The noise of kids running through the hallway was disruptive. The disrespectful guests staying on the 3rd floor above us were loud, constantly running, and heavy walking around, keeping us awake for hours while we were trying to sleep. Kids were out of control. I would not stay there again.

Ashley was delightful at check in! Breakfast was decent, food was delayed one day. Sadly there were people outside across the street in the middle of the day doing illegal drugs. We reported to the front desk and did not see them again.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, only 8 minutes away from sea world and 10 minutes away from the airport. The breakfast has everything you need to start your day and the laundry room is very well equipped. All the staff was very attentive and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. I was forgetting about the great price!

Day 1 ran out of food for breakfast. Day 2 started serving 3 hours late. Day 3 breakfast was good. I like the hotel but the area around is dirty and there's lots of homeless people everywhere. It was ok though. You have to park on the street if you don't want to pay for parking. Lots of off street parking though.

This was our 1st time at this property based on other guest reviews so we decided to give BW a chance. There is a parking chaege but felt that it was secured and there are ample stalls available. There is street parking, but park at your own risk. Check-in was very fast and efficient. Upon entering the room, strong smell of bleach/chlorine greeted us at the door each time we came in. Im not sure if that's good or bad. Room was spacious with 2 queens & sofabed. Queen beds were comfy Pillows could be a little more fluffy, we got 4 flat pillows on each bed. Sofabed mattress was very uncomfortable, springs poking out and only 1 flat sheet. Microwave was not clean, leftover food still caked on the rotating dish. Didnt want to complain since we didnt really use it but did end up washing it ourselves bc it was gross. Laundry machines are new and was very convenient to have at the end of our stay. Breakfast buffet was a hit or miss. Arrive early to get the waffles,& eggs or end up getting whatever is left. We slept in on most of our days but its nice knowing this hotel offers complimentary breakfast. Location is next to the freeway and close by to shops & restaurants. Overall, stay was pleasant and would consider staying again.
