Door did not shut properly had to dead bolt it to keep it from opening. The please was nice, had a large courtyard with turf that would be good for letting kids run around and hanging out.

The elevator only worked the first time, after that we had to take the stairs. The beds were definitely not queens. My group got 2 rooms, and had to rearrange them for the other couple so they could sleep on the pullout sofa bed, because they could not fit on the bed in the room. The room wi-fi doesn’t allow to cast phone to TV, and no good channels to watch before bed and during breakfast. Complimentary breakfast was really good. Hotels usually only have make your own waffles, muffins/bagels, yogurt, and cereal, but they had scrambled egg, sausage patties, potatoes on day one and bacon on day 2, pancakes, grits, cereal, yogurt, fruit, fresh juices, hot cocoa, and coffee. Pool was relaxing, and the relaxation area was just that, very relaxing. Came down for my come, and if in the area would definitely stay again.

An Oasis at Busch Garden's Back Door

We three ladies stayed here over the Labor Day weekend. The hotel is literally at Busch Garden's back door! It's an older property, and well kept. The kitchen was closed, it looked like it was being renovated. Even with the closed kitchen, the staff did a great job of providing the breakfast buffet with the space they had available.

Nice. 3rd time staying here.

Our 3rd stay here. We've had a good experience everytime. This is not a 4 star hotel, but for a mid priced hotel really close to Busch Gardens it's really nice. Dated, but clean and comfortable. Great pool. Nice breakfast spread. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Nice family affordable stay.

Perfect for Parks

It was super cute and right down the road from Busch Gardens! My boyfriend and I refer to this hotel as the Busch Gardens Get-Away. We always use this hotel when we come to visit the parks! It is cute, spacious, clean, and comfortable.
