I was kind of timid booking here based on the reviews months ahead but I am not sure why they stated what they stated because this resort is beautiful! The resort at first glance looks small so you don't realize how big it actually is but it’s HUGE!! Our unit overlooked the pool which we all ENJOYED!! The rooms are... More

We stayed at this hotel in April 2013. We had enjoyed our stay until the last day when we decided to have a pool day. Our companions were staying in the next room to ours. I was the last person to leave my room and as I was leaving, I noticed that the maid was in our friends room cleaning... More

We stayed (my husband and I) this past weekend. We checked in on Friday and out on Monday. I have to say, this hotel is very very nice. We are annual pass holders at WDW, and live in PA. Some of our trips we really cant afford to always stay on property, so we used Hotwire, in the Downtown Disney... More

We (family of 7) stayed here many times because it was cheap. Yes it was a little run-down, but small kids, and starting parents are willing to overlook things to save money. THEN THE REMODEL OCCURRED. This place is beautiful. Marble floors and granite in our 2-Queen bed room. The room was spacious, (you probably could have put a third... More

Wow RNGasman! What can we say other than Welcome Back! Just speechless after reading your review. There is nothing that makes all the hard work and effort done by everyone from Ownership to the housekeeping team during a renovation more worth it than a comment like that. Thank you!

We stayed here 9-14th May 2013..... we had a really good experience. There was a couple of things that did not impress me and I believe I was misled.... the shuttles to the different Disney parks only go back and forth ONCE. Not multiple times..... so we caught the shuttle in the morning and took a taxi back when we... More

Located a 15 minute drive from Disney, Universal Studio's and International DR right around the corner, the location can be called very good (if this is the purpose of your visit!).
