Great hotel. Staying here gives you fast pass access to most of the rides in the park (except Hagrid) and rooms and well appointed and comfy. Transport to both theme parks is via the little boat to city walk. It’s not the cheapest place to stay but in my opinion you get great value for money. Staff were super helpful. On check in I asked for a quiet room with a bath tub and Kellie got us the perfect room for us 3236 right at the end of the hall. Unfortunately I tested positive for Covid whilst here but the hotel were great. Samuel did all he could to make us comfortable and made what could have been a stressful stay as simple as it could be.

Valet wrecked my car parking it and were very rude. It’s been over a week and no one has called us back after they said they were investigating the situation. We spent so much of our vacation trying to sort this issue out.

The hotel is great, a little dated in some places but very clean, everything you need in the room and the pool area is lovely. Being so close to the parks and the water taxi is a great service never waiting more than a few mins and fast passes to the park which are included really make it, we walked on to most rides with no q, kids loved it. However, the cost of hotel stay was pre paid via Booking.com, when I checked in they take card details for any additional cost, no issues, but the hotel have charged me double they take a daily payment for the cost of the room plus £500 when you check in….. I tried sorting it out with reception last night as I check out today and they were very unhelpful, just kept repeating this is our policy and it can take 3 weeks to be refunded, due to me living in the UK!!! Wouldn’t stay here again for that reason, be very careful when checking in they do not explain this. It’s really spoilt my last night. Read less
