Reviews and Ratings
I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel with a gorgeous view of the pool from my balcony and great service from the staff. However, the room layout was a bit awkward as the bathroom was right next to the door, making it difficult to open both at the same time. The location is convenient for those driving, but it does come with some noise from the freeway. Overall, it's a decent choice, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.
I recently stayed at this hotel, and while the location is fantastic, close to both the zoo and SeaWorld, I had a mixed experience overall. The rooms were a bit on the small side and not very soundproof, which made for some restless nights. On the plus side, the staff were incredibly friendly and the amenities were decent. Dining left something to be desired, especially for the prices charged.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is situated perfectly for all my plans. The staff was exceptionally friendly, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.

I found the hotel in a great location, just a few miles from all the attractions and close to a trolley station.
