I paid the Florida resident rate ($144 for the Premier Tower room, king bed) and stayed during the off season (February). It was a weekend for just my wife and I. There were very few people at the hotel and I saw only a couple of kids, so it was very nice and quiet. However, I would consider this "resort" a nice "budget hotel". There was an old, small, square television that was a bit beat up (the glass had a chip in it). It had only very basic cable (not even On-Demand). You also have to pay for Internet access ($10 per day). It kind of felt like going back in time... There was nothing real spectacular that blew me away. We stayed there because it was close to Downtown Disney where we spent most of the evenings over that weekend. The shuttle made it easy to get back and forth to Downtown without having to worry about a parking space, but note that the shuttles start at 6pm in the evening and run until 3am. We had a nice view toward Downtown Disney and Epcot.

It's not the worst place we've ever stayed. If you can get in for under $100, I'd say that it would be worth it. The resort fee is low (about $8), but they also charge $10 a night for parking (I believe this parking fee is common for most hotels in that area).

However, there is another thing that may be a deal breaker for certain people and will likely keep me from returning, that would be the air conditioner. It's a bit noisy. We had nice weather so we kept ours off most of the time, but we were actually able to hear the AC from the room next door all night! Also, we were up on the 16th floor and the windows are not very sound proof so we heard the traffic from the highway. It was sort of like white noise, which actually helps some people, like me, to sleep.

Hope this helps.

we stayed here on a sat.night in jan 2012---got a rate of $79.99 by the time taxs fees it was $99.00
anyway we were told we got a deluxe tower room...first of all you walk in and imedately see its double
beds and a old tv......dirty rug with spots.....not much room ...had to ask for more towels.....just thought it would be newer they say its remodeled but doesnt look it......no frig in room....one tv...
herd traffic all night right by i4 .....not quiet........only positive was that downtown disney was down the road short drive......and also the bar in hotel we went to at about 10pm had late night wing specials and good waffle fries and bartender was nice lady.......had a small game room played air
hockey ...states its inside disney like its a great disney hotel but its not and the beds were way to
small .............now a days the new hotels have all queen beds and flat screens ............will not stay
again..also i prepaid for this room in full and when got back home saw they put a $68.charge on my charge card and then credit back same day dont know what that was about either......

Frankly I did not recognise much of it from the glossy images they show on the web. Check in could have been handled better. To be told there was no upgrade was surprising as I hadn't even asked for one so it seemed a bit brusque...and the extra surprise was to be charged daily as a resident for parking a car - most bizarre. Looking at other reviews praising the place perhaps we were unlucky. Clearly from what they write, the tower might have been better (who knows) but the ground floor is dark...and also you can hear the other rooms. Generally the rooms are very dated and in need of some tender loving care. The aircon(cold/hot) did not really work in any meaningful way. The fitness room is small and machines out of order. The pool is perhaps more for gentle cooling than swimming. Didn't bother with the breakfast. The staff in general are good. Handy for downtown Disney of course but quite a bus ride to the main attractions and also the bus timetable on return can prove quite erratic...beware the last bus or two!

The hotel is very close to Downtown Disney. There is also a shopping plaza close by with a 24 hour grocery store and restaurants including McDonald's, Chevy's and Red Lobster. I had to call the front desk to ask how to turn the shower on. They told me to pull the handle really hard. I felt like I was going to break it. This may be the reason other reviewers have had handles come out of the walls. The service was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
