So we stayed for 8 nights in November. First of, our welcome to the hotel was brilliant, reception service was great, Maurice was so welcoming and our parking fees were complimentary. Resort fees were alot less per night than we thought. So straight away we were very impressed. Hotel is lovely, reception looks great. The 2 pools were great but the one with the slide was far too cold but we still used it. The slide is wicked. Heated pool amazing. 2 hot tubs were great, used anytime of night, we were very happy with that. The room was alright, housekeeping was fine however we did find there was a strange smell in the 2000 block all the time, like a musty smell from the carpets but the smell did become unbearable. One night in particular stunk of weed. Our room stink the same as the corridors, especially the pillows and duvets, even my cuddly toys and clothes smell like that hotel now... The bathroom had a strange smell of sick as well when we arrived and the bath was very rusty. Overall an average stay. Read less

They have a great and brand new entrace, but the rooms are not the same level. It's humid, old and small! But they have free shuttle to Disney Hollywood Studios and one heated pool that I liked. Bars and Starbucks inside and a little shopping mall with cvs, nike store... it's fine to go.

We will not stay here again :-( the only thing going for this hotel is a nice reception area (which is deceptive because the rooms are disgusting) the pool and it’s location. Once you’ve checked in in the lovely reception area the grumpy reception staff will tell you all the taxes, resort fees and parking fees they will now charge you. Then you’ll get to drive round closer to your room as the resort is huge. You’ll have the pleasure of walking down a grimy smelly corridor that smells of mildew and is dirty before opening your bedroom door to find it also smells stuffy and mouldy. Then you check the bathroom to find dirt and hairs and rust in the bath tub (which we actually thought was something else that’s brown until we dared tried to wipe it off to realise it was thankfully just rust!!!!!) so then double check bedsheets as things haven’t got off to a great start but they are ok so you decide to tolerate it!! Carpet felt dirty and big stains on furniture and doors where housekeeping haven’t kept on top of things. We tried hard not to be in the room apart from for sleeping and even then the rooms are not soundproof, doors bang and noisy guests don’t give a damn! At one point even the hotel staff on radios were laughing and talking loudly at 11pm in the corridor with no regards for guests sleeping. This hotel has lovely grounds and a great location but it needs a seriously amount of money spent on it to renovate and update. And the housekeeping staff need a better eye for cleaning detail and probably a better management team to keep them motivated! It’s the first hotel I have ever stayed in where the housekeeping staff don’t say hello to guests as they walk past, and that doesn’t even cost anything!!! We won’t stay again and we would recommend that you don’t book and I’d never say that lightly :-( very disappointed. Read less

Was super excited to stay at the hotel, as the picture posted online were amazing. Got there around 10:40 pm, checked in, room key didn't work, located a staff member and was told to use the phone in the hallway to call the front desk for help, needless to said, the phone in the hallway didn't work, so ended up calling from my cell phone. Was later informed our room number was written down wrong and we were assigned to a different room. Finally get to the correct room, open the door and we were hit with a foul moldy smell. The carpet in the room was soaking wet, the phone in the room didn't work, luckily since we were having issues with the room key, they have already dispatch someone to the room to help so I was able to let them know about the issues with the room. We were then told to wait while we were assigned a new room, unfortunately we couldn't stay in the room to wait due to the smell, so was had to walked back down to the parking and drive around back to the lobby, which is kinda of a walk since the walkway to the building is not a short walk. We were finally assigned another room around 11:40, but at this point I was just disappointed in whole experience and was ready to go back home. We ended up staying the whole duration of our trip since it was only for 2 nights, but I will definitely never stay here again. The lobby has a nice clean look, just wish their rooms reflected the same look. Read less
