The room was perfect. It was clean and the breakfast was good. The shuttle runs late for Howl o scream but we had a friend drive anyway. I would stay here again for Howl o scream. Breakfast they had cinnamon buns, a pancake machine and those premade omelets. It is a perfect place to stay for Busch Gardens.
