The room was not only immaculate but the bed had an amazing mattress and linens. The breakfast in the morning had everything I could ask for. The cinnamon rolls were AMAZING!!! I... More

This clean, comfortable hotel is close to the gate, but we felt was too far to walk in the heat. We had a nice breakfast and helped by friendly staff. We took the shuttle over to save our steps for the park and were treated to lively music and a great start to the day. Robert, the driver, created a... More

I stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to Busch Gardens, but Busch Gardens is also walking distance if you'd prefer to walk. The breakfast was your typical free hotel breakfast. I personally didn't care for it because it is the typical junk food pastries and... More

Hello! Thank you for your comments. I agree with you about the pool furniture. We are in the process of getting the material needed to have all the netting replaced on the chairs. After three years of heavy use it is time. We appreciate the honestly we get in our reviews. I will check with the breakfast hostesses, as we... More

We enjoyed our stay. We didn't spend that much time at the hotel but the service was great. Robert the shuttle driver was awesome! We didn't have to wait for rides and he made the ride to Busch Gardens as enjoyable as the park! More

We were lucky enough to have an hourly shuttle bus to and from Bush Gardens. Not only was it prompt and efficient, but the Driver Robert should get a big raise. He is a great driver, polite, informative, and efficient. He simply did everything you can think of RIGHT. It was a pleasure meeting him and a wonderful perk of... More

HI! Grad night was awesome! I hope everyone finds out about this new event Busch Gardens is going to be hosting annually now that Disney has discontinued theirs. I know we were surprised to see and hear the fantastic fireworks display! I hope they make that a regular feature of the event. More
