Florida Cheap Vacations

Hotel is what you would expect from a 3 star, although the pool/hot tub was really nice. Hotel is motel style. Furnishings have been updated, but hardware and paint needs some work. Only one thin blanket and a sheet to keep you warm at night and even though I requested more blankets I never received one. If you want your bed made/towels changed, you’ll have to request a ‘Room Refresh’. Location is very good and you can walk to restaurants/Walgreens/Icon Park. What really lets this hotel down is their free shuttle service to the parks. The bus to Epcot left at 11:45am, half the day wasted so we had to spend the money for an Uber. We waited almost 30 minutes the next morning to get to the parks, plus it took an hour on the shuttle to actually get to Magic Kingdom; we didn’t get there until 11am, so a morning wasted. That night, the Monorail at Magic Kingdom was shut down and all guests were stranded waiting for one boat to the Transportation Center. Everyone was delayed, not just us. I called the shuttle hotline and explained the situation and if they wouldn’t mind waiting a few more minutes, but they told me the shuttle wouldn’t wait and hung up on me! More money spent on an Uber to get back to the hotel. Also the guest information sheet about the shuttle had incorrect information. The website to reserve your slot was incorrect and the times were incorrect. I had to do some online searching to discover the correct website to reserve and discovered the correct times.

Clean rooms, friendly staff. Only issue was that the fire alarm woke us up two mornings in a row.

Clean room, great staff. Very close to oark and the RunDisney event start.
