Hotel is older and the rooms show it. Its clean, beds are comfortable and room was spacious. If youre looking for a hotel built after 2000, this isnt it. If you need a clean place to stay while visiting Busch Gardens, this place will get the job done. Perk is the newer Yingling brewery is across the street, it has great food and is a nice place to eat and has lots to do.
