Dundee, Florida, is a small town in Polk County that is considered part of the Lakeland/Winter metropolitan area. With just over 3,000 residents, the Town of Dundee consists of approximately 12 square miles. It was incorporated in the early 1920s as a result of that era's citrus boom, but is now predominantly a suburban bedroom community. The town's website boasts that it is only 90 minutes from both the east and west coasts of the state.
This hotel offers a complimentary hot breakfast buffet at its Q Corner Cafe, and free coffee all day long. Guests also receive free high-speed Internet access. Sleep is on a good quality Serta mattress. Pets are permitted, and the hotel has an outdoor pool. Rooms are handicapped-accessible. Disney World is just a 30 minute drive to the south. Formerly known as Quality Inn Cypress Gardens, it was re-named after the nearby Cypress Gardens water park closed in 2009.
