Accommodations Review:

With the great price we were getting, I didn't know
what to expect. When we arrived (9 PM) the staff was quite
efficient and more than willing to give us directions to the
Walmart (for groceries) and other requests. They also upgraded us
to a king size bed without an extra charge. There are two floors
at the hotel, all with outside entrances. We had a non-smoking
room on the second floor in the first building closest to the
lobby. The room was spacious for two people. There was also a
pull-out couch that we left folded up and served as a place to put
our luggage. The frig and microwave were in good working order.
The little freezer was able to freeze two water bottles overnight.
The safe was easy to figure out and we used it. My only complaint
on the room, and it was a minor one, was that the floor to the tub
was squishy. Almost like the fiberglass was wearing thin. But,
after the initial shock of it, I was fine. The showers stayed hot,
and that is usually my biggest complaint. |

Restaurant/Lounge Review:
|
As far as we could tell, there was a food court, a
lounge, and a breakfast restaurant. We liked the food court, and
got pizza there on our first night. Prices, we felt, were
reasonable for the food. Room service and pool-side service was
available, but we never used it |

Pool Description/Comments:
|
We liked the pool; we used it one night after
Disney. It had very strong bromine or chlorine, so bring goggles.
The temperature was refreshing after a long hot day. |
Other Comments:
|
I would definitely stay here again. For the price
and quality of facilities, you can't go wrong. |
