"I stayed here for 7 days and overall had a positive experience, especially thanks to the staff and location. The front desk is available 24 hours, which was incredibly convenient, and every staff member I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The continental breakfast was a pleasant surprise with a full spread and plenty of options each morning. The air conditioning in the Florida heat worked literally magic. It was consistent and kept the room so cold it was always a balm when we came in each evening.
The hotel’s design has a nice aesthetic, and the location is a major highlight. Being in Temple Terrace and directly across from Busch Gardens made it easy to enjoy the park and even catch the atmosphere from nearby events and concerts.
That said, there are a few areas where the room could be improved. I stayed in a deluxe room, and while it had a lot of potential, there were some maintenance concerns. The bathroom vent wasn’t properly fitted, leaving a visible opening in the ceiling. The room door didn’t fully seal at the bottom corner, and the microwave was unusually loud after running for a short time. I also did notice a few bugs during my stay, which is something I hope management addresses.
Overall, the strengths of the staff, breakfast, and location really stood out to me. With some attention to room maintenance and upkeep, this could easily be an even better stay."
