We came on a mini Honeymoon to the hotel with our two big dogs. The check in service was very easy and quick. We were placed in room 649. Upgraded from what our original request of a king room to a king kids suite. Although we do not have children the space was nice and big. We really enjoyed the mini bar and the room was pretty clean. It did smell like smoke when we walked in but after a few minutes that subsided.
My only real complaint was although we were high up and the noise was less, we stressed about our dogs making noise and stayed hotel bound for most of our trip in fear we would get charged with the policy fee, but we actually were woken up several times by slamming doors, screaming and banging. In return it caused our dogs to bark and howl.
Over all the pool was fantastic the beds were comfortable and the staff were friendly. The Applebee's on site is hit or miss. Our dinner on the first night was take-out and was terrible. The breakfast buffet was very nice but I stuck to the menu for most of the trip.
All in all the hotel is really wonderful. Close to Seaworld and Aquatica which we visited and Universal and Islands which we also went to. Would recommenced this for anyone with Pets as well as those looking for a nice value get away.
