I checked in at 730p and told that no king rooms were available, but I booked a month in advance. Given two double beds instead. The water pressure and quality was poor at best. The doors all had gaps in them (from the outside) and seemed unkept. The grounds had a mattress outside that was awaiting trash and looked like the homeless community had been running rampant. The breakfast was crowded, oily, and not really bountiful compared to others in the area. The staff was rude and not helpful when I brought up these concerns.

Overall a good stay. Price was right. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It would have been nice to have a comfortable chair to sit in. It just had a small metal chair. The elevator was not working. It had a breakfast that was ok. Very little room for seating there. For the price it was a good deal and I would stay there again.

Everyone was very kind. We had a week long stay, with two room. Rooms were cleaned every other day. Downfall to our trip was the elevators weren’t working and we hauled up 5 luggage pieces up to the third floor. There was opera music playing from, I assume, the 7-Eleven for the first 3-4 nights we stayed there. Very loud, can hear in the complete quiet in the night and early hours. A little disappointed that despite having put in the notes that we wanted the rooms next to each other, or as close as possible, it was not done. Having the breakfast included in our stay was amazing and helped cut with costs. Literally 15-20 minutes from the Disney parks and resorts. Very few food options within walking distance.

This place is ALL terrible…. Shuttle included… Yes but leaves late so you lose 2 hours at the park… cones back early you miss another hour including the fireworks at magic kingdom. Food doesnt get refilled at an acceptable ratio + no place to sit and eat all 8 days I was there.

We had a great stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it. The location is excellent — very close to Disney parks and Disney Springs, and surrounded by many shopping options such as Walmart, Ross, Burlington, Target, and more. Everything you might need is just a short drive away. The rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures, clean and comfortable. The hotel is very clear about its cleaning policies and towel and linen changes, which we really appreciated. Overall, our experience was very positive. As a suggestion for improvement, breakfast could be better organized. Since the hotel tends to be very busy, some items like yogurt and bread would run out quickly. They were replenished, but sometimes with a bit of delay. Also, the line to make waffles could get quite long. That said, this is a highly recommended hotel if you are looking for a great location, good value for money, and a comfortable place to stay in Orlando.
