The place is a good value for the stay. However, they could work on cleanliness.
Pros:

I really liked the supplies provided in the room. Although the refrigerator ice maker didn’t work and I needed more pots, the kitchen was spacious with everything necessary to make food. I thought the pool area was also nice, and although you can hear people outside, you can’t hear people above or next to you. The location was also very convenient- restaurants were everywhere and ICON Park is literally across the street if you want to do something close by.

Cons:

We had a two bedroom suite and the room with the king bed hardly had any room. I also noticed that although the counters, showers, utensils and such were clean, it didn’t seem like the floor was mopped. I wiped up a couple of things from the floor. You also have to ask for the sofa bed bedding. When I requested it, it was provided quickly even though it was late at night. However, when my dad and I started putting on the sheets, we noticed some bad staining that had to be blood. They provided another quickly, but that added to my cleanliness concerns.

Had the best stay here really made our holiday and if we managed to come again we would definitely stay here.
Pros:

Extremely happy. Great location. Very helpful staff. Such comfortable beds and mattresses. Pool was lovely.

Cons:

Nothing, if I had to say anything slightly more up to date electrics for charging perhaps some usb ports but thats really being picky as everything’s else was great.

Many lovely previous stays but so dirty never gain.
Pros:

We have stayed at this hotel many times. We love the central international drive location with easy transport links. Staff always lovely and helpful.

Cons:

The accommodation was dirty, we arrived and found it dirty and thought the cleaner would clean it but it took 8 days for us to notice a cleaner has been in and only as we had fresh towels. The beds were only made on the last 3 days of our 11 night trip and the bedding never changed. We could tell it was nearly tip time as on the last two days we had the towels changed every day and the beds made. We have decided it will be our last stay.
