Great value. Property is dated. Saw many people that seem to be living there, full time. If you just need a place to sleep, when visiting Busch Gardens, it does the trick. Come in with low expectations; as the hotel is pretty old. Staff was very polite and helpful.

Wasn’t the best stay. Broken toilet seat, hair dryer looked like it had caught on fire and melted. Maybe the hardest bed I’ve ever slept on, and the pillows were completely flat and dense. I’m not a snob when it comes to hotel stays but this place was a bit rough.
