Great location, great amenities-free parking.

We loved how close this hotel was to Sea World!! We arrived around midnight and at first it seemed like an iffy neighborhood, but in the daylight it is surrounded by local gyms and a little shopping center/ local restaurants. There are plenty of larger chain stores just down Sports Arena boulevard. The room was large and had all the amenities! Fridge/microwave/hair dryer/iron and iron board, closet space, desk, tv, lounge chair, super cold AC, and lots of fluffy pillows. The continental breakfast was amazing and staff also let me get some milk outside of breakfast hours for my toddler. I was super appreciative of that. There is always coffee 24/7 and snacks for purchase. Also-huge bonus-parking is free!!! BUT if you are afraid of tight spaces-use the extra parking on the north side of the hotel, not the under the hotel spots. All of them look like they are only fit for fiats. I would not trust myself or kiddos coming out of a car for that matter.
