"We had a short but wonderful stay. The hotel, grounds, and pool were beautiful, and every staff member we dealt with was exceptional, including at the Bull and Bear restaurant. We can't say enough about the employees; they exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend staying here.2019-08-16"
"Great hotel, but the check-in clerk had an attitude.2016-07-06"
"Nice hotel, but our room wasn't ready until after 6 PM, which was inexcusable.2019-01-06"
"Close to Downtown Disney. Not a good hotel room for the price. A faulty fire alarm went off for 2 hours in the middle of the night. No apologies or explanation provided. Nice staff.2015-06-15"
"The hotel was noisy. Ask for an interior room.2021-11-02"
"Great hotel stay.2020-11-29"
"My room was ready even though I arrived at the hotel in the morning. Most of my stay was great, but I could hear the elevator when I was trying to sleep. A valet driver refused to move a car taking up most of the driveway, so my SuperShuttle driver was delayed in leaving for the airport. All the other hotel employees were great. Don't take the hotel shuttle; walk to Disney Springs, cross the bridge to Saratoga Springs and catch the Disney shuttle bus.2016-11-09"
"The hotel room was nice, quiet, and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Friendly staff and everything you could need, including a shuttle to and from Disney attractions. I'd absolutely stay here again.2016-10-20"
"Great hotel. I have no complaints at all. Stay here.2016-01-09"
"Clean room and comfortable bed. The front desk clerk was polite and had me checked in within minutes. I've stayed here multiple times, and I always leave happy. It's one of my favorite hotels.2015-10-12"
"Great rates. The hotel room was perfect, and check-in was easy. Valet parking cost the same as self-parking, and the valets were courteous and helpful. I wish we could've stayed longer.2016-12-10"
"Good location and decent rates. A no-frills hotel, but it had the basics. The TV in the bedroom didn't have the same channels as the TV in the living room. OK amenities for families. The breakfast buffet cost $26, and options were limited.2023-12-23"
"The hotel was good, but some of the employees were quite unhelpful. Others tried to help me out.2023-06-11"
"The hotel was too expensive considering the amenities. It was noisy, and the room wasn't clean. I couldn't get coffee. The resort was geared toward families with children. If you're not traveling with kids, stay elsewhere.2021-09-16"
"A wonderful hotel. The room was big, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and had plenty of hot water. We loved that the climate control wasn't too noisy, and we were able to buy food at the counter. There was a guest laundry on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th floors. Fabulous free bus service to Disney attractions. Disney Springs was within walking distance. We had a wonderful vacation.2023-03-13"
"The hotel was clean, and the staff was helpful and friendly. A good choice.2021-10-05"
"The hotel was awesome. I liked that they offered to pay for buses to theme parks.2021-08-23"
"The hotel room was good-sized and well-equipped, with a dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The restaurants were terrible, though; the food quality and service were both poor, and the hours were inconvenient.2021-03-14"

"I loved this hotel from the minute I walked in. The room was lovely, with a balcony and beautiful view. The check-in clerks were friendly. Nice pool, bar, and breakfast area.2019-06-22"
"The staff was outstanding. I had a great stay, but I wasn't aware that construction was going on.2019-02-28"
"Great location and reasonable rates. The hotel was older, so there were many small annoyances and maintenance issues. The water in the bathroom sink was scalding hot, and the shower faucet was stuck. The employees were pleasant, though, and the service was good.2019-02-09"
"You get what you pay for. We returned to the hotel to find that our room hadn't been serviced. I went to the desk for towels and was told rooms were only serviced every 4 days. Despite being told the room would be cleaned the next day as a courtesy, that didn't happen. Think twice about staying at this hotel.2021-11-24"
"We loved our stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and clean, and the employees were kind, friendly, and helpful. The full restaurant was nice and had delicious food, and it was extremely helpful having a store, a Disney store, and a car rental site on the premises. We loved the pool and poolside bar and grill. The free shuttles to Disney parks were a huge bonus. The only improvements I can suggest would be free wireless Internet and free parking. I highly recommend staying here.2017-04-08"

"A terrible experience. We left our room at 10 AM for just 30 minutes, and when we returned, all the food we had in the fridge was gone except the vegetables. The hotel clerk called housekeeping, and they returned some of the food. We did get a discount on our bill.2023-12-12"

"Bring your own water and snacks; it's expensive to buy them at the hotel.2022-03-13"
"A good 3-bedroom suite for an excellent price. However, we were surprised by the $39 fee for cleaning our room after we checked out. I strongly objected and find this a deplorable practice. If not for this, I would have given the hotel a high rating.2017-01-16"
"The hotel was affordable, but it was definitely lacking. The front desk clerk didn't even greet us when we arrived. The Sleep Number remote controls for the bed didn't work. The shuttle buses were free but had strange schedules. The thermostat in our room was set at 61 degrees when we returned the 2nd day; we turned on the heater and it had a bad odor. Stay somewhere else.2020-01-25"
"Nice hotel. We enjoyed our stay.2019-09-21"
"The entrance to the Disney resort was almost across the highway from the hotel. Reasonable rates. The room was nice and clean,l and the bed was comfortable. Good breakfast for those on the go. I recommend staying here if you're going to Disney.2016-04-28"
"Good hotel for the price. The room was clean, and the staff was friendly, but they needed a 2nd front desk clerk. The free shuttle to and from the parks was late in picking us up.2021-11-30"

"The resort was great, with lots of things for families to do and lots of food options. The main drawback was that the room was small and the bathroom was miniscule; I couldn't even open the door all the way. The cost of food was astronomical. If you're a family on a budget, bring some snacks.2022-03-02"
"Nice, clean hotel and pool areas.2015-05-05"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
