Overall fine hotel. Loved being conveniently across the street from Busch Gardens, but the facilities felt a bit old and the general area seemed a little bit on the sketchy side.

Good location. Close to the airport/cruise port/beach. Fast food options only without driving. The room was clean and nice. No coffee maker/bottled water. The front desk staff did not seem very patient and happy to assist guests.
