Not bad but needs some improvement.
10 minutes after we checked into our room my 12 year old stepped on shards of glass that was on the carpet and cut his foot. The front desk did give us some first aid supplies, but there is no reason several pieces of small glass shouldn’t have been vacuumed up in between guests using the room. Several of the wall electrical outlets just did not work at all and our key cards did not want to work most the time. The employees were friendly and provided good service and the breakfast was good. This hotel just good use a little bit of updating and more attention to detail on housekeeping maybe. It is very close to Busch Gardens which is convenient if you are going there.
