My main annoyance is holding $100 for incidentals, like I'm a rock star that's going to trash the room after cleaning out the minibar. Not that there's a minibar. The hotel is fine, like any other $120(ish) place. No EV charging, one sit-down restaurant in walking distance, couple fast foods that involve crossing a busy street if you don't feel like driving.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here for my Busch Gardens trip and honestly, I don't think I'll stay anywhere else. It's close to both parks (water and busch gardens) and plenty of places to eat outside the park. The beds are so comfortable, it's always been clean and the rooms are very spacious. Employees are wonderful, even took the time out to remember my son and his friend names and engaged in a conversation with them each time they walked by the front desk. Pool was great, always clean. I can't recommend this place enough. We'll be back again next year.

The property was easy to access and provided parking. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the room was clean. If you’re looking for extras or a cozy place, this isn’t it, but if you just need a place to sleep, this property is clean, quiet, and will get the job done.

I usually don’t write reviews but this time we had a terrible experience. We had a family trip before thanksgiving and checked in around 10pm for the first night. When we were about to go to bed, we saw a dirty pair of men’s athletic socks under the duvet! It was absolutely disgusting. The cleaning staff obviously didn’t do their job at all. The front desk staff came immediately to change all the bed linens for the two beds. I didn’t want my kids to stay in the small room with dust from changing the beddings so they had to waited in the lobby with their dad, and by the time the staff finished cleaning and we could finally go to bed, it was already 11:30pm, too exhausted especially for a 2 years old! This is unacceptable. Two stars: one for the front desk staff that night, and one for the location.

The walls were so thin that I heard every conversation and overstimulated child on our end of the hall. My bed creaked so much that the slightest movement woke me up. Breakfast was underwhelming, and several options were inedible -- undercooked, overcooked or tasted like I imagine a dish sponge tastes. All this would be fine if the costs weren't the same as a Disney hotel on the same weekend.

The room was nicely furnished and well stocked with the necessary amenities. The bed was very comfortable. The free breakfast was hot and delicious. Coffee and tea were available in the lobby 24 hours a day. We will definitely stay at Holiday Inn Express again.

Arrived at the location, only to learn that the hotel overbooked. It took almost 2 hours before another hotel was found, and my $421 bill for 2 nights, turned in to $916.00. What is more disappointing is that the hotel did absolutely nothing to assist me with finding another place to stay, after this was their screw up. I could explain what was both told to me and what I overheard, to prove the hotel was at fault, but I am limited in characters.

The stay was fine. The attendant at check-in wasn’t very friendly, but there were a lot of people checking in and he was the only one working- not a big deal. I’m a little annoyed that after 11 days the pending $100 incidentals deposit hasn’t fallen off my credit card-? What’s the hold up there? Took my $$ quick enough, but take your time giving mine back. Whatever. Clean room, nice breakfast, all good.

The beds were very comfortable, making it easy to rest after a busy day at the park. Breakfast was decent with a fair selection. It’s nothing fancy, but definitely appreciated (and free!). We also loved how quiet and peaceful the area was, despite being just minutes away from Busch Garden. The location couldn’t be more convenient. Everything about our stay was positive. This was our second stay here and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend for families heading to Busch Gardens and looking for a clean, comfortable, and stress-free stay!

The room itself was clean. All juices, creamers, oatmeal was incredibly watered down. Apple, cranberry, orange AND the coffee mate creamer which was in a standard pump container from somewhere similar to Sam’s club was almost translucent. Not white like it should have been and seemed really watered down like the juices and other items. Gross. The facility itself was fine. And no one was hardly at the front desk on several instances but they were nice enough when they showed up.
