Hotel stay was good
It was fine. Nice size room and building is okay. We were going to Busch Gardens so it was perfect to just shower and sleep overnight. It served its purpose.

8/10 Very Good

Check in was easy. In our room a portable drill was left, the window shade had staples holding it somewhat together and the toilet kept running, had to take the tank cover off to play with guts to get it to stop. Noisy

The hotel was fine for check-in, the room was clean and tidy, but I didn't like the smell of cigarettes. The breakfast was very simple and basic.

Short stay for Busch Gardens
One night stay. Traveling from Orlando to Tampa for Busch Gardens. I loved that there was a shuttle service to the park unfortunately I wasn't able to use it so I can't comment on how it was. But I was told it was running. The hotel looks as though it could use some love it has some discoloration on the ceiling in the dining area and the rooms are in need of a refresh however nothing was broken for me and it suites my needs for a one night stay. Breakfast was provided but not great. Cold turkey sausage and we missed the eggs. They had warm cinnamon buns which were tasty

2/10 Poor

Frankly speaking I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The stay was horrible my room was never cleaned. The linens were never changed. The customer service was poor. It started when I entered the hotel. I think the receptionist needs customers service training. Disappointed
