It is a nice hotel, with excellent location. Has a shuttle service to Disney. The buffet option is good for the price. I would go back again. The pool was excellent.

Weekenders

We went to Orlando for the weekend to visit the disney parks. The hotel is conveniently located near downtown disney. The hotel was clean and the furnishings had been updated. The bathroom could use some work but it was also clean. We spent some time by the pool. The pool area was well kept and the tranquil. They have a breakfast buffet in the lobby. It wasn't great but it was easy and cheaper than eating at the theme park. I would stay there again for that type of stay.

Good location

The location was convenient to Disney parks. The room was a nice size, but the awkward configuration of the bathroom and one of the beds blocked the view of the TV in the bedroom when the door was open. The room was extremely humid, so the furniture was moist. The beds were comfortable. There were ants on the kitchen counter and the nightstand. We just had to be careful not to keep food there. The hotel offers transportation to the theme parks, but we did not use this, because of the limited pick up times. The breakfast was very good - a buffet with a lot of selections and omelets cooked to order. The hotel staff were very courteous and friendly.

OK

when we arrived Front desk staff was super friendly. The room was okay, it's not the most modern rm but its ok. What I didn't like was one bed sheet was kinda dirty. Good location you have many food places really near hotel. Downtown Disney is not far from hotel. Decent hotel.

Lovely time in Nov 2012

Stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks. The hotel was well situated within easy walking distance to restaurants and down town Disney. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were nice and spacious, the only thing that let it down a bit were the beds. They were normal double beds, which when you have 6 foot sons and your used to king size beds they felt very small. Never had small beds when staying in the US before. We took the opera unity to look at the suits which was a strange layout, the 2 beds in the room again were doubles, with a bed settee in the lounge area, the bathroom was off the bedroom, which if there was some one staying in the lounge area, they had to go through your bedroom to get to the bathroom. Free tea and coffee in the lobby was nice to come back to after a long day in the parks. There was also cookies and popcorn. Free shuttle bus to the outlets when pre ordered. The pool and hot tub was clean and heated, at all times of the day, which was very relaxing. Overall a great hotel, which I would stay in again.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

The hotel has shuttle busses to and from the parks at certain times of the day, which were not always the times we wanted to go, so we walked to the Best Western and used their bus as they run every half hour. We also got the bus back to the Best Western from the park. As it was out of season it was fine.

okay stay

For some reason the hotel was having issues with there suites. I stayed in a room one night and move to another room in the morning. Took a while to get settle in. Once we got settle, the room was great. It had everything we needed. It was comfortable. The location of the hotel was okay, had a lot of stores and resturants. It was close to the theme parks. The only bad thing about the location was the areas was over crowded and traffic was terrible. Overall, the stay was okay.
