First time at this location and it was great for me!!!
Pros:

It didn’t feel like a five star hotel but i would rate it five stars because I was happy staying there. The distance from universal was amazing!!! The distance from McDonald’s and gas stations was amazing!! The A.C. Was PERFECT ice cold!!! Beds felt there were a little small. The breakfast was decent but HonestlyI’m very picky so that’s my fault. The staff was super kind! The room I booked was bigger than my regular Disney rooms I normally stay at! So huge plus for that!! I’m very happy with this visit. I would stay here again next visit.
