The property was a bit dated but the price reflects. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were accommodating. They also had complementary breakfast and coffee. I didn’t have time to use the amenities. There were restaurants and a movie theater near. It was only 15 minutes to the base.

Great stay overall! Staff was friendly, beds were comfy, and breakfast was a nice bonus. The location is perfect for SeaWorld. Only downside was the carpet in the room—it looked a bit dirty. Other than that, everything else was great and we’d definitely stay again.

The staff and service are very friendly. Breakfast was good- especially the pancakes. The reason I gave three stars was that my room smelled like a wet dog … musty smell. This is an older hotel with some updates but the smell of the room was unpleasant. The bedding and the rooms were very clean kept. I did have an allergic reaction from day one- I believe it was from the towels. They could be using a detergent that I am sensitive to. Overall, the stay was satisfactory.

It was ok the rooms and the hotel itself needs maintenance. The pool had to much chlorine was burning my eyes. The rooms felt humid for some reason . It’s an ok if people are not picky at all . Front desk was good to the morning lady and a guy in the night but there was one lady in the afternoon very rude she told me to insert my card and I asked why she needed my card since I paid my stay thru a third party and she answer very rude . Definitely not staying here again it’s just an honest opinion (facts) not trying to talk thru emotions

Bathroom, light and fan

You must be aware that the bathroom mirrors with lighting around the perimeter is a very poor arrangement. The man cannot see properly to shave and with today’s emphasis on bald heads, it makes it very difficult to shave because of the glare concerning the fan, you have no way to turn it off without putting yourself in the dark so you either suffer with the loud obnoxious fan to see are you stay in the dark. Put the fan on a separate switch they get to eat in bed
