My parents have just booked this hotel, any reviews, tips or opinions welcome.
 
We have stopped there a few times, not a bad hotel, decent size rooms and good facilities, traffic can get very busy on Vineland Road outside especially the right turn down to Downtown Disney Area
Easy walk to Golden Corrall and Bahama Breeze.
The Free Breakfast is ok, can get busy down there also, nothing fancy, cereals, muffins, fruit etc

You haven't said when they are going, last time we went we were height of the Brazillian tour party season and they took over the hotel, we had them in laundry room next to our room at 2.00am in morning playing loud music and slamming doors, called security to them a few times, after two nights of this we complained to the Rep who got the hotel to move us to a room away from them.
They speak to the people in charge of the groups but they have no respect for anyone anyway so falls on deaf ears.

Used to be a favourite hotel of ours but after tour party takeover I wouldn't stop there during tour party season.

Hotel staff always been great.
 
Stayed there 4 times, booked again for Nov.
Post above just about covers everything, we had a tour group in once but they never bothered us.
Worst thing about the hotel for me is the traffic as described but for £37/nt incl breakfast & Wifi I will cope with a little traffic.
 
We've stayed there and found it to be a great hotel for a great price. The fridge in the room was a little agressive even when on the highest temperature....but we got used to eating our Publix yoghurt frozen!!!!

Breakfast was OK, nothing special, but filled us up, leaving more money for lunch/snacks. The 'food court' was OK too...Pizza Hut pizza was a godsend after getting in late from the parks.

My parents are there from the 8th of November until the 18th, think they may overlap with you?

Food options sound good, thanks
 
to miss the traffic at the Vineland/535 T-junction,go the opposite way till you hit i-drive then turn right and right until you hit the 535 again.stops you having to trying to get into outside lane quickly and much easer on the stress value.If you don't like to drive on I4 and want to go to universal turn left where you hit i-drive and you will find it easier

November you'll be fine, tour party free and traffic should be less.

They will love it, plenty of food options both on site and a couple of minutes walk away.

Great news, thanks very much.
 
We are heading there in 51 days and it'll be our third time staying here. (6th trip in total)

I like it. We don't drive so it's shuttles to Disney are great for us.
We've never had a problem

Breakfast is fine for being free of charge.

Close enough to Disney for me :)

Sounds like its perfect for my parents , close enough to us at BC , but far enough away and with good facilities nearby.

Thanks for the directions, should come in handy.
