Loved our wholesale stay here. It was under a renovation but didn’t let it get in our way. The rooms do need updating. We liked the garden rooms and we had a nice view of the water. Would of liked it our room had easier access to elevators and lobby. Also wish dining options were open later from being at the park all day. Hard to get reservations.

Great hotel

Great hotel! Beautiful view of the Magic Kingdom from our room! Jen and Bob, the hotel staff were wonderful! They were so friendly and so helpful. The food at the Contempo Cafe was delicious and the staff there was very friendly. Would definitely stay at the Contemporary Resort again.

Our stay at the Contemporary

Our stay at the Contemporary started out on a bad note. I had called prior to checking in to request adjoining rooms. I explained I had an autistic child that needed this extra space between the two rooms so my other family members could be readily available in case I needed them. The hotel assured me it would not be a problem. Well guess what? When we checked in they said they had nothing in the computer about this. After explaining why I needed this still nothing. Said they could not accommodate us but could the next night. Needless to say we didn't get much sleep the first night. Had gobs of hair in both bathroom tubs. At the end of our stay we decided to have brunch at the California Grill restaurant at the hotel. After our 600 bill came for 6 people for brunch the waitress said she would validate our valet voucher for the day. When my husband presented it to the attendant they said they couldn't honor it because we checked in on Friday and it was now Sunday. After speaking with the manager they still wouldn't budge. I just think if you are going to portray yourself as one of the top Disney Resorts they should act like it instead of treating people like any other hotel would be expected too.
