We were originally only supposed to stay at the hotel for a week, but ended up extending our stay as we enjoyed our time there so much. From the moment we checked in, the reception staff were fantastic - they really couldn't do enough for us and were always so friendly and welcoming (Adriana in particular!) The more interaction we had with the rest of the hotel personnel, you could really see that the same positive, helpful approach was encouraged in everyone - a special mention to Luke in the Bar who make us some amazing cocktails and passed on some great tips about the local area! The rooms are a good size and have a fridge and microwave which is great when you want to reheat the boxed up remainder of the huge meals you just cant finish in one sitting! The room was cleaned really well every day - even when we left the room late. The sleep number beds took a bit of getting used to, but we found them fine. The internet in reception worked well (the best PC is on the right hand side!) and printing facilities are free .. again, another really good feature of this hotel. Wifi was great and could always be accessed in the room. There are fresh cookies availiable in reception every evening - I can highly recommend them ... we never made it to dessert when we were out for a meal, so this was a nice treat to end the evening. The swimming pool wasn't heated during our stay which would've been nice, but the hot tub was lovely to sit in and de-stress. The parks were easily accessible from the hotel (the entrance to Disney is literally a 10 minute walk away!) and there are plenty of restaurants (can recommend the Olive Garden, Ale House and Flippers Pizza!) and a good supermarket within walking distance. As mentioned by other reviews, access to the hotel could be improved as it's located on a 3 lane motorway and there is no slipway to enter the hotel from the other side of the road, so you do find yourself performing u-turns. This did not dampen our experience however and was just accepted as one of those things. The only other thing that would've made the experience complete would be if the hotel had spa facilities - a nice relaxing massage at the end of a long day at the parks would be great! From a UK traveller perspective, the car hire facility in the hotel is not a particularly attractive option as its really foccused on the American market (all kinds of insurance are added if you don't have an American licence) so we hired a car from Alamo which was located at the Palace hotel opposite Disney. All in all, a brilliant time was had and I would highly recommend this hotel.
Room Tip: Try and not get a room next to the "electrical room" we experienced some noise due to this...
