My sister and I went to visit my aunt that has dementia. We were very impressed with the cleanness and the excellent customer service. The kitchen lady was awesome and complimented us and the front desk person called and set me up on the awards program. It was a wonderful experience. Thank all of the workers at the best western in winter haven.
I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member. I enjoy staying at different properties across Hilton's portfolio. On a recent leisure Amtrak trip I decided to visit Winter Haven, and chose this property as it appeared relatively close to the station and nearby many chain restaurants. The walk between the station and the hotel looked to be a little dangerous, as there are no sidewalks on the road west of US 17. So I called Uber, and a short ride brought me to this hotel. I had checked in online the day before and chose my room, so I went directly there upon arrival using the Digital Key. The room was certainly ample for my needs and provided a good night's sleep. The bathroom was clean and had good counter space. No issues with hot water. The area is a busy commercial district, and as such there was a lot of traffic making it difficult to cross the street when going to my dinner place of choice. Spring Break in Winter Haven? Breakfast in the morning was good and it tided me over until my next meal back on the Amtrak train later on. Since I had enough time and the weather was beautiful, I decided to risk walking carefully back to the station. My concern with the walk along R Street was not my biggest problem. It turned out that there was heavy intersection construction at Cypress Gardens Blvd. & US 17, and all sidewalks and crosswalks were technically closed. With a suitcase it wasn't easy dodging the cones but I made it. Should have sprung for the car service in this direction too. Overall I recommend this property and would stay there again.
For the price you can’t beat it! This is an older single story motel with all rooms opening to the outside. No breakfast is provided, but it did appear they have coffee in the morning. Front desk and housekeeping staff were very friendly! *Note* Housekeeping begins their rounds early (8am)! My room was huge, even with a king bed. You could easily fit a Queen blow up mattress on the floor. The room was clean but could use some detail/deep cleaning in the harder to clean areas. The bed was mediocre in comfort - not as hard as the floor but by no means soft either. The king mattress was too large for the base so it hung over one side a bit and made it so you couldn’t really sleep on the edge of that side of the bed. The pillows were flat & lumpy. However, I slept great all 4 nights. Cable tv is provided. The shower is great - spacious with super hot water very quickly. The shampoo & lotion smell good. The entire flooring in the room is tile. The desk chair was surprisingly comfortable! I’d buy one for home if I knew where they got it. The mini fridge worked very well! My small bottle of water froze just a little bit. A microwave is provided in the room too. It’s a quiet area (unless a diesel vehicle is parked nearby & starts up before you are awake). Race Trac is within walking distance for snacks, lunch, & ice cream. I’d stay here again. As the title states, it’s a great value for the area. If you are “picky” or expect perfection, this is not the motel for you.
We had an excellent experience here. We had a death in the family and were trying to find a place for all of us to stay and had been having a hard time finding a place for the 8 of us. Kim was amazing at trying to get us rooms altogether and at an affordable rate, doing whatever she could for us to make us comfortable. The rooms were all very clean and my mother, who has been in the housekeeping industry for 37 years, was very impressed. Overall this was a good experience for all that was happening at the time. Thank you from The Barrett's.
