The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
This hotel provides exceptionally large rooms and free daily breakfast directly across the street from SeaWorld and Aquatica. Guests appreciate the comfortable queen beds, free outdoor parking, and convenient theme park shuttle. However, thin walls leave rooms vulnerable to noise from neighbors, hallway elevators, and ground-floor foot traffic. Bathrooms also lack tubs for small children, and occasional maintenance hiccups like broken shower knobs cause frustration. 312913
