Greetings,
My wife & I have stayed there the last two years and we
have had good experiences. This hotel is reasonably priced and
has an excellent location. There are numerous dining options within
walking distance and is around the block from the Crossroads shopping
center and the main entrance to Downtown Disney. It is also close to
the I4 Freeway so you are no more than 15 minutes from the Universal or
Disney attractions. There is also a great outlet mall on the other side of
the freeway with a number of designer brand stores. Let me be honest
with you and tell you that this hotel is not the Ritz but it is clean and
we found the staff considerate and helpful. Our room had a microwave
and small refrigerator and there are a few more amenities if you are
booking a family suite. I would offer two suggestions - First, as for
a room on the Palm Parkway side of the hotel. The other side faces
I4 and it could be a little noisy during peak traffic periods. Second,
I would definitely rent a car. There is transportation available to
the attractions but these tie you to a schedule and you want to come
and go as you please and this gives you the ability to seek out other
local dining options and other nearby attractions. Please feel free to
e-mail me direct if you would like to know more about our experiences.
You can also go to

and enjoy your vacation.
