The staff was amazing. They were extremely friendly and accommodating. We had just gotten back from a 14 hr trip to Honolulu and they let us check in early to get some much needed rest. I will definitely be staying here again when in the area. Kudos Hyatt!

The rooms are very outdated. The beds were not very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and the staff was friendly. They really should refresh the rooms and have more comfy bedding.

Hotel needs repairs. The units look old with ceiling damages, doors with water damage, elevators are old and slow. It close to Busch Gardens but I would not stay there again. It needs a remodeling job.

It was just ok. Sheets in the pull out bed were not clean and obviously not changed so that set the tone for the rest of the stay.

Hi we liked our stay there. It is in a good location. The room is nice and big. It was clean. It was noisy outside our room. Though. Could hear people yelling and singing outside our room. The person who checked us in took a long time to check us in. Taking a phone call in the middle of getting our key ready and checking us in. We understand sometimes are out of your control. We will stay here again.

Good value for money

Hotel serves a purpose and it you want a good hotel near to USF or Busch Gardens then this is a very good choice. Loads of parking and decent seized rooms but the whole place is in desperate need of a makeover. Staff were all very helpful.

The property was very clean and comfortable. The hotel desk clerk, who took us to Busch Gardens on the shuttle, was very knowledgeable about the area which made our stay more enjoyable. What I didn’t like were the wasp nests outside on the wndows. I'm not sure if they were in there, but it was still noticeable. Overall, I would give this Hyatt a 9/10 score!
