The only thing I didn’t like is one of the entrance doors into the building to where our room was, it was broken. So we had to walk all the way down to the other door to enter the building and walk all the way down to the other end to get to our room..

Felt like it was painted and cleaned by members of a fraternity who had a “good enough I guess…” attitude. In addition, the outdoor pool was dirty and closed for an undisclosed reason, although that wasn’t mentioned prior to our arriving. On the first day, the burners at breakfast weren’t on for some reason, so the eggs and sausage were literally room temperature. (They were heated on the second day). The yogurt also was literally frozen the first day. It met our basic needs of a bed and a shower, but I would never actively recommend this to anyone I know.

I am so happy that the rooms are being upgraded. The security also upgraded. You can not just drive right on in. There has to be a swipe card to get it and also a vehicle pass for any vehicle on the premises.

The staff here was very nice and the area was quiet. The room seemed clean overall. The biggest issue is the property overall seems to have been neglected. The first thing you see when you pull up is a dark green pool full of algae. Additionally there was tape over the outside doors so they wouldn’t lock. There were stains on the curtains and the walls, the floor in the bathroom was warped from water damage, and the air conditioner smelled like mold when it turned on. There was still hair in the shower and one of the doors from the sink vanity had been broken off and stashed under the sink. This place needs a little attention. It wasn’t an awful stay by any means and the people were very nice.

The staff, the room, and the breakfast were all wonderful. Roomy comfy and clean. However the pool is currently (and has been for months) closed and green. Also the theme park shuttle advertised prior to booking does not exist. Though I was disappointed about these 2 things (mainly the shuttle service bc busch gardens and adventure island charge $30 parking) my overall experience with the room and service overall remains highly satisfactory.

The only good part was the people at the front desk; surprisingly nice. The whole place smelled. The carpet was dirty and grungy looking. We had multiple hairs in our room, a piece of the fridge was broken. A bug was inside the fridge. The ice maker was overfilled and dirty. There were hairs and dirt in the shower and the toilet was dirty. Walls were also paper thin so we could hear everything that was going next door. Wouldn’t recommend on any level.

My 1st rm rug at the door was torn. There was a hole in the floor and covered by the rug. The bathroom toilet backed up to the point we were moved to another rm at 1130 at nite with 2 elderly people. The 2nd rm wasn't better. It smelled like the rug was dirty. Shelves in the room were not useful. My stay at that hotel for me and the other two families i brought there did not have a comfortable stay.

Got woken up all throught the night byt the Elepahnts - people above me. The stairway was also next to my room on the 2nd floor could hear everyone going up and down. I had coworkers down the hall and they had people waking them up as well - DO NOT STAY HERE!

After spending a long day at Busch Gardens we arrived at the hotel around 7:30pm. Upon entering the room we found used wet towels in the bath floor and an unmade bed. The manager was not helpful and told us that any complaints would need to go to Hotels.com. Hotels .com contacted the hotel but our they would not provide a refund. I suggest avoiding this hotel if you like clean places and honest people.

Not that it's the front desks total fault, but neighbors are noisy and inconsiderate. One idiot clicked his lock button literally 30 times outside our ground level window over the course of the evening. Housekeeping has a policy to clean up your room every 3 days of your stay. We checked out on the fifth day and never saw anyone while we were there. Bottom line is I don't believe this facility is up to Marriotts standards.
