We stayed @ Ramada Gateway back in Oct for 2 nights.
I had checked reviews and was concerned at first. But I noticed all bad reviews were for the back section of the hotel.
If you make sure you get a Tower room, they are really nice.
We did not check out the pool areas at all so I cannot speak on that aspect.
As far as our rooms, we were on the front of the building and were able to watch the FWs at the parks (in the distance) right from our window. Our DGSs loved that!
The rooms were very large and had both a MW and Mini fridge.
We would stay there again in a minute. We even have discussed if we would prefer it to on-site because of the added space and amenities in the rooms.
Location is great. It is right out the maingate to Disney. Quite a few eateries nearby.
I was not a big fan of the Breakfast buffet. For the price, it just didn't offer enough.
Hope this helps!!
