Dh and I decided to extend our 8-day WDW vacation at AKL to 10 days this past weekend. Nearly everything was booked well before the Memorial Weekend, but we were determined. We were excited when we found a "deluxe tower" room at the Grosvenor -- and for only $150/night. Hmmm...we should have been more suspicious. While the lobby of this hotel was ok, the hallway carpeting was stained and paint was peeling off the walls. Admittedly, there was some work being done on the hotel; but I think they waited way-way too long to do it. Our room was clean but like an el cheapo motel off an interstate highway. The mattresses were skinny and hard, the celing was low, there was next to no furniture in the room and not even a picture on the walls, and the bathroom fixtures were stained. It gave us the creeps. We stayed less than 5 minutes before deciding to spend the night about 20 minutes from WDW. Fortunately, we lucked into a room at CSR the next night. Some will flame me for sayting this, but I just don't think you can beat the Disney resorts for price (if you have AP's like us) and theming.
