The Continental breakfast was good, shirt drive to parks but overall dingy accomodations, room felt slightly damp from humidity. Someone with a key card, assuming staff, attempted to enter our room while we were sleeping. The top latch was fastened so they couldn't enter all the way but it was unsettling.

Everything was excellent. It was clean and the staff was pleasant. The pool is open until 11 which is a bonus. Parking is free, another added bonus because many of the neighboring hotels charge per night. The breakfast was also good and included in the stay and there was plenty to choose from. I gave a 4 on property and facilites because my sink has a leak which I realized after there was a puddle of water on the floor and my remote control didn’t work.

Everything was great at this hotel. My reservation was honored, My stay was pleasant and any inquiries I seeked, was answered. There was one time I didn't get fresh towels and when I asked at the front desk for some, they were given right away. Expedited service. Hotel service is great, the rooms are well maintained, they are clean and organized and a bit more modern (no carpets). They're equipped with electronic security locks, rooms have a fridge and microwave for your convivence and plenty of lighting. If you're on a high floor, you have a tremendous view. They have breakfast at this hotel with so many options to choose from whether it's cereal, pancakes, eggs, muffins, oatmeal, bacon, sausages, yogurts, fruits, english muffins, etc. The breakfast area is spacious and has lots of space, plus a very big with TV. There are 3 elevators, stairwells, air conditioning rooms and hallways, a swimming pool and plenty of parking for your car. They also have shuttle buses to theme parks. You're in good hands here.
