Family vacation to Bush Gardens

Keekee greated us as soon as we came thru the door. Fastest and smoothest checkin I have ever experienced. She was our furst impression and it was an excellent one. The shuttle to and from Bush Gardens was awesome and quick service. We will definitely be staying there again the next time we are in town.

Kiki is amazing!

Overall the stay was great. There were a few minor issues but we chose to deal with it rather than complain. The thermostat in our room did not work correctly. We changed the settings to attempt to correct it but it didn’t work. I had to wake up several times a night to change the temperature to get the thermostat to turn on. The faucet in the tub/shower turned every way and didn’t stop. We had to find the sweet spot to turn it off. The hotel was super busy and there wasn’t enough room for people to eat. I think this was mainly due to the large groups (church, teen field trips) that would eat together. Parking is bad. Kiki, the evening front desk clerk, is AMAZING. This place is lucky to have her on board!
