Holiday Inn and Suites

[KCmike]

Does anyone know anything about this resort? Is it walkable? Any good?

It's the only thing available the first week of June! Why is that?

Don't they have a shuttle? But yes, you can walk down Walnut then east on Magic Way to get to the Mickey & Friends tram area, and ride in from there. Here is the path on gmaps - about a half mile. Or walk through DTD and take the Monorail or continue all the way to the entrance area. There's a Shell gas station next door with a convenience store and a Subway sandwich shop (if I remember correctly). Next door to that is a US Post Office for all of your send-it-home needs. Beyond that it's all residential...

Anybody else stayed here? Need as much help with this location as possible.

We stayed there 3 years ago I think. It was ok, nothing spectacular. We had booked a normal room but had to go back to the front desk several times because our key did not work. They ended up upgrading us to a suite. If I ever stayed there again I would get the suite. We booked through getawaytoday.com and our package came with a hot breakfast, I'm not sure if they offer that or not anymore.

It doesn't have a dedicated shuttle and I can't remember if ART goes there or not. We walked every time and it was a bit of a walk, farther than HOJO I think. Plus you go in the back way, we walked through DTD every time to get to the front gates.

We stay there.
If you click my travel report it has pictures of the newly renovated rooms
They are finishing up renovations on the hotel.

We take the A.R.T. to the park.. you purchase tickets for $4 and you can go back and forth to the park and the hotel all day and night as many times as you wish.

Also.. they have a nice breakfast daily included in your stay.

You can get a fridge and microwave added to your room for 10 a day.

When we were there in December..they told us that the hotel will take you to downtown disney for free and pick you up there.

We like to stay there..the staff are very nice.

In fact..we are staying there this weekend.

Can you take some more pictures and report back on the renovations? It looks pretty far away and we had some bad luck with the art. Did you say they would take you to Downtown Disney for free? Do they have their own shuttle for that?

We stayed there 2 years ago, its about a 15 min walk around the garage to the tram stop, or about 20 min walk to DTD.

Sounds like I need to stay on harbor.
