This was the worst experience ever!!! Room was extremely dirty, blood on bathroom door, toliet was not attached to floor, towels were dirty, bedding was dirty. The comforter looked liked it hadn't been washed since 1975. There were children running around screaming, breaking up concrete on stairway and throwing it at cars. Made a call to front desk to report kids causing problems, nothing was ever done, had to listen to them till 2am. There were people sleeping in the stairway the night we arrived. And then there were the roaches...lots of them!!! We made it one night and had to leave with no refund!! Please do not stay here, sleeping in your car would be better.

Good price, pool, relatively close to the airport and good location. The neighborhood and my room were a little rundown, but it was a good stay overall.

It was close to Busch Gardens is the only good thing about the place. The room was supposed to be a smoke free rom and was not. You could smell it so bad once the door was opened. No cleaning had been done to the room after previous people left. There was pee all over the toilet and it was not flushed beds were not made up and cleaned. Trash and used condom in the dresser drawer.
