The staff was wonderful. Kind and helpful. I knew my husband was a happy camper, he went for thirds for the sausage gravy and biscuits. He is a big breakfast eater and he said, or should I say mumbled "humm and yummm" all through the meal.

Spacious rooms a lot of things in walking distance Busch Garden across the street adventure Island five minutes down the street and they also had a bus that would take you to these destinations so you won’t have to pay for parking.
