We spent 7 days at the Westgate Leisure Resort for a Disney vacation. Two adults, two teenagers. Our choice of this hotel was made because of our budget...family members have a timeshare here, and therefore it was much cheaper than any other options we had.
We obviously stayed in the timeshare portion of the hotel...this particular resort is broken down into apartments, hotel rooms, and timeshare rooms. We had a first floor end unit, but no stairs outside...I'm grateful for that because the walls were thin and I'm sure we would have heard anyone and everyone going up and down the stairs. We certainly heard every move our upstairs neighbors made during the night.
The room itself was nice, a two-bed, two-bath condo, with an outside laundry-room and full kitchen. The appliances were all in good condition, the rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. The furniture was rather dated, though since I can remember coming to this timeshare over 10 years ago, I wasn't surprised by that. The amenities at the resort were minimal...pools, hot tubs, and a gym. No spa, restaurants, or extensive guest services.
We had two complaints during our stay. The first is that the central heat did not kick on until the outside temperature dropped below 54 degrees, by which time the room was very chilly. As this was one of the coldest winters on record in Florida, we were cold for much of the trip! And at one point during our stay, the second bedroom had ants coming out of the air vent. However, management was prompt in their response to come spray the room, and we did not have any further problems.
The resort's location is excellent, it's a 15 minute drive to the Disneyworld parks, 5 minutes to Seaworld, and probably 10-15 minutes to Universal Studios.
