- BPBrandon PacilloNov 8, 20251.0Horrible management, unprofessional front desk. Management screamed at some of my family members for a booking mistake THEY made and then they did nothing to make up for it. You could go to Super 8 and get better service. It was a simple two night booking and they were incapable of that.
- PDpaul daviesOct 6, 20253.0This hotel is opposite Bush Gardens so they offer a free shuttle, unfortunately you don't get your room cleaned daily ,we stayed 3 nights without it being cleaned.The rooms are large and beds comfortable. The area around the hotel is not the best
