Room unmade, dirty sheets, towels on floor. Front desk says we could come get clean stuff and make the room ready ourselves, since they did not have staff in the evening to do that. When I became agitated (on the phone), the front desk told me that if I got "short" with him, I'd go nowhere and get nothing done!... More

Staff was unpleasant. The room was horrible the top comforter was filthy. I got a rash while there. It was horrible and due to Busch Gardens location the area of town was not up to my standards given it is a major theme park. Future trips to Busch Gardens will not include an overnight stay! More

If you can't afford better then this, you should sleep in your car! I was traveling to Busch Gardens with family who weren't savvy travelers and they booked this place through Orbitz - they apparently didn't read the reviews on Orbitz because those are all horrible. We pull into this place and it's like an old no-tell motel built in... More

This hotel should be bull-dozed, it is so horribly disgusting! We got an on-line deal for a two day stay and paid in advance. Once we saw the place, and checked in, we checked right out! We will be out the two days of pre-payment but we absolutely could not stay there. The place was dirty, the remote control would... More

Booked this motel because of the great deal in the travelers coupon booklet. People you get what you pay for! We walked in the room and just shortly after, walked right back out and demanded a refund. The location was NOT a safe community! When we walked in the room, it smelled like mold and mildew so bad it made... More

I am a frequent traveller and have stayed in all kinds of hotels. This place is the worst ever. I have never rated any hotel before beacuse of my laziness, but couldn't help complaining about this one. Our room has a disgusting smell; the bathroom door is broken, so it cannot be closed; the bathtub is clogged; there is mold... More
