I am looking into this hotel as it is one of the few that have the shuttle to Busch Gardens. We are staying in Orlando due to cheaper flight prices.
I have been reading the reviews and they are HORRIBLE!
Anyone have experience there?
THanks!
We stayed there a few times over the years and it was ok until our last visit in Sept 2012. This hotel has gone downhill very quickly. We arrived at 3am after a 11 hr drive for a 1 night stay. We entered the room and it was just dampness and mildew smell. The sheet even felt damp . We asked to change rooms and the second room was the same. If it had not been 4 am by this time we would have left, but we were exhausted and slept on the damp sheets. It was GROSS!!! We checked as soon as we woke up. I voiced my complaint to the the front desk and vowed to never return!!!!!
Will you have a car? If yes drive to bg. No car? Will you be going to wdw or other Orlando parks? Pick a hotel with good price good reviews and good shuttle to parks. Walk or taxi to bg shuttle stop. How many days? What parks?
I would probably rent a car and just drive back and forth. The days are flexible depending on the airfare. Maybe 3-5 days.
I have been researching other hotels since this one had such bad reviews.
We have done the Disney parks, Universal and Cocoa Beach. So we want to hit the west coast action.
I stayed in june 2012 and it was fine. Cleaning and security are main factors to me, so I'd remember if it smelled or was dirty. The room was fine, not like Jonell described. I'm worried after reading his post cause I'll be again there on this march 27. And maybe it's too late to change hotel and find a cheap good alternative.
