola bars, 3 types of cereal and oatmeal pouches. All in all, this is a pretty basic hotel. For the price that I paid, I expected so much more in all aspects. If I'm ever in the Lakeland area again, I definitely would avoid this location, just knowing that I could potentially get so much more from somewhere else.
