I was pleasantly surprised on the cleanliness, decor, and just how spacious the room was! The bathroom was very nice, equipped with blow dryer, with full size Dove soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispensers. Retractable makeup mirror and great lighting. The water pressure and the amount of hot water in the shower was perfect. The bedding and pillows were very comfortable, along with a great A/C unit. The room a mini refrigerator, microwave and a coffee maker. The check in was easy through Expedia and the free breakfast was one of the best ones I have had! Biscuits and gravy, was my favorite, along with the hot cinnamon rolls. The coffee was fresh ground and brewed in a fancy dispenser! Parking was free and easy, which is great because I own a large pickup truck! Close to restaurants and shopping in the city if Bartow. I will definitely be back, if I am in the Bartow area.
