“fine, but not convenient for travelers without a car”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for 5 nights in mid-May 2012. We're a young couple who wanted to visit Disney World on a tight budget (and in the off-season), and were able to use Marriott points for our stay here. We did not rent a car.

Frankly, the hotel is very basic and passable for just coming back, sleeping, and waking up early and leaving again. Given how much of a hassle we found taking the shuttle to the parks, we do not recommend this hotel for travelers without a car.

Other comments:
- There is NO SHUTTLE from the airport to the hotel; unless you rent a car, the taxi fee will be approximately $50. However, you can take the Orlando Public Bus #111 for $2 and that will drop you off about a 15-minute walk from the hotel, close to Downtown Disney. Very convenient.
- Many large school groups pass through here. Because were in the off-season, it was fine for us; but we could see how it would be a hassle in the busy summer months.
- Hotel has free breakfast. However, it was very basic, with chalky eggs straight out of a carton and mealy bagels. Hardly any fresh fruit or high quality ingredients. Seemed like a way to fill up on calories, but that was about it. Environmentally un-friendly styrofoam plates and cups.
- Rooms have small fridge and microwave. We did not use these, but could be convenient for others.
- The hotel contracts out to have a shuttle service to/from the Disney parks. However, it costs $7/person per day. (If you are in the Marriott rewards program, you might get a complimentary pass -- ask.) Also, the service was frequently late. One morning, the 8am shuttle did not depart until closer to 8:25am, a hassle if you are trying to maximize time at the parks. In addition, we were told that the shuttles sometimes sell out, which would leave travelers without a car in a lurch. Lastly, the way that some of the drivers drove the shuttles scared us to death (weaving in and out of traffic, etc.!).
- The area around the hotel is not very walkable. There are a few restaurants (Golden Corral, Bahama Breeze), but that's about it. No stores, shops, etc. for strolling.
- Rooms are fine, clean. We had our laptops stored in the room and had zero problems with theft or disruption of our things.

“Great location”

We spent 2 nights here, I enjoyed the pool area. The location can't be beat, at night we drove to nearby Disney downtown and during the day we lounged by the pool. I also spent a couple hours at the nearby outlet mall. It is very close, you can walk there. It was early March so the weather was nice but cool at night. We had drinks during happy hour very convenient. We were treated very well by reception, they made me feel very welcome. I would stay here again, no complaints at all.

“Family friendly”

The kids suites are tight with no table to eat at but yet a good fit for us and our two boys with the bunk beds. Gives enough separation after being together all day at the parks. Breakfast was o.k. but after the 2nd day was ready for something else since no meat is served. Lots of carbs but included in price. Ask to stay in a room away from the highway though. I am a light sleeper and had to switch rooms the next day after hearing the semi's go by at night. Pool was nice, rooms were clean. Bathroom slightly smaller but has to be to get as much into that room as possible. Having pizza hut, Starbucks and subs and other cooked meals in the Courtyard area was a plus but BYOB because at the adjoining hotel it was $11.00 for small glass of wine. I could have bought a bottle for less. Took advantage of the van shuttles to and from the parks which saves in parking money but do not be one minute late. Also was a little hot in one being picked up one day because the air is not the best so try to sit towards the front if possible. All in all we felt we got our monies worth because we have stayed in way worse hotels before and this was pretty good overall. Staff was accomodating and friendly.

Room Tip: Stay far away from the freeway. Parking lot is just fine with no noise but no highway if you are a...

“Love this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

people found this review helpful

Second time here and just as good. We stayed here for 2 weeks and its very central to everything. This hotel has everything a family could want. Rooms are spotlessly clean and have two double beds (really comfy) and a large fridge which is great for drinks. Gated complex which gives you a real sense of security.Pool area was great and the kids loved it and never overcrowded.Also towels a plenty so no need to take your own. Loved the breakfast although it was all diposable plates etc we never had a problem getting a table.Continental style breakfast was more than enough and included in our stay which was a big saving. Staff were excellent and very helpful.Cant wait to come back!

“Great Stay. Would stay again.”

What a good place. First night with family had a double room. Ask for a an extra bed to help out teenagers and told of the Family Room with king bed for mum & dad and bunks for the kids all for an extra $20 per night. Definately worth it. Comfy beds, great pool area, excellent reception with upgrade & advice. Good food nearby as well. Laundry on site which was a plus and free car parking. We went to Kennedy Space Centre, Daytona Beach, Airboat rides, and Universal Studio. All close by. Having a car was plus. It was near a major road but most hotel are.
All round great family location.

Room Tip: Ask about upgrade to family suite. Great layout.
