There are several posts about this place - I have posted a few myself. This place is partially owned by Clarion (Choice Hotels - Comfort, Clarion, etc...) We got stuck staying here several years back through a vacation club. We aren't into timeshare properties and didn't know that's what it was until we arrived! As well, we had never stayed in Kissimee, and we greatly disliked it here as well. Anyway, they've changed names a couple of times since (used to be owned by same group who owned Star Island) - don't bother doing an Internet search as photos are totally staged and a lot of the info is blatant misrepresentation. The management at this place was horrrible, they did landscaping work in middle of night, moldy tubs (no showers), broken security lights (very dark grounds), no restaurant, no daily housekeeping, only pay shuttles available which were very expensive, terrible location (on corner of highway, plus property is divided in half by a major road), no activities scheduled besides an art auction and timeshare tours, as well as the worst timeshare sharks who only cared about securing more potential customers.
They might have improved things in the last several years since we've been, but the fact remains this was a budget property that advertised as a 4 star resort - far from it! I spent the entire first day crying in our room because we planned our trip based on the info the hotel gave us and they basically lied to us. We paid a lot of money for this place as well and so we had a terrible time for a million different reasons.
Maybe your experience would be better as your dad is an owner, but I think that there are much better places to stay at while in Orlando.
God luck, Tiger
