Accommodations Review:
|
The room had two double beds, a table and two chairs. It was not
much smaller than our room at the Caribbean Beach Resort in the summer.
It was very clean and looked new. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
We were unimpressed with our room at the Caribbean Beach Resort
and wanted to see the difference for the price. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
Center Court - Way in the back!!! |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
We were VERY far away from Stadium Hall, but there was always plenty
of parking. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
We did not have to wait very long for check-in, but the process
was longer than at the Caribbean Beach Resort. |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
Request a room near Stadium Hall if you plan to use Disney World
transportation. There was only one bus stop which was located at the
front of the resort. We drove to the parks every day. You don't have
to pay for parking when staying at a resort hotel. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
There was a very large food court with lots of choices. We weren't
interested in counter service so we did not eat there. It was not
the cleanest place in the world. It was very crowded at breakfast
time. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
We did not even see a pool. There were record low temperatures for
the length of our stay. It was 26 degrees the first morning. The temperature
never rose above 40 that day. It did warm up a bit, but 50 degrees
is still too cold for us native Floridians to take a swim. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
We recommend staying at the All-Star Sports Resort. It's a nice
place to stay based on what you pay for the room. We have stayed off-site,
too. We definitely do not recommend that. We stayed at a Clarion 5
miles from Disney World on our last night. The cost was only about
$70, but it took us an hour to get to our hotel after the Magic Kingdom
closed. |
Other Comments:
|
We noted several differences between the Caribbean Beach and All-Star
Sports. The price was about $40 less per night at the All-Star. The
room was nicer (newer) at the All-Star. The Caribbean has bus stops
at every village, and All-Star only has the one at the front. Package
delivery from the park is sent to your room at Caribbean and to Stadium
Hall at the All-Star. You have to wait in a lon line to pick them
up. There is also a swimming pool at every village, but who has time
to swim!! Those are some things to consider when deciding whether
to stay at a moderate or value resort. Next time we go we still plan
to stay at a value resort. We didn't feel that these things were worth
the extra money we would have paid. |
