Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the clean and spacious rooms perfect for our family. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made our experience even better. However, the dining options left something to be desired and could use more variety. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the Disney parks, although sometimes crowded. Overall, it was a good value for money despite a few drawbacks.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with friendly staff and a great location close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The service was fantastic, especially since they made my birthday and my granddaughter's visit special. However, the rooms were quite cold and needed maintenance, which was disappointing. The dining prices felt a bit high compared to other nearby options, so it wasn't the best value for money.
The hotel had some great features like clean and comfortable rooms, but the service left a bit to be desired. While the location is a major plus being so close to Disney attractions, the overall value was affected by additional fees like parking. The dining options were on the pricier side, which was disappointing compared to similar places nearby.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite clean, and the view from my window was amazing. However, I did encounter some ants in the bathroom, which was not ideal. The staff's attitude varied; some were fantastic while one was quite rude. The location was great for accessing Disney, especially with the shuttle service, but it was noisy at times due to kids in the halls.
I found the hotel to be in a great location, just a short, free water taxi ride to the Disney Boardwalk, which was perfect for dining and shopping. The rooms were a bit outdated and not overly clean when I checked in, but the shuttle service was a major perk. While the service was pleasant, I encountered some rude staff who didn’t provide accurate directions, which was frustrating after a long day at the park.
This hotel offers a great escape, especially if you're looking to visit Disney parks. My room was not only ready early but also super comfy and clean, which made my stay enjoyable. The service was fantastic, but I noticed some unruly behavior at the pool area, which could be improved. Overall, I felt the price I paid was reasonable for the experience I had.
The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to get around and close to various attractions. However, the room I stayed in had some issues with cleanliness and odor. On the plus side, the service provided by the staff was excellent, and the hotel offered some great amenities despite the dining experience not meeting expectations. Overall, I had a pleasant stay, but there's room for improvement in a couple of areas.
I recently stayed at this hotel and while the location was fantastic, just a short walk to Epcot, the room wasn’t quite up to my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive despite some confusion, but the dining could use some improvement as the breakfast line was frustratingly long. Overall, it had a lot of potential but some aspects felt lacking.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was really convenient, just a short walk to Epcot and other attractions, the room was quite small and came with an unpleasant odor. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to assist me, but the hotel could definitely benefit from some renovations. Overall, there's great potential, but a few areas really need improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is truly fantastic, making it easy to access the Disney parks with convenient boat and bus transportation. The staff was outstandingly friendly and helpful. However, I did face some issues with my room being ready late, and there was a somewhat obstructive view due to construction. Dining options could be better as well, especially for breakfast, which felt overpriced for what was offered.
