We just returned from there. Just curious about reviews of others who have stayed there. The place was pretty full. My kids loved the pool and it was a nice sized one. I didn't get to try out the hot tub..too tired when we got back from Epcot.
I know it's an older place, but after reading the reviews prior to going, I was really hesitant about staying there. However, our room was clean. It was on the parking lot side, but right by the breezeway to the pool. My parents were in the closest room across the breezeway from us. We were on the ground floor which was fine with me because of my back problems....no hauling luggage upstairs or to the elevator. We parked right outside our door most of the time.
It must have been renovated again since the older reviews on here. Like I said, our room was clean and fairly updated. The beds were OK..no major complaints..linens clean and not wrinkled. They did have too much cover on them, but better that than not enough. We had a microwave and fridge. There were plenty of clean towels and although we took our own soap, shampoo, etc., what they had was nice. Security did make their presence known although I never saw anyone in the guard station at the entrance. My mom left the door to her room cracked open and thought it was closed. She heard a knock and it was security warning her the door was open and cautioning her to keep it locked at all times for her own safety. We did see them patrolling the parking lots at night and on our last day there, saw a guy being chased by them.
I've stayed in nicer, more upscale places. But this one was clean and I didn't detect any of the musty smokey smells others mentioned in older posts. Anyone else have a recent stay with a different opinion?

This was the place I stayed with my DH on our first trip to WDW back in the mid 90's. I remember the room being ok and the pool and hot tub was great. We loved the food there. The only down fall was the bus to the park. The buses were old and the bus drivers constantly 
begged for tips!!! They got you coming & going. Plus it took forever to get anywhere and the buses had no air. After that trip we never stayed offsite again. The reason being the transportation. If it wasn't for that it would have been ok. 
. I need to find a place for two nights before we check into a condo at WH and this is one I am considering. We stayed here in 2004 but a lot can change between now and then
