Enjoyed the nearby attractions, restaurants and amusement parks/museums. The indoor pool was nice relaxation with the boys. Negative is the lack of facility maintenance. Several exterior doors remain opened and unable to close allowing cool air to enter the hotel. Also, a sense of insecurity crept into my conscience regarding the door situation.

We recently stayed at this hotel during our trip to Busch Gardens and had an overall great experience. Here’s a breakdown: Pros: The price was budget-friendly, making it perfect for families or anyone looking to save, close to Busch Gardens, check-in process was quick, clean and comfortable beds and pillows, free Breakfast, All-Day Beverages: Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were available 24/7 Taqueria Maria Bonita Restaurant excellent restaurant connected to the hotel was incredibly convenient. Friendly Staff, Convenient Check-Out: The receipt was slipped under the door on check-out day. Vending Machines: Fully stocked and modern, accepting both cash and cards. Cons: Indoor Pool: While it’s great to have an indoor pool, the water was unfortunately cold and getting to the pool required going outside and down a few stairs. Bring a robe! Overall, this hotel was a fantastic choice for our trip to Busch Gardens. The pros definitely outweighed the cons, and we’d recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable, clean, and convenient place to stay!

Comfortable beds and the complimentary breakfast each morning was great. The only complaint is the indoor pool heater was broken and that was one of the main reasons for booking at this hotel. My granddaughter was looking forward to swimming and couldn't.

The hotel was not cleanliness. When arriving I received someone else’s paper about our room. The guy at the desk apologized because our form was not printed. We go into our room and the air is on and it’s freezing. I get in my side of the bed and my SO pulled each blanket on his side and there was a nasty used condom between the blankets so now we know these rooms are not properly cleaned. So if I could give no stars for that, I would. The guy at the desk offered a different room and states that it was a different person who cleaned it and should be ok. He will speak with the manager and see what can be done. Well still no phone call from the manager. I was still billed for a night.

I am absolutely disappointed by the lack of cleanliness in this room. Our covers were stained, there were fake nails on the floor, black spots in the tub, and debris on the carpet in the hall. I will not be recommending this hotel, and I regret not choosing a different one. I will never be returning here. This hotel should not be listed as it is not very clean. Update: we were given a different room. Was promised it was clean. We move our stuff and surprise there feces on the toilet. I go to report it to front desk. Was given gloves and cleaner and towel to clean it up. We clean it up. Please don’t stay here. Thankfully I booked this thru 3 party. Was able to get a refund. The headache it cause and husband blood pressure going high is not worth it. Stay away.

The hotel is built into a hill so the lobby is really on floor 2. Our room looked out onto the back of the property so we parked the car to be visible from our window. Entering at the back of the property you come in on floor 1. This door is unattended and despite lots of signage that this door can only be accessed with room key the door was left wide open permanently. At all hours. Not just unlocked, but visibly propped open. The door to our room was clearly forced open at some point in time, and the damage just painted over. The whole building smelled old.

Great location but clear Best Western is not concerned about the facility. Room had numerous examples of water damage as if it were affected by pipe leaks or other issues. Cleanliness was not a good factor either. The room should have been vacuumed prior to new guests checking in.

PROS: Staff was excellent! Location is close to everything. The room & lobby ate clean given what the staff has to work with. CONS: This property is in serious need of reimbursement. The bsck downstairs outer entry door was broken off and propped up against the outer wall. Safety was concerning because anyone could just walk into the hotel. There were entire areas in the hallways where the wallpaper had fallen (3rd floor) and was just pinned back up at the top. The ceiling in my room was wavy. There was a 3 inch gap at the bottom of the door so you heard every conversation in the halls. The outside window had a gap in it, so a steady stream of cold air came in. The black out curtain wasn't wide enough to cover the window, so a gap of light shown from one side. I might would stay again, but not for the price I paid. It is extremely overpriced for the condition of this property. NOT the staffs fault, this is from the owners not caring. They have such great staff, the owners should give them a hotel to be proud of.
