    Had a pleasant stay. The shower featured exceptional water pressure, and I appreciated the cleanliness of my room, which included a mini refrigerator and microwave. However, the bed could be improved for comfort, and the TV was outdated. Additionally, I had hoped for a hair dryer in the room.

    Great Stay with Awesome Service

    I had a fantastic experience during my one-night stay! The staff was exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to assist me, especially when I faced car troubles at checkout. The room was well-equipped with a comfortable bed and a large fridge, making it a convenient choice for my visit. However, I would have preferred a clearer communication regarding rates during check-in.

    jet tub
    heated outdoor pool
    slow towel service

    The large jet tub in our King Room was an absolute highlight, and we also loved lounging by the heated outdoor pool. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring, though I wish there was a bigger table for our snacks. Despite a little hiccup with the towels being slow to arrive, our time here was really enjoyable! 😊

    thrilling rides
    convenient location
    lack of family pool

    We had a fantastic time visiting SeaWorld with our family! The rides were thrilling, and my child couldn't get enough of the animal shows. The location of the hotel made it super convenient to explore all the attractions nearby.

    My kids wished there was a pool area for families. It would have been great to have a spot for them to burn off some energy after visiting the theme parks.

    Perfect for some R&R!

    I stayed for a night and totally loved the giant jacuzzi tub! The room was clean, comfy, and had a mini fridge—super handy. It was quiet despite the busy parking lot, making my stay pretty chill. Just wished the wifi was a bit faster, but it didn't ruin my time at all.

    missing hair dryer

    The room was clean with some recent updates, so that was nice. It had a microwave and mini fridge, which came in handy. The bed was okay, a bit firm for my taste. The shower was fantastic—great water pressure and hot water never ran out! But no hair dryer, and the TV was pretty outdated. The area felt safe, and it was close to everything you want to see.

    great location
    missing amenity
    worn furnishings

    The check-in process was straightforward, making it easy to settle in. The location felt safe, close to several attractions. My room was clean, with a comfy bed that provided decent support. The shower had great water pressure, nice for starting the day on a good note. However, the room wasn't as advertised. I expected a mini fridge which was missing, creating inconvenience. Some furnishings looked worn, needing updates. Despite the hot weather outside, the air conditioning struggled a bit to cool the room efficiently. This led to some discomfort during the afternoons. It served its purpose for a short stay, but missing amenities and dated decor affected the overall experience.
