We just came home from staying five nights here. We did not do Disney, but did Wonderworks, Seaworld, Aquatica & Busch Gardens. We had a nice time & I was happy with the hotel, especially the deal I got for the room.
Pros: This hotel is in a great location. It has easy access to all of the parks in the area. Seaworld & Aquatica are very close, we didn't even have to get out on any main roads. We also could use the backroad to get to I-4 & when you leave the hotel, take a right and walmart is only three miles down the road. Very convienient & will stay in this area when we go again. You can walk to the shopping center which has numerous restaurants. We drove though because it was so hot. The hotel is very quiet, we never heard any noise the whole time. The beds are very comfy with good pillows (which the kids had the beds, DH & I switched between an air mattress & sofa bed). Full size refridgerator was a plus too. The breakfast is eggs (disks & hard boiled), sausage links, waffles, fruit, cereals, oatmeal & muffins & pastries. It was good, but I did get sick of it before we left.
Cons: The furniture is very dated. The couch & recliner were old with the recliner having a hole in it & was kind of crooked when you reclined. The t.v's are also the older type, but they worked fine. The hallways are downright hot. No ac in the hallways so when you go out in them it is like a sauna. Housekeeping is very hit or miss & every day we had to go down to the front desk to get more towels & toilet paper. They would only leave four towels & one roll of toilet paper. Plus they wouldn't leave the towel for the floor except twice. One day we came back from the parks at 4:00pm & the housekeeper was just then cleaning our room, so we just waited in the lobby. I thought that was rather late.
All in all, it was good especially for the price I paid ($59 a night), and they don't charge any resort fees that some hotels do in the area. Because of the lack of updating I would not pay more for this hotel, but would stay again & would recommend to anyone. Between it being an all suite, location, quietness & having a kitchen, these things easily made up for it being outdated. The pool was also very clean, on the small side, but clean.

), if you had a quiet room can you tell me about where it was - ie, floor and side of the building?
We put most everything back in the car, stayed out at epcot until about 1 am and then slept with all the lights on and got out of there at 6 am! I was afraid to even let the kids sleep on the pullout so we all squished into 2 beds (3 adults, 2 children) One of the tvs didn't work at all (connector was broken) and there were some really questionable people hanging out in the parking lot (which I guess you can't really blame the hotel for that to be fair). The door next to us looked like someone had tried to kick it in or something, I just did not feel safe staying there or touching anything.
