Spacious rooms a lot of things in walking distance Busch Garden across the street adventure Island five minutes down the street and they also had a bus that would take you to these destinations so you won’t have to pay for parking. That was really nice. The staff was very friendly and hard-working 3rd Shift concierge was very lovely.

The staff were all super nice and helpful. The room, breakfast area, elevators, hallway and pool were all clean. Breakfast had enough variety for everyone. There was plenty of safe parking. I felt they took our safety in account by the elevator requiring a room key for it to move. I highly recommend using the shuttle to Busch or Adventure Island as the driver Miguel is super nice and heplful. I never saw Miguel or any of the staff without a smile.

Candida

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was fine. It was nice that they had a coffee bar and complimentary breakfast. I did not like that with the cost of the room being unusually high they also charged a mandatory additional $20 just in case you wanted to order snacks on your room. That should have been optional and the guest's decision. We did not order anything so the $20 was never used. I still do not see it refunded to my card. I am very disappointed with this practice and this really reflects poorly on the hotel.
