This location may be more suitable for solo or adult travelers. I stayed for a weekend while visiting a friend, and each night there was noticeable police activity in the area. The room had a lingering odor, so I kept my time at the hotel minimal—mainly just for sleeping. On the positive side, the location was convenient enough to get me where I needed to go in a reasonable time.

Great for concerts

It's perfect when you have a concert across the street. Plus there's the WingHouse so you can get some food real easily. We love staying here whenever we have a concert at the Florida State fairgrounds

My family and I chose this hotel because it's across the street from the fairgrounds where the horror con was being hosted. The receptionist that we dealt with were friendly and so where the other guests whenever we came into contact with them. We all loved that it was a non-smoking hotel. While staying at this hotel, we came to discover that there was a Wawa within walking distance.
