The room was supposed to be smokeless and it smelled horrible. There is also a homeless camp behind the hotel. The hotel is convenient off the interstate but if they want business, which it looked like they needed, they better improve the rooms or go way down on the price of their rooms. Awful place!

It was Springbreak and as anyone who wants to go to Busch Gardens but forgot to make reservations knows, you may have to head a bit more out to find a place. However, that gave no right to the hotel for being 40 years out of date and having terrible beds. At the office the receptionist asked if you wanted... More

Friendly though not sophistacated staff,Good comfortablerooms with beautifull courtyard. Very close to place of business and easy to get to interstate . rooms were clean though they could use some sophisticated decore. Beds were comfortable and free internet wireless which works good It has small meeting facility at reasonable price for family functions etc.
