It’s okay
The Good: Check-in was quick and efficient. The hotel offers movies by the pool almost every night and plenty of activities for kids, which is a great touch. Breakfast had a wide variety of options, including pancakes, toast, eggs, cereal, and rotating specials like biscuit's and gravy or corned beef hash. The room was standard, but I appreciated the addition of a bench for suitcases. The price I paid in all was great ($384 for 3 nights). It was also nice that the hotel wasn’t crowded during my stay. The Not-So-Good: There were a few issues that affected our stay. First, the front desk staff gave me a WiFi password, but it turned out that one wasn’t needed for guests to connect—this created unnecessary confusion. The room lacked a TV guide or any information on amenities, which made it difficult to know what was available and when. The bathroom door was a major issue: it wouldn’t stay open, and both my daughter and I ended up hurting our fingers because it slammed shut unexpectedly. For families with children, this could be a serious safety concern. Additionally, the pool with the water slide wasn’t heated, which limited its use during cooler weather. The carpets in the hallways and rooms were noticeably stained and could use a deep cleaning. Finally, there were no vending machines on my floor, which was inconvenient—especially for those who don’t feel comfortable drinking water from a bathroom sink.

The hotel is clean, modern and has generally good staff. It is located in a modern and upmarket part of Orlando and thus it offers easy transport to the Disney resorts. There are two pools and a jacuzzi, which is impressive. On the other hand, the room we were given was rather small and the bathroom lock inside did not work. I made the staff aware but this issue was not addressed during my stay itself. Otherwise, the hotel is good.

The facilities at this hotel were nice like the pool and the Jacuzzis. it was very close to shopping and Disney World. The staff was really nice and helpful. Breakfast was decent, but the waffles were delicious. Some things I did not like was the strong smell of marijuana in the hallways and in my room. The water out of the sink in the shower smells like sulfur, but I guess I heard it’s like that in Florida.

Amazing stay staff was helpful with any questions, always smiling. Breakfast was on point every time. Could not think of any downside of our stay at all. Really like how all three hotels connect with their pools. Definitely our new spot to stay at when in Orlando!
