Hotel stay was good
It was fine. Nice size room and building is okay. We were going to Busch Gardens so it was perfect to just shower and sleep overnight. It served its purpose.

Check in was easy. In our room a portable drill was left, the window shade had staples holding it somewhat together and the toilet kept running, had to take the tank cover off to play with guts to get it to stop. Noisy
