Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel room was beautiful, spacious, sunny. No complaints there. However, the area felt unsafe, even during the day. There seemed to be homeless and/or drugged out people walking around the neighborhood. Would not recommend venturing out on your own, as far as walking is concerned. Our last night was crazy. We saw a guy running away from a bunch of other people and climbing a fence. Then a while later, we actually heard was sounded like gun shots and then a police siren afterwards. The good thing is that this hotel is right across from Busch Gardens so it is convenient. The hotel entrance is locked during the night so you are safe inside, but outside is a different story.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was newly renovated (though the TV didn't work), but the lobby was small and cramped with limited seating outside of their breakfast room. A bar/restaurant on site would have been nice as the area around the property was dirty, noisy and didn't feel particularly safe.
