Standard rooms are about the same size as Disney
moderate resort rooms. They have smoking and non-smoking rooms
available, and all rooms come with two double beds, a
refrigerator, a TV with remote, an in-room safe, chest of drawers,
and a table with two chairs. The rooms have always been clean and
spacious every tie I have been there.
Mini suites are quite a bit larger than the standard rooms, and
have a 3/4ths wall separating the space into two rooms. On one
side, you have a pull out sofa and chest of drawers, and on the
other side, there is a king size bed, TV with remote, refrigerator
and microwave, safe and table with two chairs.

Pool Description/Comments:
|
Magic Castle has one swimming pool. It's adequate
for taking a quick dip, but it is not themes and does not have a
waterslide, Jacuzzi, children's pool or lifeguard. There is a
small playground adjacent to the pool for children to play on.
Picnic tables and barbecue pits are also centrally located near
the swimming pool. |

I enjoy staying at Magic Castle Inn and Suites very
much. We have stayed with them three times thus far and have been
very happy with the quality of the rooms and the services proved
by the staff and facilities.
Magic Castle also serves a deluxe continental breakfast every
morning. This includes coffee, milk, juice, donuts, pastries,
bagels, English muffins, toast, cereal and fresh fruit. There is
no dining room, so guests must take their food back to their rooms
or eat outside on a picnic table. There is also an ice maker in
the room adjacent to the lobby.
The staff at Magic Castle has been nothing but helpful and
pleasant to me and my family. I've had no problems whatsoever with
changing or canceling a reservation, obtaining a reservation or
check in and checking out. Everyone I have dealt with seems to be
Disney quality in guest service.
I have no hesitation at all to recommend Magic Castle Inn and
Suites to anyone. I've found it to be the best hotel value I've
found anywhere. The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is
friendly, it's within easy driving distance of Disney World, and
it has a free continental breakfast. If anyone has any specific
questions I haven't answered here, please e-mail me and I will be
more than happy to answer them.
Once again, I recommend this hotel without hesitation at all.
