I had posted this a while ago and thought it might help you.

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.

another plus is the little snack/deli shop that they have.... the prices aren't bad & when you come home from the park it is convient to grab something & then head back to the room. I stayed there 2 years ago (thru Priceline too at $35) and would stay again, especially at that price!
