The hotel

A sparkling new addition to the Kissimmee holiday scene, with everything you need for a theme park holiday (plus some rather fun perks thrown in on top). Located just three miles from the gates of Walt Disney World®, this brand new hotel features beautifully appointed rooms. Enjoy complimentary coffee from the café before you set off for the theme parks. When you return, you can soothe those ride-ravaged muscles with a soak in the heated outdoor pool and a float in its ultra-relaxing lazy river, or a stretch in the fitness room’s yoga zone, before tucking into homemade tortillas and fiery guacamole at its Mexican restaurant.

We are beyond pleased with the service the Front Desk has had towards us and guest while we were waiting in line for check in.

From the Check in from JT to the check out from Anthony the manager I believe was excellent. Housekeepers greeting us as we walk down the hallway. And I believe even the hotel manager was very friendly when I seen him joking with the Front desk. We will definitely return! Thank you again! Hidden Gem! Read less

The check-in went very well. Unfortunately there was a problem with the room we were given. When we tried to use the safe the deadbolt was already out so we could not close the safe.

The check-in went very well. Unfortunately there was a problem with the room we were given. When we tried to use the safe the deadbolt was already out so we could not close the safe. We decided to call the front desk for help but the phone in the room would not work. We went to the front desk to report the two problems. They said they would send someone from maintenance to fix both problems. A man from maintenance came tour room fairly quickly. He fixed the phone problem quickly. He tried to fix the problem with the safe using a recoding tool but that did not work so he had tog9 and get some other tools. When he returned he tried a number of things, none of which worked. Eventually he said we should be moved to another room. He called the front desk and went down and got keys for another room on the same floor. We moved our stuff into it. We really appreciated the efforts of the maintenance person but having the problem made us wonder how good a condition the other amenities in the room were. Later that day we ordered drinks from the bar by the pool. When I received the bill it contained an automatic 20% tip. I gave the server my credit card and she took it into the bar. When she returned she gave me the bill to sign it started with the total that included the 20% tip and had a space to add a tip with the amounts for18%, 20% and 22% of the amount that already included the20% tip! This is a totally unacceptable practice. Trying to trick customers into tipping twice is sinful. Friend that we were travelling with had the same thing happen when they ordered snacks ands drink at the poolside bar. After our experience with the poolside bar we did not try the restaurant so we do not know if it uses the same practice. DO NOT USE THE POOLSIDE BAR. On the upside, the coffee in the lobby in the morning was good and the pool area is wonderful. Read less

Nice hotel was convenient to everything and was very quiet. The staff was very nice and were always willing to help with anything. The room was clean and the pool area was great. Will definitely stay here again when visiting the area. Thanks for a good stay.

Fantastic hotel, pool and staff. Centrally located to all the area attractions and amusement parks. I had do a very late check in and add days to my stay and Anthony at the front desk couldn’t have been more helpful. Will definitely stay again the next time I visit the area.
