I stayed from 6/14/24 to 6/17/24 with my children and small dog. The room was filthy and disgusting. My travel size Clorox wipes and Lysol spray were insufficient, so I had to purchase a larger size at Walmart. I just wish I had taken pictures of how dirty the wipes were. There was hair everywhere, including the shower, bathroom floors, and the mirror. The kitchenette was just dusty and scum on the counters, the list can go on. The refrigerator and dishwasher doors were rusted, and the floors were filthy. In addition to being filthy, the pool was closed, and we had no idea until we arrived. We drove 5 hours to celebrate my son's birthday and were disappointed to find the pool closed. Mind you, I booked this back in February; they could at least offer a discount for the inconvenience, and to make matters worse, construction workers were working outside the window a few minutes before 7 a.m. That is very inconsiderate of them, because many of us are there for vacation, and no one wants to wake up early if they do not have to. They can at least begin at 9 a.m. to be considerate of the guests. I would strongly advise against visiting this establishment.

Very nice stay. Clean and comfortable but....$10 a night for parking at the hotel that you are staying in? I have never. What a joke.

Upon arrival we were advised there was a fee to park our car. Any such fee should have been noted at the time of booking. Secondly, the shower water was lukewarm at best and never got hot. Finally, the breakfast consisted of pre-made breakfast sandwiches which had been sitting for a while. The bread was hard. There was the usual waffle maker and assortment of fruit and cereals. The hotel itself is clean and the location is great. For the price paid I expected average at least.

I checked in early. Only room available had window shade that would not rise as the gears were stripped, the water stuttered out of the bathroom faucet, the water hot/cold control wax reversed, and the rug felt wet from the humidity. The front desk graciously changed our room the next day. Thank goodness the new room was right over the 4AM garbage pickup as I really enjoy waking to very loud banging. The $10/d parking charges are also not obvious at reservation. I am glad I did not have an car. Otherwise, the room had very spacious accommodations. Breakfast was a nice bonus. The staff was very nice.

The pool was closed without giving prior notice. The front desk person was rude when asked if there were other options or compensation. Another employee eventually told us we could use a pool at a nearby hotel.

I stayed here because of the reviews on Hotels.com. I am extremely disappointed in this experience. Only one elevator worked. With how busy the hotel was you ended up standing there for a very long period of time trying to get up the elevator. The bed is extremely uncomfortable. If you are a light sleeper since this hotel is right next to the road, you can hear the noise of the traffic all night long. On my last day upon check out I found there was an extra parking fee attached to my bill, which was not told to me when I checked in. And also, there was no breakfast. Apparently the person did not show up which turned out to be our problem . So no breakfast and the gentleman at the front desk was extremely rude.

The hotel and front desk young lady was good for the most part. However, I selected this hotel for the ev charging. Which would have been great to charge while resting but neither worked. No one knew what the issue was. Front desk contacted the manager who also did not have knowledge of how or why it wasn’t working. Had to travel over 20 mins to find a station which was an inconvenient. No solution or accommodations were made.

Area is close to Busch Gardens (reason for the stay) but hotel is extremely noisy (they provide ear plugs in the rooms smh), they booked a huge group of kids and after a few complaints to the front desk nothing was done, so at midnight I asked to move rooms. Walls are very thin, could even hear the ppl above us walking. $10.25/night parking should actually be free, as it’s limited. Showers had hair all in them, breakfast options were minimum. No plans to stay here again for the amount of money I spent.

The room was spacious and very clean. The bed was not the most comfortable and the pillows weren’t great. The mattresses need to be upgraded and pillows that are full and not so soft should be provided. It’s a great hotel, less than 3 mins from Busch Gardens and looks brand-new but the quality of the bed and pillows aren’t great unfortunately.

The staff was great, especially the night time attendant! The room was nice and big. The sheets on one of the beds smelled really bad like soured laundry. On my way out for the day, I went by the front desk and asked for the sheets to be changed on the bed closest to the window. When I got back to the room, the sheets had been changed on the other bed but not the one that needed changing. I went back to the front desk and the got clean sheets from the attendant. She offered to help me change them which was very nice but I told her I could take care of it. The kitchenette counters had not been cleaned when we first checked in either. There were fresh coffee rings left there so I wiped them down myself. Housekeeping also took all of the toilet paper out of the bathroom on our second day there. We were staying for 4 nights so we had to get more from the front desk. There was a lot of loud traffic noise from the road each night. Sounded like cars were drag racing some nights. We appreciated the ear plugs the hotel provided. Breakfast was completely wiped out the morning we checked out. We did get there later than planned, at 9:45, but breakfast was supposed to be served through 10:00. There was literally one bagel left out of all the food so we went elsewhere for breakfast which was disappointing since breakfast was supposed to come with the price of the room. Overall, we had a decent stay.
