El cobro del estacionamiento...deberian incluirlo en el precio...ya que cuando uno reserva y luego vienen cobros extras no es agradable....son 20$ por noche el cual es algo costoso

Would Never Stay Here Again
Pros:

We are Marriott Gold Members and this was prob the worst Marriott we have ever stayed at. Room was old, showers were very slick. No housekeeping for 3 days! The handle on the outside door was broken off. One night, couldn’t get in our room (battery dead). Positive was: comfortable beds , Starbucks in lobby , plenty of parking and fairly good park location. Looks like a worn out hotel that needs a definite refresh. Would not recommend.

Great front attendant Danny
Pros:

I had such a great experience at Courtyard Orlando Lake Buena Vista at Vista Centre, thanks to Danny at the front desk. He was super friendly, welcoming, and made check-in quick and easy. Danny was very accommodating and really took the time to make sure everything was taken care of. His positive attitude and great customer service truly made my stay stress free. Location was a plus too.

Very Disappointing
Pros:

We have stayed here many many days in the past. It was always lovely—great buffet, pool, room.
Not this trip. Everything is so rundown. Our suite had only 1 trash can to shuttle between bathroom and kitchen area. There was no working light in the bedroom other than one at the desk. The curved sofa had no back pillows unless you took some from the bed—very difficult to use the sofa and it was the only place to sit.
The whole property looks so sad. Outside has had a facelift but the rest is about the quality of a low rate motel. Definitely not up to Marriott standards.

Pros:

I enjoyed my stay so so much! I went on a solo trip and it felt like home. The staff was amazing and made me feel like family, especially since I was celebrating my birthday. The breakfast in the morning was just what I needed and I didn't have to step out of the hotel on my off day which is just what I wanted.

Excellent hotel, perfect location and friendly staff
Pros:

Perfect location for Disney. Free shuttle to Disney parks. Clean and spacious rooms. Very friendly concierge. Mike was excellent and extremely helpful when we checked in. Pool looked awesome but it was too chilly out for us to swim. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Disney.
