Sorry, I have not been to this property before. But, if it is anywhere near the quality of the other Hyatt's I have been to recently you will enjoy it. It does look like a nice place.

Looks like they have good rates also!

look on www.biddingfortravel.com for reviews. Select Florida/Orlando Area/WDW, then choose Hotel List. Each hotel is listed w/ a link to the reviews.

We stayed there in May and it was fine, DH did not like it as well as the Wyndham Orlando, but w/ Priceline you don't get to choose your hotel. We paid $35 per night and it was well worth that price, though I do not think it was worth the "rack rate".

I stayed there twice. The last time was for seven days in June. I really like the hotel and hope to get it again on Priceline for my next trip.


Best things about the hotel:

It consists of a series of 2 story buildings so the walk from the parking area to the room is very short (great after commando style touring of the parks).

The grounds are pretty and the property is gated and guarded well into the night.

The rooms have been recently redecorated and are very comfortable.

The drive is very short to the parks. It is a pleasant drive since there is not many buildings on I-92 between the hotel and the parks.

For $35 on Priceline, it is a bargain. I can book a car and room for the same or less than a room at All Stars.

They have always accommodated my room requests upon check in (I do give them my Hyatt gold passport number).


The cons:

Only a few rooms have bathtubs. Make sure to ask if you want one.

It is best to have a car since the buses schedule is sporadic. One bus drops at all four parks. If you want the last park, the ride can be very long. They charge some customers for bus service, but Priceline customers do not seem to be charged.

Many of the rooms are close to I-4. Ask for a quiet room away from the interstate.

They filed for bankruptcy in May. The Hyatt only manages it. I'm hoping is does not close during these difficult times.

The hotel rates as a 1 star on Hyatt's mailings. Don't expect it to be as nice as most of the other Hyatt properties.
