8/10 Good

"This hotel is very family oriented. I love that it didn't smell like Marijuana lol. Most hotels stink of it and it's really sad for the guests that have children and don't want to smell that garbage. THIS HOTEL WAS FREE FROM THAT STENCH! I loved the pool with the splash pad and wet gym. The hot tub was hot but not bubbles! It's really not a hot tub without the bubbles but im sure it'll be fixed soon. The saunas were fantastic. Breakfast buffet was really good. Only I would have liked the bacon cooked a bit more. Crispy bacon with syrup is the best. So much food to choose from and that made it great. Room was basic. Small fridge Small 1 cup coffee maker but no microwave (bummer). All in all it was a nice stay. Beds were okay. Oh and first floor near lobby is the absolute noisiest area to have a room! Slamming of doors was a bit much. I wish the hotels would put rubber stoppers or noise reduction foam door strips or SOMETHING, ANYTHING to cut down on the noise from Slamming doors! 😖 Still, my family said it was great and want to return to this hotel next time we go to Disney. It's 7 minutes away from Animal Kingdom and 11min away from Magic Kingdom so that's very close without the Disney resort prices. I give this hotel an 7 out of 10. And I definitely recommend you give it a try. It's not a luxury hotel but it is a family and BUDGET friendly hotel. Also pet friendly which is great. And W AG.COM is what I used for dog walking. Kristina Mullin is the best walker EVER."

10/10 Excellent

"Property overall was clean. Staff was friendly and check in and out was nice and easy. Room was clean, besides fruit flies coming from the sink drain. We like that it was centrally located to many entertainment areas and resteraunts. The Room setup was phenomenal. kitchenette was nice, bath was large, and the living room setup was great. Also like the single outside entrance and the 2 room entrances so you could go away with 2 families. I would stay here again 100%"
