Has anyone stayed at this new hotel? It looks really nice with two bedrooms, one having bunk beds and a full kitchen.

I will be there next week I'll let you know when I get back if you back if you don't get any feedback sooner.

Thanks, will you be staying in a kid-suite?

We stayed in a kid suite one night and a 2 bedroom the next. My kids were expecting the kid suite to be more like the one we had at the hard rock in Orlando so were a little disappointed - but were OK with it.

You will probably want to re-arrange the furniture some if you need the fold out sofa bed as it touches the TV stand so you can't get past - or you might WANT to leave it - they do have their own bathroom and TV - just can't get to the kitchen



Everything is nice and new. Staff was friendly.

Parking was a bit of an issue - lots of very tight compact spots and not enough parking in the lot if the hotel is at capacity. They do have an overflow lot - but not much fun if you are coming in late!

Our family stayed there in December and loved it. We had a two bedroom suite. Our daughter and 2 1/2 year old grandson in one and my husband and myself in the other. We couldn't hear any noise from the other bedroom, I was worried about that when booking this suite. Also no noise from other rooms or the hallways either.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They even have shopping service we used for grocery items and incidentals. Great!

The buffet breakfast was plentiful. Try the do it yourself waffle bakers, yummy. One morning they had biscuits and sausage gravy and although I was hesitant to try it was quite good. They had lots of other choices, fruit, cereal, bagels etc.

The shuttle picked up next door at the Hyatt. It was just past our pool outside the gate. We got Starbucks coffees while we waited. I don't know how I would like sharing a shuttle in the summer, could get crowded. We were the first stop, with two more after us.

Our suite was plenty big enough and it was great having two bathrooms. We were there for five days and we never felt crowded. The kitchen was full sized, lots of pots and pans and utensil, even a dishwasher.

We paid 136 a night. Considering for two families we would have paid more than that for two separate rooms and no kitchen we were happy with the price and quality and would stay there again.

It sounds exactly like what we are looking for. We will be staying for five nights with two teens who need their own beds. This should give us lots of space and is in a good location since we will be doing Knotts as well as Newport Beach area.

Just got back. The hotel was very clean. Parking is horrendous!!!!We were able to find a spot ever night but it was a hassle.
We didn't have a kids suite. They were sold out. THe hotel was full. Breakfast was good but crowded.We used the shuttle to the park and it was always prompt. We didn't return on it so I can't help there.
The room was small with all our suitcases/stoller, but it was livable.
Any Questions?

Would you stay there again or did you see something you liked better?

I would stay again but I would definately get the kids suite. There is anoutback, joe's crab shack and another hamburger restaurant that are all walking distance. Target is basially across the street but it does't have grocery in it.
If you plan to use the kitchen it is worth it to be a litlefurther from DL. The shuttles were great. If a bus was full they would send an overflow bus or another hotel bus.
A lot of the hotels near there seem more busiess oriented like Hyatt, Embassy suites,etc. I like the hominess of the Residence Inn.
Oh they also have a small game room for the kids andon the wekends at 6 pm they show a movie.
