This is the Toy Story lot -- frequently abbreviated on this board as TS. The shuttles are free to anyone, so you don't have to park there to use them. Many people staying at the hotels in the near vicinity to TS walk over to take the shuttles to/from the parks.... There's a surface lot we used & didn't go to the parking structure. We used Disney bus from there to the park.
We've stayed there, too. It was definitely too far for our little family to walk. We drove and parked in the parking structure. I will say the rooms were pretty nice- thin walls, though. Our room had a sort of lounge with a couch and a sliding door that separated it from the beds, which worked out really well. We let our kids sleep and we stayed up a little later that way. They had a decent hotel-style breakfast (waffle maker, pastries, cereal, etc). The hotel has really cute Disney decor throughout. The pool was gross, though. It's in the parking garage, which is really weird.
We've stayed there with our family and the pool was definitely not in a parking garage. Google maps images from 2019 clearly show the pool to be in the wide open. Have a look for yourself at the satellite image to be sure. We really loved staying there, but it is definitely too far for our family to walk on a Disney day.Pool in the parking garage? That does seem strange!

Hmm, that's odd. This is the photo I took of it from above. Was it the Embassy Suites South that you were at? I just want the OP to have a clear idea of what the hotel is like.It was dark and shadowy and right next to the parking garage, so it sure felt like it was in it to me. Either way, it was not a nice pool and my kids, who go ape over any pool, were not excited to try this one out. It took tons of coaxing to even get them to go walk around it. They did not want to venture in it.
