Some of the staff was friendly. Our key card to our room did not work. Staff tried to fix it five times and it did not work during our overnight stay. This was a huge inconvenience when traveling alone with 3 children and myself.

Hotel stay was good
It was fine. Nice size room and building is okay. We were going to Busch Gardens so it was perfect to just shower and sleep overnight. It served its purpose.

Check in was easy. In our room a portable drill was left, the window shade had staples holding it somewhat together and the toilet kept running, had to take the tank cover off to play with guts to get it to stop. Noisy

They charged me $50 pet fee. I was surprised because I didn't see that when I was online. If I had, I would have stayed at a hotel that didn't charge.
