Good price and location.

The rooms were clean and the staff very friendly. It has a nice pool, the hours could have been longer for the slide. Centrally located for the parks we were visiting.

Great couple / family stay.

Stayed at the hotel to relax and enjoy the pool. Utilized the free shuttle to Diney World, which was very useful. Breakfast buffet was good but a bit pricey. Room was comforatble and clean. Concierage Service offered park tickets/maps/information.

A lot of dining within walking distance. Supermarkets, pharmacy, gasoline, and tons of restaurants surround the hotel. About 3 Gift shops are also in walking distance.

Fun theme, good price but a little dated

Pros: Close to Disney resorts Fun safari theme for kids (the common space, restaurants, pool, etc all played to the theme Although we didn't go in, the pool looked like fun for kids) with a giant slide in the form of a python Price was reasonable Cons: The hotel felt like it hadn't been updated in a while (older bed coverings, showers, etc). It felt like it was designed in the 80's with 80's fabrics, materials and fixtures and then never really updated. Things weren't run down, it just looked like they've been reordering the same materials and fixtures as they did when they first opened it. The room was also decorated with African Art rather than being "safari themed." I only make the distinction in that from the pictures I thought my kids would think the room was really cool (safari themed), but instead they didn't notice (the room was in african colors with non safari related african paintings rather than being safari themed).

Decent and good location

We stayed here for the price mostly. The hotel is just minutes away from all of the Disney attractions which made it incredibly convenient. The staff was friendly with the exception of the maid staff which would mumble under their breath as I passed them sometimes. The rooms were clean enough but definitely not spotless. The TV's had basic cable so the kids could tune out to Cartoon Network at the end of the day but if there was a storm outside it all went too fuzzy to watch. They don't offer any complimentary breakfast but do offer a breakfast buffet. The food was average and, sorry for nit-picking, but they have these "make your own Belgium waffle" waffle-irons that don't work at all. If I'm going to pay for food, I'd prefer it to be prepared FOR me and not BY me. The best part of the hotel was the pool. It was very, very clean and has a great slide plus a separate kids pool. If you need a place to sleep and plan on spending the rest of you trip outside at the pool or at the Florida attractions then this is an excellent hotel for the money.

All of the Disney attractions have large signs pointing towards whichever park you want to go to. They made it really easy to find our way to and from the parks.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

All types of restaurants within walking distance along with a 7-eleven, Dunkin donuts, Walgreens pharmacy, and souvenier shops. Downtown disney about a 15 minute walk, just incase the shuttle drops you off, but wont come back to pick you up.
