Clean and comfortable
Very nice buffet breakfast

Cons:

I didn’t like the location. The neighborhood was questionable. There weren’t any decent restaurants nearby that one would feel safe entering.

Nice Hotel shame about the Breakfast provided.
Pros:

The location of the hotel was great and the hotel was clean and the room was lovely.

Cons:

The noise levels from the main road was terrible which ment I had a terrible nights sleep as their was no let up with noise from the main road all night. The management need to change the windows in this hotel to ensure its guests can’t hear the noisy main road.
The breakfast was terrible in this hotel very little choice. Breakfast consisted of 3 or 4 cereal, yoghurt pots, porridge. The hot breakfast consisted of chopped potato seasoned and sliced frankenfurter sausage and nothing else with it. There was a waffle maker to do your own waffles and some muffins and some other bits and 2 or 3 juices and that’s the hotels idea of breakfast.
Hotel needs to change breakfast menu as it’s terrible and I had to pay for food in Busch gardens instead.

Loved the hotel. Walk to park longer than expected and courtesy bus only runs Thur-Sun.
Pros:

Bedrooms are a good size and very clean. Amazing showers. Breakfast was amazing and different each day.

Cons:

Pool could have been cleaner. One of the doors wouldn’t open from outside (door nearest the bus stop).
