Accommodations Review:
|
Friendly staff. Our 1-BR suite was adequate for our
short stay but rather small. The BR had 2 double beds and a large
dresser. One bathroom, accessible through the BR. LR had a double
sofa bed & 2 chairs, TV. With the sofa bed open, there was no
walking space around it.
There was only a "breakfast counter" and 2 chairs, no
dining table. The mini-kitchen had a small, regular fridge, 2
burner cook top, microwave. There were only dishes for 4, 1 pot, 1
pan, 2 microwavable glass casserole dishes. We requested extra
chairs and tableware and they responded promptly and politely. A
simple breakfast was included weekdays - bagels, waffles, cereals,
juices. The pool area was small and the water cold, tiny hot tub.
The game room was closed. The laundry room and gift shop were both
very limited. Everything was clean and adequate.

Okay for the price, to accommodate parents who
privacy from their sleeping children. Good for short stays. Clean.
Good location for Disney, near Crossroads. |
