We had such a great stay at this hotel! The highlight was definitely the pool—it was perfect for kids and kept them entertained for hours. The whole property felt very family-friendly, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. From the welcoming staff to the kid-friendly amenities, everything was set up with families in mind. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling with children!

Accommodations were lovely. The only improvement that would have made it better for us is to be able either cast our media to TV or sign into our streaming services. The cable was cumbersome.

The beds were comfortable, the staff was extremely helpful and the residences present a like-home quality that makes you want to stay longer. The 2 bathrooms were a most welcomed treat. Not having to share a bathroom with my kids while on vacation was so awesome. We loved it and will definitely return.

We will not stay here again. The suite was not well maintained; the furniture was worn and stained, there was a thick coat of dust and dirt built up on the HVAC air intake vent, and there was an odor of grease and mustiness that permeated the suite. Not a good experience.

The unit was comfortable and clean. It has seen a lot of use and that’s evident on the general condition of the flooring, furniture, and appliances. Check in took a really long time and there weren’t that many people. The entry foyer to our unit was filthy. It looks like the previous family before us dragged their trash along the floor leaving crumbs and bits of of food all they way from our door, down the steps, and to the outside. I informed the front desk and it was never addressed during the entirety of our stay.

Housekeeping Snafu

We arrived around 9:30pm after a long day driving and at Busch Gardens. I had called the day before to confirm a two bedroom on the first floor for my disabled veteran husband was indeed reserved for us only to initially receive a 2nd floor suite that was NOT clean. Food on the table, towels on the bathroom floors and in one of the tubs, beds clearly disheveled and a pack-n-play set up in one of the bedrooms. Ther were greasy smudges on the cabinet doors, and counters. The hallway carpet had crumbly debris like construction had been done recently. When we called the front desk to complain we were told there were no other units available. We said we would be there at reception (several BLOCKS away) for a full refund then as there ws no way we would be staying. They suddenly found a freshly cleaned - within the last hour- unit on the 1st floor that we could stay in. Why not give us that from the start? The other room was roomy and clean but the master bathroom’s shower door did not latch and there were knobs missing from the shower controls. Bed was comfortable and AC worked so we got some sleep before our departure at 8:25am.

Great value!

The room was larger than anticipated. Each bedroom had an en-suite bathroom, allowing for creased privacy. I am making this location my permanent location to stay when I am in the area.
