Bad

The hotel is very close to bush gardens So that was the best for us. The location

We arrived about 1 am to check in and we found a dirty room , the guy who was there offered us another room , but my daughter was sleeping yet, and we decide don't move us. All day to clean properly the room and we found a lot of garbage under the beds and a lot of hairs inside the badroom. I took pictures. So finally, they charged us about 50 less dollars , and they put the invoice under the door early in the morning. But the point is that I was waiting for that price, something better. I won't repeat it and I won't recommend anybody that place. There are a lot of hotels around bush gardens.

Very good

The furniture was awesome! So much creative storage and lighting options and beds were very comfortable.

My kids were heaetbroken that we couldn't swim at 6pm because the front desk said pool closed at dark. We understand you don't want people swimming late at night but 6pm?! It was Christmas day and nothing else was open, all we wanted to do was swim. The pool is heated and lit up.... that seemed unfair that we couldn't use it. The room was perfect and clean, except the carpet needed to be cleaned better.

It was great! Have annual passes to the park, this will be our go to hotel.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the park was great, Charles the driver was very kind and helpful. I cant say enough about the lady at the front desk, i unfortunately dont recall her name, but I left something in the room when we checked out. I called the hotel and she immediately went to the room and retrieved the items while on the phone with me. This meant the world to me as the items were irreplaceable. Thanks to all the staff to making our stay so enjoyable.

Very close to Busch Gardens and provides shuttle service. Rick the driver was a wealth of knowledge on the area and local activities. Liked having coffee always available in the lobby. We unexpectedly needed an extra night and they were able to accommodate us

No gluten-free options on the breakfast menu like the Orlando location
