We stayed at the Hawthorn/Savana suites last year and found it fab. the staff were friendly, housekeeping very good. The breakfast is okay, nothing overly special but filling and free. The pool was very clean and we saw the men cleaning it every day whilst we were eating breakfast. the rooms were great and we found we have plenty of space for me my DH, and 3 DS. the fridge and full cooking facilities also came in handy as some nights we just wanted to crash out in the room after being at the parks all day and we bought hot dogs, fruit, etc, fries and made our own meals. The hotel overall was very clean. the only problems were that we couldnt rely on the shop there as it never seemed to be open and didnt stock much., and the shuttle, There was three pickups every morning and three back to the hotel, but you had to decide on the morning what time you would be returning and then most times the shuttle would be too full and you would have to squeeze on, allthough on the plus side, the drivers were very friendly and helpful and it is only about the third drop so you are not on the shuttle for long, Maybe ten/fifteen minutes.
I would highly recommend this hotel, it is cheap without being short of anything. In fact I will be staying at the Hawthorn again next August, but the one near seaworld, as being non drivers we wanted to be on the trolley route.
