We went to Busch Gardens. Needed a place to sleep. Pics looked nice. Pool looked super nice several pics. My kids picked this property. I walk in with my kids all in bathing suits. Front desk starts to check us ask for card to hold and says, Our pool does not work”. I said I have 3 kids that’s why we picked this place for the pool. I had to find another place, never checked in. It’s been 4 days cheap tickets refuses to help.. They charged my card. The hotel will not refund the my money. I have 2 Airbnbs on their sites and I know I am not allowed to advertise an amenity If it is down or no longer available I must notify all sites I advertise on to protect our integrity and keep guests happy and not demanding a refund for FALSE ADVERTISMENTS. These “Inn Keepers” should be ashamed of themselves keeping families money. When they are given 0% govt loans to buy these hotels, gas and liquor stores. They steal our hard working money. Liars and thieves. Cheap tickets acts Like they can’t get the owner to answer the phone. lol what a joke. All liars and thieves.

2 star hotel

This def is a 2 stars hotel. My reservation was non-smoking 1-bed room, when arrived the room smelled horrible to cigarettes'. The host even offered me to cancel the reservation but then offered another room that was in a side they were already renovating which was better. Bed was good, the AC did not cool that much, room was clean at least. My stay was only 1 night so it was ok. I would not stay for longer tho.
