Room and staff are excellent, I take issues with the parking costs 34 dollars a night, such is more than some of the universal resorts charge, but at least those parking areas are covered. Then there's the concession downstairs... $4.50 for a can of coke. The hotel is outside the theme park, not part of it or in it. This shows a willingness to price gouge they're own paying customers. If available, take a look at one of the identically priced on premises resorts...
