Hotel is kind of centralized....although I think I like the Hotel Circle a bit better. The whole staff was very nice and accommodating. Breakfast in the special room was not bad and the staff in the room very good.

The location was fine but I wasn't excited to get back to our room after a long day. Things in the room were falling apart and I couldn't wait to move on to our next destination. The pool was out in the middle of the parking lot which we had no interest in using. I would not go back. The... More

We stayed here from 4/23/13 to 4/25/13 (2 nights) during our trip to Seaworld. Checkin was easy; front desk lady was friendly; even asked which floor I wanted to be in! Parking lot had lots of parking available when we checked in. At night, though, it seems that there were more residents than I had thought. Free parking, clean. We... More

I booked my reservation through Hotwire, and was disappointed when I discovered this was the hotel we'd be staying at. Definitely more on the budget end then I'm used to. Overall the hotel wasn't bad - our room was clean, breakfast was plentiful, staff was nice. However, our room did have a musky odor to it, beds were very hard,... More

The complimentary breakfast was awesome! We loved the pool as well. Everyone was friendly and the room was clean. The only drawback was that I was in a non-smoking room and in my bathroom, only in the morning, I could smell smoke for some reason.

We stayed here during spring break. The hotel was full but everything was great. The free breakfast was much better than most with a very friendly breakfast crew especially the guy. He deserves a raise! It does get crowded but that's to be expected. The pool is small but warm. A great value for the cost
