We were surprised as to how clean it was and breakfast was delicious. My only complain was it was sometimes loud because it’s right by the freeway.

Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Front desk was very friendly and professional! Breakfast was pretty good - they were very helpful and replenished often. Unfortunately, security was a bit of an issue as the outer doors didn’t lock/unlock properly. So other people would prop the door open. The room was nice but I wish they put a little more into noise reduction. Street and freeway noise was quite high. Walls and doors are very thin so you can hear everyone all the time.
jaime, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best hotel if the amusement park is the reason for your visit. Conveniently 8 minutes from seaworld and 18 minutes from the zoo. Hotel is across the street from a grocery store and a 24 hour Dennys. Clean rooms, clean pool area nice and nice front desk at check in.
