Pros (+) Breakfast options were great minus the pancake machine erroring out several times making the wait longer vs. quick and easy.
Cons (-) 1) Pool was not heated as advertised, temperature was too cold and yet we promised our kids a chance to go swimming which was a total let down. 2) shower leaked everywhere- took 3 bath towels to soak it all up but still slippery.

Pros (+) The hotel was very close to Busch Gardens, We went back and forth a few times during the day and did the night excursion, so a few trips, But since it was so close it was not a bother. The rooms are clean and the staff is very friendly. I like that in a hotel... Breakfast was very good for a buffet, nothing overly fancy but good and filling.
Cons (-) Whirlpool did not work in the room but I am sure that will be fixed soon. The rest of the hotel was in very good repair and well groomed.
