Great value

Rooms were very clean. Front desk staff was very friendly and very helpful. Only one minor problem was the maid showed up to clean our room and did not speak any english. You try to tell someone to come back in a half hour that did not understand a word of english. Only a minor problem, I would stay there again and recommend to anyone.

Overall a good place to stay

Nice hotel. The room was clean. The televisions were outdated and we had problems getting ours to work. The bar was only open for a few hours in the evening. Located very close to Busch Gardens and places to eat.

Not Much to Complain About

The beds in most motels/hotels are too hard for my liking. This bed was not that bad. Breakfast was a little expensive.

Family trip

We checked in and were pleased with the size of the room, the checking in was smooth and the clerk was very welcoming; everyone that work there was great to deal with. It's not a huge hotel with flat screen but was a perfect place to stay with a quick shuttle to Busch Gardens. We were able to walk to several restaurants and a 24 hour CVS. We also had delivery from a local pizza place so plenty of ways to get food even though we didn't rent a car. Check out was also easy. Maid service was daily, pool was clean and the kids enjoyed swimming even though it was chilly for the rest of us :)

it suited our needs

perfect location for our needs, the only concern was that the bathroom was located in the bedroom suite and it made it inconvenient when guests that were sleeeping on the pull out sofa had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Other than that,we were very comfortable

Hotel Stay

My wife and I came for a night and we were blown away at the area. It was nice the way the courtyard is set up and the rooms were great. You could tell the hotel is older, but they have done some updating to them as well.
