"I booked this hotel because of its location to Disney and it was a great choice. A quick walk and we were at the park. The valet helped with the car as there was no self parking spots available anymore. The check in was not as great as one of the hosts had a very dry demeanor. Our room wasn’t ready yet as it was only 2:30 and check in was at 4. We stored our luggage and went to have ice cream to wait but since Cold Stone did not have seating and it was extremely hot outside we went back to the lobby to wait. We sat in the lobby and noticed the other receptionist give rooms out and she was very friendly. I assumed that maybe it was different room types and those were available and not a king size room we had reserved. Despite sitting a few feet away in the lobby I was never told that a room was available and not until an hour later and I approached the receptionist she was matter factly said yes we have a room available. She had a cold vibe. Despite her we had a great stay. The convenience store on the premises was a plus as we got very cold water in the middle of the hot day and at the end of the night some snacks before going to bed."

"Stayed two nights in the 2 bath room with loft. Very roomy. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. No elevator to second floor. The stairs to second floor rooms were steep and hard to get heavy suitcases into the room so ask for ground floor if that is an issue. Sufficient parking. Breakfast was standard eggs and waffles buffet but just ok. Overall, would stay again on first floor."
