The hotel is located directly across the street from Disney Downtown, very convenient. There is a shuttle to Disney World (Magic Kingdom), which drove us directly to the park. The hotel staff were very friendly and accomodating. Beds were comfortable and room was very clean. Nice upgraded washrooms. More

This was my second stay at this hotel and it validated my earlier review of this being an excellent hotel. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful, the accommodations were conveniently located and clean. On this visit, I used the shuttle buses to travel to some nearby attractions. I found it very convenient and a much better alternative to driving... More

If you enjoy lots of christmassy music everywhere you go at around the beginning of advent and have young children Disney is the place to go. Its a lot chillier at night so pack lots of jumpers, scarves and coats and make the effort to tell the staff about the heating system which is left on Air-Con, "freezing", after the... More

I was in Orlando for business, so I was a little nervous staying so close to the Disney and Sea World. This hotel was great for the price and was quiet during my stay! When I needed to go shopping for the kids before I left, I was able to head over to Downtown Disney to pick up some items.... More

I just spent one night in this hotel recently but have stayed here in the past numerous times. I like the spa like colors (blues, white, silver and espresso wood tones) of the rooms and the amenities. I feel like I'm on "holiday" when I come here even if it's for 1 night. It is a large luxury hotel within... More

Spent 3 days/2 nights here for a business conference. The location was wonderful - I was able to walk over to Downtown Disney during the evenings for restaurants, movies, shopping, etc. The room was spacious, clean with a fresh modern appeal. It even had a small balcony where you could enjoy coffee in the morning or read a book. The... More

We stayed here for 10 nights over Chrismtas, we had spent the first two weeks of our holiday in a 3 star plus hotel which we much preferred. Virgin advertised the hotel as 5 star, however we would rate it more like 3 plus/4 at best. The first room we had smelt awful, like a lot of people have mentioned,... More

If your only reason for wanting to stay at this hotel is to be walking distance to Downtown Disney, then do so; but, do not eat at any of it's restaurants, especially The Outback. Got seated at 7:30pm as requested and then did not get served our dinner until 9:15; and that was only after repeatedly complaining to the manager.... More
