Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable, and the staff was helpful in moving us to a better-smelling room. However, there were issues with the service that impacted our overall satisfaction with the stay. The location was convenient for our visit to Busch Gardens, but there were some safety concerns at night. The dining options were decent, with some healthy choices available, but there were issues like running out of food early. Overall, a stay with both positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel had perfect and safe rooms for my needs, but there were issues with drainage in the bathroom which could be a safety hazard. The service was very accommodating and pleasant, with a smile on the face and helpful shuttle service. The location was great for visiting Busch Gardens, with plenty of nearby food options.
The hotel's location is very convenient with nearby shops, but there are issues with cleanliness and unfriendly staff. Be cautious if you choose to stay here.
