My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms offered some of the best views in the hotel with a lovely ambiance, but they had a persistent wet smell that took the staff two days to address. The service was a mix of excellence and rudeness from the manager, Gary. The location was the highlight, being close to food areas and shopping, even though there were some hidden fees not disclosed upfront. The dining experience was full and rich, though some facilities like the elevators were not in perfect condition.

The hotel's location is pretty good and the rooms are comfy, but they are a bit old-fashioned and cramped. The elevator had issues during our stay, causing a delay in check-in, which was inconvenient after a long drive. The staff's attitude was not very friendly, and we encountered cleanliness issues in the room, including visible stains and pet hair. Overall, not a pleasant stay.

8.0/10

The hotel was beautiful and clean, but there were some issues with noise and the fridge in my room. The convenience of charging incidentals on a personal card was handy even though it had gaps in the sliding glass door. The proximity to shopping, Disney Springs, and Disney World was great, and the location overall worked well for kids. On the downside, there could have been better options for non-beef/pork eaters in the dining selection.

The hotel offers spacious and extremely clean rooms with a fantastic pool area featuring a waterslide and plenty of fun activities. While the room size was impressive and the cleanliness top-notch, there was a slight musty smell. The service was overall friendly and helpful, though room cleaning was late one day.

The hotel is conveniently located with various eating places and shops within walking distance, and Disney Springs just a 10-minute drive away.

Despite the convenient location, the noise from the AC compressor inside the room at night was a significant downside.
