Top Optimist Park Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Tallahassee Capitol - University Area

10/10 Excellent

"We visited the hotel on a very busy FSU family weekend. The staff were friendly and put out some food and drinks on Friday for guests. Extra linens and towels were available. Given that the hotel was sold out, housekeeping didn't visit on our two night stay, but they did check in to see if we needed any fresh towels."

Motel 6 Tallahassee, FL - Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great room for a small price. Just make sure a game for famu is not going on. You will be in for a big surprise with room cost. Other wise this is a great hotel."

Best Western Tallahassee-Downtown Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"A great choice for the money. The staff very professional, location within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and other facilities. My first time staying, but I anticipate booking with them in the future."

Econo Lodge Tallahassee Downtown - University

8/10 Good

"This is a no-frills Econo Lodge, no breakfast and simple rooms where you walk up to the second floor and all are open-air entry. However, the room was clean, there was a very nice mini fridge with freezer (which allowed us to keep some breakfast food, and keep our freezer packs frozen) and a working microwave. The bathroom was updated, was clean and functioned well. Surprising things were the concrete walls (keeps the sound out!), and beautiful exposed wood ceilings, which I'm guessing was part of the original "lodge" part of the hotel. I liked that everything in the room functioned well, from the fridge to the dark roast coffee maker, and the TV/remote (issues I've had in more expensive hotels). When I asked for extra bedding and towels, I found it in my room later, no fuss. He even shared some water for my water bottle after I got some ice (we were going to the stadium on a warm day). If you're looking for a clean, functioning option that's not too expensive, then this is it. The only ding I had was the musty smell in the room when we walked in, which in Florida, is a bit concerning (mold allergies). However, concrete walls may contribute to that since concrete doesn't absorb odor or moisture. Overall, a good experience."

Downtown Tallahassee Gem - Near FSU & The Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Everything was well maintained and thoughtfully appointed, and communication was easy throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

2 Mi to FSU: Pet-Friendly Retreat w/ Private Yard

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean efficent and close to everything. We had a great time."

Cozy - Organic Modern - Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"This place was very clean! I appreciated that the linens and bath towels had not been washed in a scented detergent. Many places we have stayed I cannot breathe for all the scented items, plugins, etc. This was our first time to visit Tallahassee, so it was good the restaurants, Public, pharmacies, etc close by. The back yard needed a bit of sprucing up and one of the bean bag chairs had busted leaving foam pellets. Overall great place, plenty of room, 3 large bedrooms and 2 baths."

4 Mi to FSU! Family Gem w/ Deck in Tallahassee
