Happy hotel stay
There’s nothing better than staying in a hotel where the staff is so service oriented, along with courtesy and friendliness. Excellent place to stay if you’re going to Busch Gardens.

2/10 Poor

Stay Away!
Worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Front Desk lied to me, I booked a king room, when we got there, the keys room didn’t work. Had to go back to the front desk went back up to our room. It was two queens. Went back down to the front desk for the third time. I told him I ordered the king, they told me too bad. Take what you got. There are no more kings available when I was ready to leave then a gentleman said here here’s a room for a king and gave us a king room, Execution of service was pathetic, the area was disastrous crime everywhere, armed guards in the front . Look like criminals casing the parking lot. Crime everywhere!

4/10 Fair

Zero for Cleanliness
Our first room had a strong urine smell, and I suspect the sheets were never changed. After requesting a room change, the second room wasn’t much better—it had black spots all over the bathtub. The only redeeming qualities of this hotel were its convenient location near the park and the helpful front desk staff. If not for those, I would rate this hotel a zero.
