My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The location was unbeatable, so close to Disney and many restaurants, which made our trip convenient. I really appreciated the friendly staff, who were always ready to help. However, the room we stayed in had some issues, like a musty smell and questionable cleanliness. Overall, it's a good spot, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

Rooms

The room had a musty smell, which was pretty unpleasant. There was also some hair in the bathroom when we arrived, and after requesting new bedding, I found they just made the bed with the same sheets. On top of that, it took a long time to get hot water, and the noise from the air conditioning unit was quite disruptive.
