This place is a dump. Save your money, half the property is closed due to paint and renovations. Beds and linens were gross. Moved rooms, seapped towels, requested new blankets. Do not subject your family to this property. You will have better accommodations at the local camp ground.

The hotel was under staffed and no amenities. I had to call the front desk 5 times to get towels. Bar and snack bar close at 3pm so nothing available in the evening when we returned from the parks. The room itself was very clean and well worth it.

Pleasant greeting on reception. Construction outside which we were not warned about. Dog barking at 6 in the morning next room to us and barked all day until around 9. Cafe bar and restaurant were not open even though advertised. They did offer some sort of breakfast from 10 to 3. I was looking forward to relaxing at the bar in the evening. Cleaning staff did not come the 3 days we were there and they only gave 1 coffee pack, which caused me to head to the front desk to retrieve. The gentleman at the desk was very polite. Would not recommend to go in the beginning of the week. I was told the bar is open Thursday to Saturday if you want to enjoy your evenings after a long Disney day, and if you want clean sheets. Good luck.
