This is my third visit to this hotel. They never disappoint. I was very happy to see some improvements done with new carpet and flat screens. It's nice to go somewhere and see familiar faces and be recognized and called by name. Danielle, Dayssi, and Bill went out of their way to make our trip exceptional.

We moved into this Best Western after a horrible experience at the Travelodge across the street. Our Club Wyndham Travel agent was able to find us two rooms here with all of the amenities we needed. The rooms were spacious and quiet with no outside noise from the parking lot. The complimentary breakfast was comparable to a small restaurant, and... More

Location was close to LOTS of dining options, Busch Gardens was about 7-10 minutes away. Outlet mall & New Town shopping area within 10 min also. Seems to be used for large groups of kids a lot as the pool was overtaken by 15 children at once & lots of running up & down the halls with little supervision. Fresh... More

We chose this hotel due to the location and price. There are LOTS of hotels to choose from in the area so the choice was not easy. We were very happy with the hotel, even with it filled with young kids on school trips (it was also Spring Break for my family). The staff was wonderful and accommodating. When the... More

The location of this hotel is perfect. A school group was staying here, but we never heard them - a credit to their chaperones. We paid a larger fee per evening as it was spring break & the rates were increased. A large group was at breakfast, but very manageable. Our frustrating part was our hotel phone had a dead... More

The staff is wonderful. They remember our names when we arrive. They know our favorite room and always try to have it available at our request. On our wedding anniversary the staff surprised us with a cake and chocolate kisses in our room. The hotel amenities are many and fun. I love the indoor pool and sauna. We come year... More
