Staff was great…room size was nice and large…quiet and beds very comfortable
We only stayed one night. The treatment I was receiving from Moffitt Cancer Center made it difficult for my wife to rest comfortably.
The staff was excellent! The room was right across from the elevator bay, which made it a little noisy. Anyway, all things considered I would probably stay there again.
Staff was amazing, rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable, complimentary coffee, ice water, great breakfast choices ....just overall a great place to stay and very convenient to Moffitt Cancer Center.
I was so pleased with my experience at the Hyatt Place Busch Gardens. Sam was so friendly during my late night check in and really set the tone for the entire stay. The room was spotless and I was delighted that housekeeping came in each day to make the bed and restock any items I had used. The breakfast bar was full of delicious options and all the staff I encountered where accommodating and kind. I will definitely stay again on my next visit.

Staff was very friendly. The rooms need to be updated.
Room was nice but on smaller side. Area not the greatest/ safe looking but they are very busy with tourist for the proximity to a theme park. I was in town for business so that didn’t apply to me. Friendly staff and comfortable bed. Breakfast pretty good. They do charge $12 a day parking which I didn’t realize. Feel that’s steep and my company prefers to not pay parking fees so I will have to factor that in for future stays.
It was a very good experience staying for vacation, the views of Busch Gardens from the room were excellent and the food served in the mornings was delicious.
