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!

No Water and Dirty

There was no water and no one told us that there wasn’t going to be any water when we checked in. They knew the water was off but not convey this upon check in so we went to our room ready to shower and get ready and had to go back down to the lobby because the phone was also not working!

Outside of the blg looks nothing like the pic. It’s very worn down and dated. Also directly next to train tracks (never heard a train so don’t know if an active track or not). Area doesn’t look great and I wasn’t even comfortable leaving my vehicle in the parking lot. My room was non refundable so couldn’t cancel, but I definitely would have if I had seen area and blg in person first. Room wasn’t very clean. Sticky stuff on bathroom floor and crumbs on the carpet. Fixtures were updated, but the walls, hallways, building itself is very old and worn. Staff was nice and breakfast was great. I definitely think the outside picture is very misleading. It makes it look much nicer than it is. I will not stay at this hotel or in this area again

They have their own general parking lot. They then charged $14 to park in their own parking. Everything you ask they would not do if you were not part of their loyalty program. I will not be going back.

The bathroom was dirty there was pink residue throughout the shower and a blonde hair as well, family has black hair and we have not showered. I arrived extremely late just decided to clean and disinfect the shower. I did take pictures. Unfortunately we were there with friends staying in the same hotel and didn't want to leave the hotel for those reason but it was very disappointed.
