Super noise, horrible shower water pressure, and pillows- worst quality possible. Staff was nice, but nothing compensates a bad night of sleep, and a bad experience showering when in a hotel!

The room itself was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. Every detail—from the plush bedding to the ambient lighting—spoke of comfort and care. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Good location to Busch Gardens...but would not stay again...elevator broke 2 times and we had to walk up 6 flights of stairs...outdated rooms...bed had a hole..horrible wifi...and the cable hardly worked. Staff was just just like..."oh well". Have to say this was one of the worst hotel experiences.
