6.0/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is great and the staff was friendly, the rooms left a lot to be desired with their dated decor and cleanliness issues. The service was decent, but the dining options were quite expensive for what was offered. Overall, it has its perks, but I expected more for the price.

Rooms

5.0

The room we stayed in was spacious but quite dated, with stains on the carpet, and the view was less than ideal as it overlooked a rooftop fan.

Service

7.0

The staff was friendly and respectful, always ensuring our comfort, but there were a lot of interruptions from maintenance work during the day.

Location

8.0

The location is attractive, and I appreciated the availability of cold water near the pool, but it could be a bit noisy with kids around.

Dining

5.0

Dining was a letdown; everything felt overpriced, and the variety was limited, which made it hard to enjoy meals.

Facilities

6.0

The pool area had screens to watch games, which was great, but the overall upkeep doesn't quite match up with higher-end hotels.

5.8/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, being close to Disney without the chaos of being right there. The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful, but the rooms were a letdown – outdated and noisy. The dining options were pricey and not very fulfilling. In terms of facilities, there were a few fun things for kids, but some were closed or not operational, which was disappointing for my family.

Rooms

5.0

The room was quite small and outdated, with a really loud air conditioning unit outside, which made it hard to relax. It didn’t have the view of the fireworks like we were told, as we were on the wrong side.

Service

7.0

The service was friendly and accommodating. The staff made an effort to meet our needs, although I found the luggage situation a bit inconvenient with the need to drag things onto a shuttle.

Location

8.0

The location was nice and convenient, close to restaurants and not far from Disney. It was great to be near the attractions without being in the middle of the madness.

Dining

5.0

We found the dining options pretty overpriced for what you get. While there was a Starbucks in the lobby, everything else seemed to require spending a lot just for a basic meal or drink.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities had potential, especially for families, but many were shut down or had machines that were out of order, leaving my kids feeling disappointed.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just minutes away from the Disney parks, making it very convenient. The staff is friendly and welcoming, but I was quite disappointed with the room cleaning service and the overall outdated feel of the decor. The dining options were decent, but the noise levels were quite frustrating at times. Considering the price, it’s a reasonable choice for a budget stay, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were old and could use some updating, featuring textured beige walls that made them feel a bit cheap.

I had a decent stay at the hotel; it's clean and comfortable with a friendly staff that made me feel welcomed. However, I found the dining options quite overpriced and not up to par.

8.0/10

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, and I loved how soundproof they were—couldn’t hear a thing from the hall! The location is convenient, with lots of nearby activities and restaurants. However, I did run into some issues with the service, as there was no valet available, leading to a long wait. Overall, it offered good value for the price, but there were a few hiccups.

7.6/10

I had a decent stay at the hotel with some fun amenities and a great location close to the theme parks. While the rooms were a bit cramped with only double beds instead of queens, they offered a nice balcony. The service was friendly but could've been better with some communication regarding other parking options. Dining options were plenty but on the pricey side.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms had a balcony and a mini fridge, but they were supposed to have queen-sized beds, which turned out to be doubles. The view wasn't the priority here.

Service

7.0

The check-in was super speedy and they offered us the room for free when we inquired about it. However, there was some noise from maintenance which was a bit disruptive.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is perfect for those planning to visit Disney, Universal, or SeaWorld parks, making it very convenient for family fun.

Dining

The dining options were expansive with tons of choices, but I felt everything was priced quite high, including food and drinks.

The facilities were decent, especially the large screens over the pool which added a fun element for fitness enthusiasts.
