Clean, spacious, and walking distance to Disney

Stayed here for two nights whilst visiting Disney, and really couldn't knock it for the price. Location was within walking distance of Disney (approximately a 15 minutes brisk walk). Car parking was spacious and free, which was one of the reasons we booked this hotel. You could even see the Disney fireworks going off towards the back of the hotel. Whilst the hotel is located off a busy road, the rooms are far enough away from the road so that you are not disturbed by the road noise. Check in was quick, simple and hassle-free. The receptionist even gave us an extra hour to check out slightly later than the advertised time. Room was very spacious and also clean. Toiletries (although limited) were restocked daily with the housekeeping. Bed comfortable enough, large sink area outside of the bathroom, and a decent sized fridge. Air con worked well, but as with most motels/hotels like this, it was a little noisy. Typical of the style of air con unit they fit, but it was efficient at cooling the room. Only minor criticism was that there was no safe in the room, but thats also not unusual either. Definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Disney, as it's close enough to walk there, but far enough away from all of the hustle and bustle around the parks to ensure you have a good night's sleep.

This motel was very nice. The front end staff was a little rude at first but everyone else was great. It was quiet had alot of charging ports and it was very clean. There was all sorts of good shopping around and it was easy to get to.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and seemed to be somewhat updated, though not for comfort. All surfaces were pretty uncomfortable. The room did have a smell. Walls are very thin; we could hear neighbors singing and talking. Parking is limited and fairly compact. Check-in process was quick and smooth.

They were very friendly and overall the room was clean. The only issue I had was the towles did not look clean and they were rough and the pillows were very flat. I had to go buy pillows so I could sleep comfortably. I would stay again but I hope they get better towels and pillows.
