Has anyone stayed here at this hotel that opened up earlier this year? Do you recommend it? Thanks.

I think there was a recent DIS podcast review on this might be worth a listen or trip advisor

My fiancée and I stayed there in August. I've got it booked again for February.

I do have status with IHG so this plays into it a bit as I paid entirely with points in August (4 night stay) and I'll be doing points/cash in Feb (5 nights).

The hotel is new(ish) so things are still bright and shiny. We had a king suite room type which gives a little extra room with a pull out sofa. We didn't spend much time in the room, but it was plenty of room for us two and our luggage. Note that our room did not have a tub (shower only). The breakfast area is really large. The two elevators are kind of slow. The pool is open and looked nice (albeit small) - we did not swim. It was also a really nice and easy 12-15 minute walk to the DLR Plaza. One day I uber'd for the heck of it and it was $4.50 (not incl tip), but I was just curious - no need to really do that as the walk is a breeze.

Parking is pretty much valet only ($15+tax). They say there is self parking, but in reality there isn't (maybe 1 or 2 spots which were never available).

We did use the washer/dyer (there was only 1 ea. so luckily it was free when we needed it).

I'd absolutely recommend it. I didn't take any photos (like I usually do) because we were back to back to back in the park!

Any specific questions and I'll do my best to remember!
