Probably not the typical traveler. Needed to take care of some family business - not interested in area attractions. The pros: +The hotel was a relatively good price. +Free breakfast and there were a variety of options, which is unusual for this class of hotel. I particularly appreciated the veggie egg white omelet and the turkey sausage. +If you are there for attractions, it is in a good location and is also not too far from the airport. The cons: -At check in I was told that I was being placed in a king room-- even though I am an IHG member and had booked a double queen on the hotel (not a consolidator) website. The front-desk person tried to convince me that I had misunderstood and booked 2 beds (a king and a pullout queen). I then showed her my confirmation email listing two standard queen. Then she changed her story and said that because I only put 1 traveler they "upgraded" me to the single king. However that is not an upgrade since they were the same price-- which I showed her by pulling up the hotel website. She then blamed the problem on the earlier shift but said that she had "worked some magic" and was able to get me into the room that I had booked and prepaid...Too much game playing for me. The meh: /The room was fairly clean but shabby-- which is to be expected of a hotel that sees the kind of traffic to which hotels in this area are subject. /Parking is free-- but why was there a giant semi taking up several prime spots a couple of the nights?

Dear TejiA, Thanks for taking the time to review our hotel with some good and some not-so-good, as we can pinpoint where we may need improvement. We pride ourselves on a variety of offerings and we're pleased to see that these offerings were to your liking. I apologize for the miscommunication at check in and have made a note on working with the agents on duty about clear and concise information for the good of our guests. We do not encourage "game-playing" and only attempt at upgrading guests based on availability, Elite member status, and availability. Our king rooms do command a higher rate than the standard 2 queens but as that is not what you booked and paid for, it was not relevant for the discussion. I am sorry for that interaction. For clarity, we do host many different types of travelers and one of our major contracts houses long-distance truck drivers. We do our best to secure space in the rear of the lot for these vehicles but during times of peak occupancy, there can be a disruption in the availability of space. I truly appreciate your thoughts and hopefully we shall see you again soon!

OMG where do I start? Kelly is obviously an incredible manager who makes everything perfect. What an amazing stay!!! From the time I checked in until I checked out I was always accommodated. They had great suggestions and room was so clean and checked daily. And all my needs were promptly met! I cannot begin to recommend this hotel enough! Breakfast was incredible and fuel for my Disney days!! I can’t wait to come back. Stay on property? Nope I’ll stay here! Cannot recommend enough. Amenities are great and welcoming and atmosphere was perfect! See you soon!

Checked in early and was immediately accommodated by the front receptionist Melisa. I’m here for 3 days and already feel welcomed by the staff and property. Amazing rooms with gorgeous surroundings. I’ll be adding more to this review once my stay is complete, but given the hospitality received, I felt I needed to get this review out and highly recommend this property. Left today and my favorite front staff Melissa was there again. She was accommodating with a late checkout and also how my stay went. Amazing customer service. The entire front desk staff were amazing. Thanks; because of you all I’ll be back soon.

Had a short, but sweet stay at this hotel! Great location for visiting the theme parks & plenty of restaurants & shops close by. All staff we encountered were friendly & helpful. Room was spotless & comfy. Breakfast was good for an "included hotel breakfast" & the staff in the restaurant did a great job keeping the food (& coffee!) stocked, & tables clean. Didnt get to use all their facilities (pool etc) as only there 1 night for a quick Disney visit, but it has a lot to offer for a longer stay! Would recommend!

Needed a getaway for a couple of days to decompress and reset. It’s close to attractions and I was really impressed with all the amenities for the price. I booked on the property website and got the best room available, overlooking one of the multiple pools! Best of all they welcome pets, so I was able to bring my dog. The property was clean and I felt very safe, I will definitely return to this hidden gem.

Lovely contemporary hotel, great rooms, great breakfast & as important - outstanding staff, Melissa was supremely friendly & helpful, even had scales to weigh our luggage! Nicholas friendly too. I think ‘Art F’ review in July is an honest review & covers everything you might need. We stayed in December & it was very quiet/peaceful but I guess could be different in family holiday season.
