"Good hotel for an affordable price. The room was clean and had pleasant decor, and everything worked. The bed was comfortable. I arrived before check-in time, so my 1st floor room wasn't ready, but I agreed to take a 2nd room floor even though there was no elevator. If you want a practical place to stay, this one is good.2019-01-30"

"This hotel was really bare-bones. Had to pay for a 2nd roll of toilet paper, and there was a $25 fee if guests don't take out their own trash. The bed was more like a cot. No cooking utensils, hand towels, or tissue provided. The employees were friendly and helpful.2016-05-12"

"There were ants in the bed our 1st night, and then large ants on our food in the morning. The front desk clerk's response was that this is what happens when you bring food, though the room had a microwave and fridge. We left without using the pool or eating breakfast.2016-02-08"
"Fabulous location; walk to Adventureland and restaurants. The room was clean, but needed better soundproofing. I couldn't access the wireless Internet. Horrible water pressure in the shower, and I had to duck to get under the showerhead. Easy check-in, and the hotel clerk was nice. The pool was tiny. Decent selection at breakfast, but there wasn't enough seating.2015-08-13"
