Great location, great amenities-free parking.

We loved how close this hotel was to Sea World!! We arrived around midnight and at first it seemed like an iffy neighborhood, but in the daylight it is surrounded by local gyms and a little shopping center/ local restaurants. There are plenty of larger chain stores just down Sports Arena boulevard. The room was large and had all the amenities! Fridge/microwave/hair dryer/iron and iron board, closet space, desk, tv, lounge chair, super cold AC, and lots of fluffy pillows. The continental breakfast was amazing and staff also let me get some milk outside of breakfast hours for my toddler. I was super appreciative of that. There is always coffee 24/7 and snacks for purchase. Also-huge bonus-parking is free!!! BUT if you are afraid of tight spaces-use the extra parking on the north side of the hotel, not the under the hotel spots. All of them look like they are only fit for fiats. I would not trust myself or kiddos coming out of a car for that matter.

This property was well maintained and the rooms were fresh and comfortable. The staff were friendly and did a great job keeping the property clean and inviting. We really enjoyed the free breakfast...great select each day and plenty to go around considering how busy the dinning area became.

overall this hotel served the purpose of our trip, literally 3 mins from Sea world and very close to other attractions we visited. Clean hotel, nice and friendly staff. Hot breakfast in the morning, clean and comfortable beds. however, it is not the hotel to stay and relax in, little rough area around, parking was tight if coming later at night, but lots of space if parking during the day.
