Everyone was nice, room was clean, no issues encountered. Stayed for 2 days. Never got to breakfast, we slept through it. LOL. I think the pool was next to our room, but everyone was out at the designated time, so no issues there either. Front desk staff was kind, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Would stay again.

All the above was good. I stayed about 6 nights and would have rather had a room close to the entrance for loading and unloading as I brought with me many provisions for my stay. But other than that, it was really good and I would recommended this establishment to others...

Nice location for a quick trip. Convenient to Busch Gardens and CW. Bathroom was dated with rust on the light fixture. No USB outlets. Comfortable beds and pet friendly.

I’ve stayed in all sorts of hotels and generally choose budget hotels to save money. My expectations are reasonable- clean. That’s pretty much it. This BW really needs some work. The lobby was clean, but the walls and carpet really need a facelift. They were dirty and beat up. When I arrived to our room, it was tidy and mostly clean, but I found a USED hygiene pad on the floor next to the far side of the bed!!! Housekeeping completely missed this and had I seen it earlier, I would’ve asked for the whole room to be cleaned again. The bed sheets were pilled and uncomfortable. When I asked for extra blankets for each bed, they nearly didn’t have any but managed to fine the “last two” and one had a major stain on it making us wonder if it had been washed. The dining facility is an old restaurant and the floors were sticky. Under my seat on the floor was a spilled bag of blue sticky candy (looked like powdered pixie sticks or pop rocks) so my shoes were all sticky. Upon checkout, I waited 20 minutes for the front desk attendant to show up to even tell him about the used pad. I’m not sure I’d ever stay her again due to the unhygienic finding in my room.

Room had thick layer of dust over much of the room furniture. There was also strong chemical odor on ground near the elevator. Elevator was old and clunky, sometimes didn't ever arrive. Friendly staff, but seemed to be understaffed, which I understand is a major issue for lots of hotels, but this one needs more cleaning.
