Best hotel if the amusement park is the reason for your visit. Conveniently 8 minutes from seaworld and 18 minutes from the zoo. Hotel is across the street from a grocery store and a 24 hour Dennys. Clean rooms, clean pool area nice and nice front desk at check in.

It’s a nice and very clean place to stay with the kids. It’s close to SeaWorld and most shopping stores. The breakfast was okay, but overall, we liked it we’re adding two more days.

Not the best experience

We did not have a pleasant time staying at this location. The bathroom had mold on the walls. The A/C unit rattled all night it was miserable to try to sleep- tossed and turned the bed you can feel it slopes in the middle. The room and the whole hotel smelled like “old people” like a hospital or old folks home. (Love old people but this is the best way to phrase it) When asked for extra towels they said we need to write down how many and sign them off they track towels very seriously. The clean towels they restocked in the bathroom had long black hairs inner twined - very gross. We paid a decent amount for what we hoped for a pretty basic experience. One women was very sweet at the front desk but we did get a rude staff member at the front desk that was short and gave attitude. Did not take pictures but spend a little more and go somewhere else
