Pros:

Comfy bed and close to Busch Gardens which is why we picked it!

Cons:

I don't think they've vacuumed under the furniture in a very long time, we found all kinds of food under the sofa and kids toys under the lounge chair.

Good stay, friendly staff, please fix the fact that you’re charging extra unnecessary fees that have nothing to do with
Pros:

Property was in a convenient location

Cons:

Well I was charged $140 on my last day, checked out before 11am, I pre paid, and still unsure why I had $140 charged to my card. The $100 hold I saw drop off my bank statement however there was an extra $140 I was charged for.
