Best Hotel stay near Busch Gardens
The front counter girl staff that greeted me when i came from busch gardens that evening of my check-in was very very friendly and inviting. The room was cleaned, very well maintained, and the breakfast was very good with so many to choose from. The pool needed cleaning from all the leaves and pollen but everything else was satisfactory. I will definetly be coming back to this hotel again in the future of my stays near Busch Gardens 😊😁

Room was newly renovated (though the TV didn't work), but the lobby was small and cramped with limited seating outside of their breakfast room. A bar/restaurant on site would have been nice as the area around the property was dirty, noisy and didn't feel particularly safe.

Everything was perfect inside the hotel and the proximity to Busch Gardens can't be beat. Breakfast is the standard free breakfast that hotels offer which was ok. The area surrounding the hotel is a bit rough.
