I would rate this stay as okay. The check in was somewhat difficult as there are only a couple of spaces on the curb for 15 minute parking to check in. These spots were taken by cars not checking in so we had to double park. The girl who checked us in was not very very friendly. She wasn't unfriendly but also wasn't as welcoming as I would expect. Our room also wasn't the cleanest. We found a blueberry on the floor and it looked like somone spilled a fruit drink on the bedspread. The breakfast was good and the coffee was also good. The location is also convenient and very close to old town. Parking in the underground parking was small and hard to navigate, it was also a little pricey. In all, the stay wasn't bad. It wasn't the best but it also wasn't amazing. I feel that the 8.6 it received is a little high. I would rate it closer to a 7.5

Loved walking to Old Town. The property is beautiful. We didn't like the way the rooms smelled but found everything else great. Upkeep is a little sloppy, I recognize it's an older hotel.

Really love the location. Do be aware that free parking is located along side streets which is not ideal. Underground parking is $30/per night extra. Was a very nice stay. Being able to easily walk through old town was fantastic. Hotel pool has nice view of SeaWorld allowed us to enjoy the evening fireworks in comfort. Breakfast was nice. Rooms were well taken care of. Will definitely recommend!

From the moment we arrived, our stay was filled with issues. When we walked into our room, we were shocked to find a spider on the pillow—not exactly a welcoming sight. Things only got worse when we saw the shower was covered in black mold, making it feel unsafe and unclean. We also paid $30 a day for parking, only to discover there were no available spots. It felt like we were being charged for a service the hotel couldn’t even provide. Overall, this stay was far below expectations in terms of cleanliness, value, and basic amenities. I would not recommend this hotel to others.
