Hotels in Lake Fern

"Room and floors were dirty, lights are rusty and outlets in lights not working. Breakfast is terrible "

"Front desk service was not good. I called from the road to ask where we needed to park and was left for 13 minutes while I could hear talking at the front desk. We had to drive all around the property and finally ask security where the best place to park was. The room was new and clean but not the balcony we paid for. The shower DID NOT HAVE HOT WATER! Blowdryer did not work. We asked for a refill of water and coffee for the next day and they never came. The Rock Spa is great but don't waste your money on the hotel. "

"I stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront from January 29 to February 5, 2026, and unfortunately, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I've had. The property advertises a welcoming, waterfront stay, but the reality fell far short due to pervasive neglect and poor upkeep . The exterior building, windows, and entry areas were very dirty, with visible grime and fogging/streaking between the double-pane entry glass windows. Both elevators had accumulated dirt and crumbs in the corners. Hallways were extremely dark, dated, and felt unsafe/unwelcoming. Room entry walls were stained and dirty. In the room: Curtains were faded, stained, and ineffective at blocking light; windows were heavily streaked and dirty, obstructing the bay view. Bathroom door frame had what appeared to be blood stains; the door itself was dirty with various liquid stains. The tub filled with standing water during showers due to a non-functional diverter, and water pressure from the shower head was barely existent—water was lukewarm at best. Bathroom vanity was heavily worn and beat-up. Bedding was old, torn in places, and the mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. Broken A/C vents in every room (including ours) meant poor airflow. Despite advertising "breakfast included" in some promotions or expectations from the brand, breakfast was not complimentary and required an additional charge. "
