Amerisuites Busch Gardens

Pros: No bugs, pretty entry/lobby, nice front desk staff.
Cons: Stains on carpet, dirty pool, bad elevator/housekeeper setup.

I stayed in this hotel two nights as part of a group rate for a wedding with an awesome rate, which was the number one reason for staying here. I have never stayed at an Amerisuites and this hotel didn't leave me with much of a desire to ever stay in ...

Pros: Swimming pool is nice, and there are a lot of stores/restaurants within walking distance.
Cons: Everything else.

We stayed here in March 2002.

Upon checking-in we noticed small cock-roaches crawling on counter in our kitchenette. We called the front-desk and they sent the hotel repairman up to spray our room.

We went to the pool for...

Pros: Good Location, Clean and Spacious Rooms, Good Rates
Cons: Uncomfortable Pullout Sofa, Staff seemed lazy

Pros:
My family and I stayed at the AmeriSuites near Busch Gardens in April of 2002. We checked in quickly and efficiently and proceeded to our room on the 2nd floor. I found the lobby, hallways, and elevators to be clean and well maintained. We...

Pros: Close to Busch Gardens, a good value for the area.
Cons: Stained Rugs, Broken TV, Lumpy Mattress, not up to the standards of the chain.

Ameri"suites" starts off with a lie in the name.

These ain't suites.

If it was a suite there would be a Door between the front room and the bedroom.

There is only an archway.

Lucky for me on this trip the kids were worn out enough to go right to sleep both nights.
There is nothing like running around a Really Great theme park for wearing out kids.

Having got that little annoyance out of the way:
Prior stays at other Ameri"suites" had been pleasant. Nice spacious well-maintained and well-equipped rooms; a pool, a mini-gym and a decent breakfast buffet.

This one, however, Sucked.
Stained carpets.
Lumpy mattress.
Lousy TV reception.
Unresponsive staff.

Sure, the sofa bed was uncomfortable, but they always are.

On the plus side:
Good hot water...
In-room safe (perfect to stash the laptop)
Convenient to shopping and Busch Gardens.
Nice lobby, ok buffet.

And the price was very good, effectively 70$/night with a park ticket package. For this area, in season, that is a pretty good price for a modern hotel.

So overall, while not a good example of the chain, it certainly was a good value.
