Accommodations Review:
|
Very clean, door opened outside (Suites only,
standard rooms open to an inner hallway) plenty of room. Bedroom
had 2 double beds with TV, bathroom/hallway was in the center of
the suite, other side was the living room/kitchenette with
microwave, minicoffeemaker; pullout sofa was a double. Only
complaint was we had (6 of us) a bathroom backup. Maintenance man
came quickly, but did not clean up very well from the spill. Very
courteous staff; we were able to park right outside our room
except the last 2 nights when a large convention must have come
in, but not a very long walk anyway. Dunkin Donuts across the
street, Goodings/crossroads nearby, Olive Garden next door. |

Restaurant/Lounge Review:
|
We only used the rest once, for a breakfast where
the kids ate fee. Food wasn't bad, not great. Didn't eat there
again. Service was very good. The usual breakfast fare, not as
good as the Disney breakfasts. |

Pool Description/Comments:
|
It appeared that the "snake slide" dumped
into the deep end of the pool. We were only there for 5 nights, so
we did not use it anyway; too many Disney things to do in a short
time. |
Other Comments:
|
We would have preferred to stay in a Disney resort,
but during this April period, the price on Disney was outa sight !
The $119 price made the trip affordable and very enjoyable. Just
down the road from Downtown Disney. All parks were real easy to
get to! |
