Frommer's "What appears to be a rather simple-looking hotel from the exterior gives way to an inviting and modern interior, with trendy touches throughout." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Recent renovations have made this upscale resort even more impressive than before."
Rough Guide "An upmarket hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms, a bright and airy atrium, an onsite spa, and a good location directly opposite SeaWorld Orlando. $249."
Michelin Guide "The exterior of the ten floor hotel... situated close to Sea World and other area attractions, is architecturally uninspiring, but its interior reveals a cavernous sunlit atrium."
Star Service "Located across the road from Sea World, this Shamu-sized hotel continues to prove one of the best hotels outside of the park." Full review
Gayot "Across from SeaWorld Orlando, this hotel is among the finest off harried International Drive."
Zagat3.5
"Whether "for business or pleasure", this "beautiful" Orlando resort, "right across from SeaWorld", offers an "air of luxury"."
Fodor's "With a vast and airy 10-story atrium full of ponds, palm trees, and, ironically, a sushi bar, this SeaWorld neighbor underwent a substantial renovation in 2013." Full review
