"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 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 dirty. The room was dated and dirty, and the beds were hard. The TV needed to be replaced. The bathroom was hard to access; the door was in the wrong place. Some employees were helpful, and others were not. Don't stay here.2023-01-25"
"Good value. Decent hotel. The room could have been cleaner. Had a kitchenette. Didn't like not having a bathtub; there was only a shower with a nasty wooden seat. There were intoxicated people in the pool area.2015-06-03"
"The hotel rooms were older and desperately needed renovation. My room had a walk-in shower that didn't drain correctly, so water went all over the floor. The tiles were loose. Limited shuttles to Disney, and none to SeaWorld. The shuttle back from Disney was too early to allow us to see the fireworks.2019-08-08"

"The room was clean and well-appointed, and the resort had a family-friendly atmosphere and great pools. Limited food options on the premises.2021-03-29"
"The room was better than we expected for the price, and the beds were comfortable. The only issue was that the side door was locked at night, and my handicapped husband had a long walk to the main entrance. Not enough handicap parking spaces. We'd stay at this hotel again.2023-11-26"
"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"

"Located in the center of everything. The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly. Don't hesitate to stay here.2021-02-01"
"The hotel was basic and outdated; you're paying for location here. The shuttle service to Disney was convenient. No frills, but it worked for my needs.2019-10-14"
"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"

"An outstanding, family-friendly hotel. Expect to be catered to. The staff was friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to assist guests in a way that usually is only found in more expensive hotels.2016-06-24"
"Across the parking lot from SeaWorld. This was our 2nd stay at this hotel, and we had an awesome experience both times. Despite being busy, we didn't hear any noise and slept well. My kids loved the pool area. Great food on-site, and there were other options nearby.2015-08-08"
"The beds weren't that comfortable. Nice breakfast bar, but snacks were overpriced. There was a 7-Eleven near the hotel.2017-07-14"
"I fell in love with this hotel. It was comfortable and clean, and the employees were friendly and helpful. Really smart, updated room. Great location and value. Book soon.2017-01-11"
"Good hotel stay overall, but some of the room fixtures were dated. The shower and toilet were older and slow. The carpet was worn.2023-02-23"
"The bathroom was so small that I couldn't close the door. The hotel was spread out, and there was a lot of walking to reach amenities. Parking was horrible.2022-03-06"
"I was initially given the wrong room type and had to change rooms. The room door didn't close properly. The phone buttons didn't work, the bathroom door had white streaks on it, and the bathroom poor lighting and a dirty floor. Stay at another hotel.2018-10-30"
"My stay at this hotel worked out well. It needed some upgrades, but I appreciated having a kitchenette. The front desk clerks were always helpful and cheerful. If you're on a budget and looking for a decent, basic place to stay, this fits the bill.2018-03-26"

"Good accommodations. The room was great. I recommend this hotel.2023-11-25"
"I could see touch-up paint all over the hotel. No TV remote control in my room. My key card didn't work the 2nd day, so I had to return to the front desk to get replacements. The cleaning staff entered my room despite the Do Not Disturb sign on the door. The women's bathroom on the main floor flooded, and there was water everywhere. Not worth the price.2016-01-21"
"Nice hotel with clean rooms. I was happy and will stay again.2015-08-02"
"A basic motel. The room needed updating. The IHOP next door was understaffed.2023-07-14"
"This was the worst motel I've ever stayed in, and it wasn't cheap. The AC hardly worked, and there was nowhere in the room to put our suitcases. The blanket on the bed smelled like cigarette smoke. The sink didn't drain, and the bathtub faucet was broken. Don't stay here.2020-02-02"

"Good location. The hotel room was small but had a comfortable bed and great turn-down service. No microwave, and the iron was substandard. Nice showerhead. Ask for a room away from the elevator if you want peace and quiet. Parking cost $15 daily.2016-12-31"
"Our floor had a wet, musty smell. The hotel clerks weren't welcoming, and breakfast wasn't good at all. Don't stay here.2015-05-11"
"Hotel was relaxing, but we were given a smoking room. All our things smelled like smoke when we left.2015-02-19"
"Hotel was too warm, and had a strong, strange smell. We had to run the AC to get rid of the smell in our room. Housekeeping came to the door at 9:30 AM and asked for our used towels and washcloths; they said we wouldn't get clean replacements for a few hours, so we weren't able to shower before going out. Hotel check-in clerk was friendly and helpful.2014-11-01"

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.
