Pros. Only thing I liked was it is close to Busch gardens
Cons. The cleanliness, it was not. The walls seemed like they had a bunch of kids with dirty hands playing all over. The ac was broken as well as the microwave. When I complained i was told there was no maintenance person until Monday, 3 days out.
Pros. The lady at the front desk... I Checked in on Sun around 2am Close To Bush Gardens
Cons. All Else
Pros. Nothing
Cons. There was massive piles of garbage and beer bottles in every entrance to the hotel. As soon as I walked in the hallway was disgusting, filled with dirt and garbage. The room get dirty, the pillows were super hard, I couldn’t fall asleep because I felt every single spring in the mattress. The walls are paper thing. I heard the neighbors above walking all night long. I could hear the neighbors next door and in front. The room had a very strong paint odor. I could hear police sirens all night long. The neighborhood is really sketchy. Definitely do not recommend this hotel.
Pros. Staff was mostly friendly and helpful, except for short staffed the morning we left .
Cons. Mystery stains on wall. Had to ask for everything 2nd day Breakfast was late opening last day .
