Very poor quality. Not on par with adjacent hotel options. No breakfast included. High resort fee with poor amenities. Renovations were in progress during our stay making the hallways smell like fresh paint, dirty elevators with walls covered in cardboard for contractors throughout. High parking fee. Only redemption is convenient location across from theme parks.

The elevators were hardly working. Several days I had to use the stairs to get to my room on the eighth floor. I am also very unhappy with the hidden fees. I was charged a “destination fee” for every day I was there. No explanation, but an added expense. Parking was $27 a day, and I wasn’t aware that I had to pay for parking until AFTER I booked the room. Most hotels provide free parking for the stay, or work the parking fees into the room cost. It was deceptive because I thought I was getting a good deal. I would have looked for a different location if I had known about the hidden fees.
