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.
