I can't say enough about how great this hotel is. The location is perfect, 5 minute drive to Busch Gardens, close to the highway should you want to venture beyond Busch Gardens. Close to upscale shopping centers, and every sort of fast food restaurant you heart desires. They have a shuttle that will take you to Busch Gardens thoughout the... More

Stayed with my two boys for 1 Wednesday night late August. Staff were helpful throughout - arrived around 11am and were able to check in - then they got the minibus to take us the mile to Busch Gardens - return trip was organised by asking Guest services at the Park to ring through for us - short delay but...

We stayed at this hotel after putting in a bid on Priceline. We LOVED it. Even though we purchased the room online thru another agency, the staff was friendly and upon checkin never asked for my priceline confirmation number or anything that would make someone feel akward, all they asked was last name and then number of people in the...

I stayed at the Double Tree from Aug 22 to Aug 26 with my elderly parents and 2 year old son--I was very very disappointed with the room--it smelled very bad! I was also disappointed with the amenities--First, the fridge in the room is located inside a cabinet--its a very small fridge--only holds like 3 coke cans! and its smelled... More

This is a motel with 2 rooms per guest. Nothing "Doubletree" about it. I was here for 2 nights. The first night, I was next to the restaurant, and the noises from the nearby road kept me up. I can sleep in NYC downtown without any issues, but this was just bad. The next night was better, as I moved... More

Don’t let the Double Tree name fool you as far as quality, there’s a lot to desire from this location. First the reception is less than welcome starting with the fact that when I arrived there were no cookies & the receptionist was involved in a long personal conversation & didn’t acknowledge me until I complained. The lobby looks like... More

Stayed here January 14th thru 17th 2005. The staff are very nice. The room is a good size, nice and clean. The bed is horrible. Very hard mattress,, most uncomfortable thing I have ever slept in. The hotel is a very close location to Busch Gardens. That I liked. We had a room that faced the pool. Nice atrium area.... More

The reason to stay here is the free shuttle to busch gardens, and it's proximity. Less than 5 minutes, lobby to gate. The Hotel itself has a nice layout and a friendly atmosphere. Nice pool and jacuzzi in the center of the property. It rained regularly during our stay in the florida area. So one thing of warning. Our room... More

I was a little hesitant to book a room near Busch Gardens, the area is not the safest appearing! I read the reviews about this hotel and took a chance. I was quite surprised.

My family and I spent 4 nights at this hotel - staff was friendly during check-in - room met expectations based upon feedback from other Tripadvisor guests - only problem was that after walking on the carpets in the room - our white socks turned a shade of grey. Not the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed at. Location was fine... More
