I got this hotel when I booked on Hotwire. I got a pretty good (read: low) rate, so I won't be too harsh, but I would not pay full rate for this hotel. I stayed here with my family for 5 nights for our Disney vacation. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on a hotel because we planned to stay in the parks all day. Hence the reason for finding a low-priced hotel on Hotwire.
The Negatives: The rooms are small, have very thin walls and floors/ceilings so noise from next door or above is a big issue. There were tours of kids in the hotel while we were there and was very noisy at night. Also, Housekeeping cleaned our room everyday, but the cleanliness of the bathroom was suspect at times, especially the tub and floor.
Otherwise, the good points of this hotel are: Free limited hot breakfast, free High-Speed Internet, free parking and the hotel has a pool and fitness center. I didn't use any of the services above except eating breakfast 2 days and parking my vehicle. Beware of other rude guests in the morning taking more than they need at breakfast leaving little for others in line. I would recommend hitting the breakfast early to avoid that situation! I stayed during Spring Break and there were large tour groups in the hotel so maybe that only happens when groups are there. Another good point is that the entire staff was very friendly. I did not meet a single rude or indifferent employee. I think this is a family owned and operated hotel, so that might be part of the reason, but not all the employees are related. The friendliness was in their service culture.
The hotel is only about 5 miles from Disney World and 2.5 miles from Downtown Disney/Lake Buena Vista cross roads area, so it is convenient. Would I stay there again? Probably not despite all the positives listed above due to the negative reasons I listed. But for the low price I paid on Hotwire, it could have been worse. Thankfully it wasn't.
