We booked this property as it was close to Busch Gardens and the hotel offered a shuttle which was great. Complimentary breakfast was provided. Many choices for everyone. Rooms were large, and that was unexpected. We didnt understand the cafe service and didnt use as we were handed a sheet of paper and told everything we need to know is here. So not really explained. A microwave was in the room which was great, but we had no plates to warm up anything, and we didnt find any in the lobby/breakfast area. Overall we had a good stay.

Pictures are deceiving! The hotel/rooms are outdated, smelly, and old. It's about 1 1/2 away from Bush Gardens, 2 1/2 miles from Moffett Cancer Hospital. There is a Wawa and CVS within walking distance. The only healthy option was the fresh fruits at breakfast. Not worth the money and Not staying there again.
