This is a newer hotel and it's kept very clean. The front desk staff is very considerate and Robert the shuttle driver is awesome. We paid for the park and cruise package. Here's how it works since most reviews are for Busch Gardens: You get the room for the night. You can then leave your car at the hotel the... More

I have never stayed in a HI Express, but I must say I was totally impressed by this hotel. It was clean and looks like it is well maintained. The staff was very accommodating, and quickly resolved any questions or issues we may have had. We came down from Jacksonville to visit Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. The hotel is... More

The room was not only immaculate but the bed had an amazing mattress and linens. The breakfast in the morning had everything I could ask for. The cinnamon rolls were AMAZING!!! I... More

This clean, comfortable hotel is close to the gate, but we felt was too far to walk in the heat. We had a nice breakfast and helped by friendly staff. We took the shuttle over to save our steps for the park and were treated to lively music and a great start to the day. Robert, the driver, created a... More

I stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to Busch Gardens, but Busch Gardens is also walking distance if you'd prefer to walk. The breakfast was your typical free hotel breakfast. I personally didn't care for it because it is the typical junk food pastries and... More

Hello! Thank you for your comments. I agree with you about the pool furniture. We are in the process of getting the material needed to have all the netting replaced on the chairs. After three years of heavy use it is time. We appreciate the honestly we get in our reviews. I will check with the breakfast hostesses, as we... More

We enjoyed our stay. We didn't spend that much time at the hotel but the service was great. Robert the shuttle driver was awesome! We didn't have to wait for rides and he made the ride to Busch Gardens as enjoyable as the park!
