He was already aware of the situation and sincerely apologized for the waitress's behavior. I truly appreciate the prompt response and the time he took to listen and address my concerns.

My wife and I love Keel Farms and look forward to visiting again. Hearing that we would be welcomed back with open arms made the conversation even more reassuring. Thank you to management for the professionalism, sincere apology, and thoughtful follow-up.

We were able to use whatever vendors we wanted as long as they were licensed and insured. The space is large and we divided the main space into two separate rooms using pipe and draping to keep the ceremony area separate from the dining area. They have a nice bar area and prep kitchen making it a lot easier for caterers. They have a courtyard also that can serve as the ceremony area if preferred. We used that area for our cocktail hour. They were responsive, articulate, and able to answer whatever question we threw at them. Additionally, they have a bride and groom suite, making it super easy to get dressed at the venue. We highly recommend this venue as they could accommodate everything we needed for our daughter's wedding.

Excellent wedding venue! The interior is very well done with shades for the windows, as needed (our…read morefriends had all but one shade down, giving enough natural light for the photographers). After the ceremony on one side, we adjourned to the fenced courtyard for a coffee break and appetizers while the wedding party took photos inside. The courtyard has string lights and plenty of space for the ~125 guests to mingle. Once we returned inside, the ceremony space became the dance floor and we enjoyed a buffet-style dinner at the tables. There's so much space inside that there are so many options for your event. Mostly plain brick walls so the event will be what you make it to be!

Had a two-night stay here in September 2026. First, the good. Staff was super-friendly, the…read moreambiance in the lobby was swanky (especially for Lakeland), and the property is classy. How often do you get to stay in a 100-year-old hotel? Had drinks and dinner in the bar upon arrival and both the cocktails and the steak were exceptional. Also, the hotel restaurant offered to have a to-go breakfast burrito waiting for me each morning of my stay, which was not only a solid breakfast, but saved me a bit of time each morning. The location is great, overlooking Lake Mirror, and being within easy walking distance of several restaurants and bars. Now, for the not-so-great. The air conditioning in my suite was not working upon arrival, which is a real shame, because man, that was a nice room with a lakefront view. Sadly, no other suites were available when I asked to relocate, so I had to downgrade to a standard room. Caveat: the suite was a free Diamond Status upgrade, so I can't complain too much. Second, the floor plan on the Hilton app reflects that there is an ice machine on every floor with guest rooms. This is not accurate. There are only ice machines on three of the floors. And as luck would have it, although I was on one of those floors, that particular machine was not working, so I had to go to a different floor to fill up my cooler each morning. Not a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience. Third, while I confirmed with the front desk staff that my daily food and beverage would be automatically applied to cover the cost of that breakfast burrito, I ended up being charged both days for it, necessitating a call to the front desk after checkout to remind them to apply the credit and reverse those charges. Again, the staff were friendly, and quickly corrected the issue, sending me a followup text to let me know it had been addressed. Finally, consider that the rooms on the north side of the property overlook a main thoroughfare in the downtown square area and a parking garage, so there's quite a bit of street noise, especially on Friday/Saturday nights from folks barhopping. Stay on a higher floor or on the south side of the hotel if you're noise-sensitive. All that being said, I really enjoyed my stay here, and will definitely stay here again next time I'm in town.

Cornfusion. That's why we recently went to the Smith Ranch. I know they have other services…read more(weddings, etc), but my experience is based on Cornfusion, just so you know. We went as a part of a large group for a homeschool field trip. It's a farm so expect long bumpy dirt roads and be aware of where you put your feet. Again, it's a working farm. This really cute guy will greet you right away; he's got golden hair and the sweetest smile! His legs are often covered in mud, depicting what fun he has on the farm, but he probably won't jump on you. And his floppy ears and droopy cheeks just make me want to squeeze him. Do keep an eye out for him when parking your car. If you do the hayride, you'll see him again working as a ranch hand, corralling the cattle alongside the tractor, forever wagging that tail of his. As far as activities go, there are quite a few for some fall fun... as "fall" as Florida gets. There's a kiddie area with a fire truck to play on, swings, eats, pony rides (I think; it wasn't operational when we went), tractor train ride, and more. Elsewhere, there's a pumpkin patch, Duck Race (rubber ducks), photo ops, a giant bounce pillow (it's like a bounce house except it's a big ol' pillow), giant tubes like hamster balls to roll in, cornhole and our kid's favorite, the corn box! It's like a bi sand box except instead of sand, it's filled with dried corn. Who knew that could be so much fun?! The hayride takes you out through the farm in a trailer that happens to be partially covered; that was nice for us since it rained a bit. They provide food for feeding the cows, too. If you go at night, they have Zombie Paintball; you ride the hayride and shoot zombies. Sounds fun! Don't forget the corn maze! It's was a nice, quick trip through but I think we didn't go very deep. I'm sure there's more to it than what we did. We enjoyed ourselves and our kid was wiped out! The Smith family are awesome people so if you happen to have any questions or issues, let them know. Things to know: restrooms are PortOPotties and they do have handicap accessible ones. The food station DOES take cash or card. You'll be picking corn out of your clothes all day if you use the corn box, but it's worth it. It's pretty "stroller friendly" but it is still over grass. Just have fun! And give that cute guy some ear scratches when he says "hello!"

Out in practically the middle of no where you'll find the Smith Family Ranch. I've heard in the…read morefall, they host corn mazes, zombie paintball hayrides and concerts hosted in the barn. On this occasion we were here to celebrate a wedding. When you arrive you'll drive down a long dirt driveway, there isn't any gravel area so prepare to park on the lawn. The wedding ceremony was being held in a field and the reception was in the barn. It was a perfect country style wedding if that's you're thing. You know what's not my thing? Cow patties everywhere! From right outside my car door to the actual wedding aisle! I was surprised that even though the ceremony was held in a small field, the aisle wasn't even cleaned up for the bride. Walking up to the ceremony space we walked through a gate except they were doing construction on the ground; so there were large exposed pipes sitting in the ground covering a deep hole. In order to walk across, they put a small piece of plywood all the way over to one side and a traffic cone. It was definitely a safety hazard with so many kids running around and at night it was the only area with a light. Thankfully I had my phone flashlight to keep an eye on the ground as we walked back to the car. The barn was beautifully decorated with lots of twinkle lights and a stage for the bride and groom to sit. There were bathrooms in the barn as well but one was out of paper towels the entire time. Another room in the barn was reserved for the groomsmen to get ready. What I really liked was they lifted garage style doors on the side that had hid the kitchen. Once the doors were lifted you could get in line to be served by the caterers. It was definitely a unique place for a wedding but there were a few cosmetic things I would have changed and there's no good way to hide from wind or rain.
