Review.

I always chose this location to stay at ,its safe ,Dennys and Starbucks are in the same parking lot and driving distence to Seaworld and other attractions. The staff is normally good...but new faces alond with increased deposits. I normally book 2 rooms and only am required to pay 100 deposit for both of the rooms since I come here often but this time 2 seperate fees and $150 each. So I was not to happy about that .

Good value but noisy

This hotel is conveniently located next to a Dennys and a Starbucks but it’s also right next to the freeway so it’s noisy and there’s a lot of foot traffic. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. My one complaint is that the mattress was on a mesh metal platform that made a lot of noise which was strange. Overall for the price this was a good value. I was traveling alone and didn’t feel completely safe so I wouldn’t stay here again unless I was traveling with someone else.

A pleasant surprise

This is an older hotel, but has been refurbished and is kept very appealing cosmetically. The grounds were clean and litter free. It was too cold for the pool, but maybe another time because it also looked clean and well maintained. The staff were pleasant and efficient so check-in was a breeze. The water pressure in the shower was weak and it took quite a while to get warm, but it was do-able. I definitely would stay at this hotel again.
