Great, Short Stay!
MJ D (Connecticut) on May 14, 2025
The room was great for our needs. We spent most of the day at the park and really just used the hotel and room to sleep and get ready. “Fuel” in the lobby was great for us to grab a quick breakfast and fil...l our late night drinks and snacks needs! Our room was clean and seemed to be well maintained. For us it was a good stay overall and we would stay here again if we wanted to be central to the park like this weekend trip needed! A very serviceable room and property!
If you're going to Disney, STAY HERE!
Summer S (Salt Lake City, Utah) on May 08, 2025
We booked this hotel so we could stay on Disney Property without paying the Disney premium price. It was a deluxe resort for a value price. We arrived early off of our red-eye flight, and they were very ac...commodating. The rooms were beautiful, the pool complex was fabulous, (my husband is still mad at me that we didn't book an extra "Resort day") It was a wonderful place to stay for our Disney trip, the buses and transportation were all on time and clean - 10/10 would stay here again.
