Check in was smooth. VERY CLOSE to Busch Gardens! Each room had a queen and twin bed. Towels were already placed on each bed making shower time simple. There was TONS of room for our family of 7. We easily could have had an extra 5 people without feeling crowded. The only issue we had were fleas in one of the bedrooms, likely from the vast amount of stray cats outside. We contacted the owner and he confirmed that he would handle the issue. We would stay here again.
