We had a great time.
Pros:

Having breakfast included was wonderful. We also enjoyed the use of the shuttle service, once to Busch Gardens and once to Adventure Island. That saves the price of parking at the parks. Staff was great.

Cons:

Food was good , but would have been better with a variety from one day to another.

Not a four star hotel compared to others in USA.
Pros:

Ideal location, free shuttle service to Busch Gardens. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Bugs on the wall. The noise and inappropriate sound effects from the room next door. The volume on the television from the room next door.

Bom custo benefício, voltaria para o hotel. Boa equipe de atendimento.
Pros:

Café da manhã bom, camas boas, bom banheiro. O único de ponto de atenção foi a limpeza no primeiro dia, um pouco a desejar, que foi prontamente resolvida depois do nosso aviso. Voltaria para o hotel numa próxima oportunidade.

Cons:

Já relatada a condição de limpeza do chão no primeiro dia. Mais nada de resto. Fomos atendidos em noss solicitação.
