The room smelled terrible, so I left as quickly as I could. I had to find another place, which felt like a complete waste of money. The bed was uncomfortable, and the sheets looked dirty.

This stay was awful. The first room the gave us had towels stuffed in the toliet and wasnt clean. The second room was alot of the same. Not cleaned. Burn holes in the sheets and pillow cases in a non smoking room. Mold all of the ac blower. Blood spray on the back of the bathroom door. Shower filthy. Sp we couldnt shower. Unfortunately we were too tired to document the stay. We did get one picture of the broken ac unit. We came to rest from 3pm to 5pm to go back to busch gardens and just wanted to rest so i couldnt fight anymore. We had to go back to the park at 530 so we rested until then and went to the park and came back at 1am to sleep until morning. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. I will actually push them not to. I was extremely disappointed. I cant believe they can rent room like that. For 20 bucks cheaper than a nice hotel.

The smell was atrocious all around the place. They left used soaps and shampoo and didn't eben bother to provide unused ones. The bedding was horrendous. It was loud all through the night with the staff making no effort to control the noise. Cops showed up one of my nights. But honestly, the smell was so rank, it may have been the most insulting part of my whole stay.

This place was beyond terrible. The front desk clerk was outside smoking when we got there. The room was at the farthest end of the hotel and there was maybe ten cars there so intentionally making it inconvenient. The room door was broken and the room was filthy!!!!!! We couldn’t get a refund and leave because we purchased from a third party.
