Our room was clean and beautiful. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and served until 10am- later than most hotels. The hotel offered a free shuttle for drop off and pickup at Busch Gardens’ park entrance which was super convenient! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.
