What happened after Hotel Impossible?
Hotel Impossible featured Winter Haven Suites & Conference Center in Winter Haven, Florida, on season 7, episode 3, 'Blind Faith,' which aired 2016-05-02, following the show's format of a hospitality consultant working with an independently run hotel. An initial Google Places match for this record pointed to the AdventHealth FieldHouse & Conference Center, a city-owned sports and event facility in Winter Haven, a different, unrelated venue from the hotel featured on the show. A 2026-09-09 search located a business address for Winter Haven Suites & Conference Center at 1150 3rd St SW, Winter Haven, FL 33880, per a Facebook page still live under that name, facebook.com/WinterHavenSuites, and a Visit Central Florida tourism listing.
Travel-booking sites HotelPlanner and GuestReservations, however, list a differently named property, Winter Haven Garden(s) Inn and Banquet Center, at the same 1150 3rd St SW address. No news coverage, government record, or dated review confirming which name currently applies to the address, or the property's day-to-day operating status, was found. The address was geocoded via the U.S. Census geocoder on 2026-09-09 after the Places match was determined to be for an unrelated facility. No secondary source with a clear publication date was located to settle the naming discrepancy.
