Great location, service, and price!!!
They have a heated pool, which I loved. The staff was wonderful. They also give you some delicious cookies when you check in. The rooms were very clean. They have comfy beds and a nice shower. BIG towels. I was very satisfied with everything. The only thing I would say is they need a free continental breakfast. The breakfast was very pricy. Everything else was WONDERFUL!!!

a couples perfect get-away.
my boyfriend and i drove down to orlando, for a week getaway. the castle was the perfect spot for this. excellent location, outstanding breakfast, good gym, huge hot tub and pool. once in the gorgeous rooms it was complete bliss. the pillowtop mattresses put us right to sleep, and you cant hear a sound from the hallways. the only thing we were a little dissappointed by was when we came home from a meal at red lobster, we had no place to put our leftovers because there was no fridge in our room. im sure there are rooms that do offer this amenity though. over all it was an awesome stay and we will be back in september :)

the best experience!
The Hotel staff was great specially one named [...]....she was great and my daughter who is only 4 YO loved her so did we! We definatelly reconmend this hotel. the only thing I did not like was the charge for using internet from your room but you can always use free internet down by the lobby. before leavin I was impressed that the one time I used the internet from my room and a movie we watched never got charged to my visa as courtesy from the hotel. the experience was awesome. we will go back next year and use the same Hotel.

Very good... expensive internet.
We have stayed here before, and love the roof overlooks available to all guests. Overall great hotel, but if you want breakfast in the morning it is quite costly. Also, the hotel network was picked up by my laptop, but the internet was "not available". After calling for assistance the front desk gave me an ethernet cable to plug in, that worked great, but they charge $10.95/day for internet... ridiculous.

Home Away from Home
We were in town for a family wedding. The location is great, as many restaurants are within walking distance. It was a long drive to get there but, boy did we feel at home as soon as we arrived were were greeted and promptly checked - all went smoothly. Delicious warm cookies were given to us - YUM! I did see some kids around but I didn't hear them while we in our room, they were probably all in the pool. Bathrooms were clean, no smudges on the mirrors nor windows. The bed was not too tough and not too soft; we took a lil cat nap before the wedding. The bathroom was ample for hubby and I. I always enjoy that they have high-quality clean irons and ironing boards in the rooms. Lobby was nicely decorated. I didn't visit the pool, but I saw the pool area was well maintained - the water was a beautiful color. I look forward to my next visit.

Terrific Stay
We went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure while we were there. the staff were very accomodating, the beds are so comfortable and the pool was heated which made it extra special because we were so tired after the theme park. It was close to everything. We ordered a take out at Pasta Uno on our way back from Unniversal and enjoyed our meal at the hotel. We will definitely go back.
