Family with Children Might Find it Acceptable

The staff were super friendly they treated us like family and that really made our stay feel homey and the wi-fi was actually pretty decent for a place like this which I didn't expect at all

It wasn't exactly a bargain but honestly it was still okay for what we got

convenient location

homemade pastries

smelly room

exposed wires

roach infestation

The location was close to the theme parks, making it convenient for our visit. Unfortunately, the first room we received was filled with cigarette smoke, despite being marked nonsmoking. After switching rooms, I discovered a hair dryer with exposed wires and moldy spots on the ceiling. While the homemade pastries were a nice touch, the experience was overshadowed by the presence of roaches in the bathroom. The overall cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired.

Great location and friendly staff

We enjoyed the perfect location just minutes from the theme parks, which made our trip so much easier. The staff were incredibly nice and accommodating, especially in helping us with our requests. The spacious double room was a nice touch for our family. However, the hotel could really use a thorough refurbishment, especially the carpets and some bathrooms.

It was just a great match for a short stayover in Tampa with fantastic value. The staff were friendly and helpful when I needed extra towels. If you're looking for a quiet spot, try to choose a room away from the pool area.

Moderately priced for Busch Gardens

The location is super convenient, just a short walk to Busch Gardens. Rooms are decent and the bed was comfy. They have a flat-screen TV and a fridge, but the fridge was noisy. Breakfast wasn't great though, could use some improvement.

The location was convenient, just a short walk to Busch Gardens, making it a budget-friendly choice. The room was comfortable and clean, but the property felt dated, with noticeable signs of wear. Staff could be more attentive, especially during breakfast. Overall, a decent stay for the price.
