If "historic" means "poor/non-existent amenities, tiny rooms, dirty drapes and cracked bathroom fixtures", then yep - the Terrace is certainly historic. First, there's no self-parking, all valet; this would be fine if there were more than one valet attendant working at one time. Throughout our stay we waited constantly because the 1 valet attendant also doubled as a bellhop. The... More

This is a good hotel to stay in while visiting Lakeland for business or pleasure. The historic hotel has a beautiful lobby and restaurant and is located right across from a small lake which has a great walk around sidewalk for exercise or leisure. The rooms are dated but the service you receive make up for the rooms. The front... More

Entering the Lakeland Terrace Hotel is like stepping back into another era. The 1924 hotel is a registered historic landmark in the heart of downtown Lakeland, filled with period furnishings and Old Florida decor. It also features modern plumbing and air conditioning. Gourmet meals are served in the elegant Terrace Grill. My room contained a king bed, TV, and large... More

The lights were so dim that reading was a strain to the eyeballs. However, the bulbs may help their utility bills. The receptionist in the morning was not concerned with "making nice."... More

This hotel is in a great location if you want to be in downtown Lakeland. The hotel is very nice in the lobby and restaurant and is well decorated. However, the room where I stayed was not of the quality that I expected after seeing the first floor areas. The walls were in need of painting and repair. I looked... More

I ve stayed at the Terrace numerous times and it will always be my number one choice when I come to Lakeland but, it is time for some much needed upgrades and attention to detail when it comes to the rooms. Upon arrival complementary valet parking is as always lovely and the attendants are always extremely polite and helpful with... More
