Great location. Nice lobby and amenities but double beds in a hotel of that scale is off. They need to remove Disney from the name because the bus service is not the same. Very disappointed by that fact.

Room we booked was not available. Never told when booking or before arrival. Given $90 off bill but had to be apent at hotel. When we arrived we were told that the valet parking was full as was the self parking lot. We were told we had to park at adjacent hotel and take shuttle back. Not exactly what you would expect from an expensive Disney hotel

Excellent staff, mainly wonderful fixtures and amenities, some lobby furniture is looking and feeling a bit worn, but still nice (couch cushions sink very low, etc). Convenient transport except to magic kingdom, not having direct bus service to the park was slightly challenging at times.

Very nice and comfortable property! Easy access to resorts and park with water shuttle! Staff is always so helpful and friendly!!! The lobby interiors (soft furnishings) could use a little love and updating, but are still clean and comfy. The guest room was very clean and beds were super comfy with soft linens!! We’ll be back for sure!

The room had a musty smell. Housekeeping did not clean room one day. We needed soap. For multiple days, there was a buzzing large bug inside hallway, not sure if it was bee or wasp, tried to avoid it.
