I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, especially appreciating the ground floor room with a view of the park which was perfect for my son to play outside. The service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. The location was great too, just a stone's throw from Seaworld where we enjoyed the fireworks display in the evenings. While the dining options were a bit limited, I appreciated the half-price breakfast deal for guests.

The hotel had a great location, perfect for attending a special event. The rooms were clean and newly decorated with a lovely view, making for a comfortable stay. The service was excellent, with friendly staff, but I felt the price didn’t fully match the quality, especially considering I expected more given the $500 a night rate. While my overall experience was enjoyable, the dining options were a bit pricey, which was a drawback.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although a bit run-down and not exactly what I expected from the pictures, were comfortable enough for our needs. The service was exceptional, with incredibly helpful staff who made our stay enjoyable. The location overlooking the bay was beautiful, and the nearby activities were a plus. However, I was a bit disappointed with the dining options, especially the pricey buffet. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but with some areas needing improvement.
