Not worth it
Pros:

Location and proximity to disney parks as well as the free shuttle

Cons:

Quite possibly the worst hotel I stayed at. Room had a very strong mildew smell and possible water leakage, bathroom sliding door was a mess, how expensive is it to replace the shower curtains?

During our stay one elevator only was working, 20 minutes to leave or get back to the room. All in all for the same price you can have a much better stay

Pool area fantastic
Pros:

I was able to check in early and that was a great benefit. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. It had an awesome pool area and the gym/ fitness center had various machines in working order. There was fresh water and coffee available at any time in the lobby. The manager was very helpful and friendly. The location was within walking distance to many stores and restaurants.

Cons:

I got a king size room. There were little flies, like fruit flies buzzing around. Maybe because the window actually opened to the roof, or they were coming in from the drain. There was also a dank odor in the room, which I think came from the AC unit. I actually had to open the window to air out the room, which then messed up the humidity in the room. Overall the room was very clean and comfortable except for the flies and off-smelling odor.

Location was good and staff was very friendly. It would not be my first choice but if I needed a last minute, budget, sh
Pros:

The property is in a great location and the parking was convenient and easy. Room was very spacious.

Cons:

The room and the corridors have a very old, musty smell. It smelled a little like mold. The room also felt very damp, including the bed pillows, comforter and bath towels. Unless we turned the AC temperature down incredibly low, the room got very humid but then on the low temperature it just felt uncomfortably cold and damp.

Sa situation pour ce rendre aux parcs Disney World.
La gentillesse du personnel, est en particulier pour ASIF très présent et agréable à l’accueil et IAIXO au repas du soir très prévenant toujours une petite touche d’humour.
