Accommodations Review: |
Very nice for med/low end hotel. This is a "new" hotel in
the sense that they completely gutted two or three older
motels and completely refurbished. It looks like there are 3-4
room layouts. We loved ours! The living quarters was in an L
shape which gave each bed area some privacy. We had a king and
double bed. First floor rooms have a private patio area with
landscaping. Each room has a mini fridge, TV with limited
cable, and iron/ironing board (other things check marked below). My husband loved the workout room. It includes a
stationary bike, treadmill, free weights, and two weight
machines. The staff was very accommodating. This vacation was a
surprise 6th birthday present for our daughter We started off
the vacation by leaving our camera bag on the airport shuttle.
The bell staff immediately started contact with the shuttle
service and got our bag returned within an hour. Then, our
daughter became ill the first night. Again, bell service
helped out tremendously with getting us transportation to a
doctor. They even checked on us the next few days to make sure
we were doing OK. The housekeeping service was wonderful. Quick
and quiet. Everyone there was very friendly, from the front
desk to the gardeners. We will probably return here for our
next trip. The only negative thing: hard to find an ice
machine! |
Rate/Night (for your stay): |
?? We purchased a package, but I'm sure it was less than
$100 a night. |

Pool Description/Comments: |
Two pools. Main pool and spa in center of facility on back
side of restaurant. Smaller "quiet" pool was on Katella side
near workout room. Plenty of towels and lounge chairs. |
Other Comments: |
We walked to the park instead of taking the shuttle. It is
a fairly long walk (up Disney Drive through Downtown Disney),
but very pretty. We never tried either shuttle option because
we enjoyed the walk so
much. |
