Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The bed was comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep, and the breakfast—hot, fresh, and had a decent variety. The hotel was clean and quiet, and everything worked as it should. Nothing overly fancy, but it got the job done. I’d definitely consider staying here again.

Best Place for vacation -Real Review

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here for my Busch Gardens trip and honestly, I don't think I'll stay anywhere else. It's close to both parks (water and busch gardens) and plenty of places to eat outside the park. The beds are so comfortable, it's always been clean and the rooms are very spacious. Employees are wonderful, even took the time out to remember my son and his friend names and engaged in a conversation with them each time they walked by the front desk. Pool was great, always clean. I can't recommend this place enough. We'll be back again next year.
