We stayed here in August '08. The lobby/breakfast area was undergoing renovations ... Overall the hotel looked a little outdated, not kept up too well. Keeping this in mind I would still say it is/was a good hotel, especially considering the nightly rate of 18 (!) euros/night. It isn't as close to Disney as some other hotels, but it's close... more

We liked it very much there. Check-In was quick. Staff was ok, we had a problem once with the air condition, it was fixed right away. Rooms were clean, except the occasional black hair on the towels... We were close to the lobby and the covered pool. The pool was very nice, clean, and sometimes heated (it was cooler on... more

I am not sure why someone would say that their stay at this hotel was great. It is by far the worst hotel or motel that I have stayed in in my life! We got there on July 4th, which of course is a busy day and I understand that. The night manager first could not find our reservation. Then,... more
