Fantastic Stay Near the Parks!

kind manager convenient location clean rooms

I found Stephanie, the manager, super kind. She helped my family member get into a more comfortable room. The location proves very convenient for trips to the Disney parks! I loved the clean rooms. Plus, the quiet area provided restful nights.

I noticed that the bathroom door worked as a sliding door. I thought this was a very minor inconvenience.

The hotel provides a washing machine for guest use, very convenient for longer stays, so I could refresh my clothes after busy days at the parks. Free parking is available , and that really helps save on additional expenses.

This hotel offers easy access to several dining options, which includes a variety of cuisines within a short distance. Animal Kingdom is accessible in only about 10-15 minutes by car. It is amazing when you are trying to maximize park time.

Dated Hotel with Deficiencies

outdated room poor water pressure

The location proved convenient with multiple stores nearby.

This hotel felt quite old, and the room was neglected. Several light bulbs were out, very dim. The shower head looked like it hadn't been updated in decades. The water pressure was so low that showering became a test of patience.
