Oasis Bay Suites
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It wasn't very clean. The bathrooms baseboards were disgusting and clearly haven't been cleaned in a while. The front door handle was falling apart.

Bien mais bruyant
Pros:

L’emplacement, la gentillesse du personnel, chambre spacieuse, et parking gratuit sur place

Cons:

Le bruit de la rue est très présente dans la chambre. Ils allument une lumière dehors sur vos balcons à 22h et reste jusqu’à 7h donc il ne fait jamais noir dans la chambre, la lumière est très visible.

Property was nice and clean. They have a nice outside hangout space close to the pool. I would stay again.
Pros:

The room looked just liked the pictures. The space was decent, I liked the separation from the sitting area and bedroom.

Cons:

No Outside Entrance Close To Rooms. Have To Enter From Lobby, U Could Be Parked In Back Which Makes For A Longer Walk To Lobby Entrance.

Pros:

Nice blankets.

Cons:

Bath tub was gross. Couldn't t even sit in it to take a bath. Had to shower. Ran wanter over 20 mins and it never got hot. Thought maybe it was due to the evening (time). Went to shower at 4am, shower water was still cold. .

Hava sıcakken gidin
Pros:

Çalışanlar özellikle resepsiyondakiler çok güleryüzlü ve yardımseverdi.

Cons:

Merkeze uzak. Bir de ısıtma sistemi çok yeterli değildi. Hava soğuk olduğundan gece üşüdük.

Pros:

Worst experience ever. The hotel is not equipped with the right fridge, and the hotel could not solve it. Till today the hotel cannot make a refund as agreed on site, and they keep telling me they will refund but keep holding it.

Cons:

Worst experience ever. Do not recommend.

A localização é ótima! Do lado do parque Busch Gardens. Se esse for o motivo da hospedagem esse hotel é perfeito.

O café da manhã deixou a desejar. Padrões americanos.
