3 for WDW: We didn't go to Downtown Disney from the Contemporary, so I can't answer that. Sorry. We also did only fries and drinks from the food center, so not much to "write home about." I did think it seems dark and hidden in their snack center whereas others ones I've been to have windows to make it appear more open.
Drgnfly30: Tvs seemed the usual small ones.
Missypie: I thought some things did appear run-down such as worn carpet and ripped wall paper. The sides of the "balcony walls" were rusted and peeling. The cleanliness of the room was fine until I lifted up the comforter to check if we hadn't left anything when we were leaving, and I here I found all kinds of yucky little things: cracker bits, candy wrappers, even a pill. If I had a crawling toddler, this would have made me pretty upset. I know the room is shared by hundreds of people, but I don't want to see "leftovers" from previous visits. So I'd rate the hotel between 6-8 on cleanliness and upkeep.
