cheesehead Sep 1, 2009

In our first room, the phone didn't work. The management gave us another room with no hassle. In the second room, the phone ... worked (except for the ringer), but the clock was broken, and the channels on the tv and listings didn't match up. On the plus side, it's within walking distance (for adults) of Busch Gardens. It was ok for the money, but probably won't go back.

Went to Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. Great location, very close to parks and lots of food close by. Easy check-in, ... took just a minute. Pool was very clean and large. Room was bigger than expected, a little outdated, but no problem. A/C was COLD!! Great place to celebrate my sons 4th Birthday!! We usually stay at another location, just because we were afraid to change. Now we will continue with Days Inn.

This is a hotel for teenagers looking to party. There was a bunch of young kids that were loud day and night. Also, the beds ... do not have fitted sheets so while sleeping the sheets were slipping down. Gross to sleep on the mattress!! And we were on 2nd floor, 2 spots in our room the floor was caving in.
