I liked that this property was close to Sea World, our main reason for staying. “Continental Breakfast” was disappointing; very limited with only cereal, milk, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, toast. Don’t expect scrambled eggs, sausage, fruits etc that usually come with the whole continental spread. Our room was clean at first entry. We came back from Sea World and found our beds were made; however, our restroom looked like it had been used (#2) and wasn’t flushed all the way. I’m quite sure we didn’t leave the restroom like that. The sink and shower had poor drainage as well. TV remote wasn’t working properly. They’re in the middle of a remodel or something so parking is limited and a bit dusty. Overall I wanted to like this place, but the little things that went wrong added up to too much inconvenience for our family. Maybe it was just a bad luck stay.

Example: Do you have more shampoo? No, we do not have more . Can you clean the room? sorry, we are short of staff today. The service at this hotel was disappointing. The hotel was often short on supplies when asked, such as shampoo, and very limited food and drinks at breakfast. They were also short of staff when we asked for our room to be cleaned. We found ants in our beds, walls and tables various times. The room air and conditioning felt old and moldy, and irritated our throats/lungs -- my wife got sick. This is not a negative feedback, but have to consider the comments. Good they started to renovate the rooms, but also need to revised their service process to the customers.
