What our guests says about facilities

Hotel has comfortable rooms, premium services, and a prime downtown location

Spacious Family Suite

Our family of six loved staying in one of the spacious suites, which provided ample room for everyone. The separate living area helped keep the kids entertained while the adults relaxed. The combination of a microwave and fridge made snacking easy and convenient during our stay.

Inviting Hot Tub

After long days of exploring, we thoroughly enjoyed the inviting hot tub. It was the perfect way to unwind, and the plentiful towels provided at the poolside were a nice touch. The warm water was refreshing, making it a highlight of our trip.

5.4/10

During my family's stay, we appreciated the hotel's proximity to various attractions and the spaciousness of the rooms, especially for a family of five. However, we faced significant issues with cleanliness and dining experiences, which dampened our overall enjoyment. While the amenities were decent, the breakfast and laundry services left much to be desired.

Rooms

5.0

The room was spacious but not as clean as I expected; we found crumbs on the sofa bed and the sheets had an unpleasant odor, which was disappointing.

Service

5.0

I did face some challenges with the service, including a lack of communication about parking options, and unexpected charges that added unnecessary stress to my stay.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is fantastic, conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and major attractions like SeaWorld.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast experience was quite frustrating; it closed promptly at 9 AM, and I felt rushed just to grab something to eat without being turned away.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were generally decent, but the laundry situation was troublesome due to the limited number of working machines.
