Great proximity to Downtown Disney and the Parks

My wife and I had a great experience and the people there were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Early checkin was not a problem. It has great proximity to downtown disney (within a short walk) and the parks (free shuttles provided every 30 min.)

Could Be Better

Upon out arrival in the room we found we could only get hot water in the bathroom sink. Maintenance man was prompt and did his best to resolve the problem, but it didn't last. We had a ADA-Compliant room and we had the last one available, so we could not change rooms. Roll-in shower floor not set right for adequate drainage so water went all over bathroom floor. Also, personal shower head was on side wall of shower facing out into bathroom instead of one end or the other where water may have been contained a little better. Lock on bathroom door did not work and heat lamp didn't really seem to give much heat. Air conditioner in room seemed to run all the time, even when set on auto. Had to turn off several times to stay comfortable. We were only able to stay 2 nights so we managed, but if our stay was longer, we would have changed rooms as soon as possible.

Family getaway

I traveled with a 4 & 13 year old for a family trip to disney and we wanted to enjoy the pool a couple of days considering we were staying for 13 days. The heater on the pool was broken the entire stay. We had bugs in our bathroom for the first week. The staff was rude to me at the beginning of the stay but then began to get alot nicer towards the end of the stay. It is a short walk to downtown disney which is nice.

Downtown Disney is about a 10-15 minute walk which has plenty of shopping and dining. The hotel also has a shuttle that starts a 6pm till 3am every 30 minutes that goes there.

Comfortable stay

After a long day at Disney Magical Kingdom my family and I went to the hotel. The valet staff was so friendly. Checked in and was happy to see that they offered wi-fi. The hotel room was nice and clean great view of the city from our balcony. There was also a bus shuttle that goes every 30 minutes to downtown disney. It was nice not having to drive. We would definately recommend this hotel.

Good Spot

First impression was nice, but the front desk clerk didn't clearly explain how to get to the room (thru the elevators), we had to ask twice and no map was provided. The interiors were great, except for a area of wetness and mold on our ceiling in the room. The ice machine on our floor was out of order. Being able to get Pizza Hut was a plus and the bar was nice. The pool was decent as well. Overall a good stay, but could have been better. We were staying for the location, a concert at House of Blues.
