We stayed at HIFS for 10 glorious nights! We were totally thrilled with the rooms and the pools! The food court was priced right also!
Our room had a large living room with a big tv, digital safe, vcr, small table, small kitchenette with cabinets for storage of food. The bathrrom was exceptionally clean. The shower pressure was great! In the bathrrom there is a large cut-out area for storage of all kinds of things!
The master bedroom had a closet(mirrored doors(see comment below about the lock and door..and you will understand the comment about mirrored doors!!)!), TV, VCR, 4 drawers, plus a few shelves around the tV. Kingsize bed with lots of pillows, 2 nightstands. A wonderful vanity area equipped with a make-up mirror, hairdryer, drawer..and 4 plug ins!!! A dream come true in a hotel!!! Plus this room has a door with a lock( you know, 10 days is a long time....without a door and a lock..and this place had it! Great!!)
The bed is high enough to store all your luggage under the bed!!! Great idea again!!
The kids' room does NOT have a door, but has a curtain! The room has a bunk beds, a small table, a cot folded up( we never used this), a TV, VCR, NINENTENDO, CD player, 2 very small drawers, and small shelves( that were NOT VERY DEEP).
The kids' room actually needed more drawer space!! That was my only complaint with the rooms was drawer space!
My oldest slept ont he sofa sleeper in the living room and never complained about it's comfort, so I guess It must have been good!
The pool was wonderful..warm and fun! The only complaint is it was closed several times( almost daily) during part of the day. A storm ANYWHERE in the area, automatically closed the pool, this got a bit frustrating..because it storms alot in the late afternoon in JUNE!). Sometimes, it would be perfectly nice at HIFS..but a dark cloud would be somewhere..and they still closed the pool.
The pool was also closed for puke in the pool( YUK) and another incident..they would NOT reveal what!
But when the pool was open, It was grand!
We ate the the food court several times. Kids under 12 eat free...the first few times..I dragged my kids with me because the sign said the KIDS had to be present to get the free meals. Well, I was the ONLY person there with kids..so after a few days.. I just went by myself( and brought the food to the pool area where the kids were there with their dad). I got a Supreme pizza and coke for me..and 4 free kids cheese pizza and drinks! 6.38!!!!
We all ate for 6.38!!( i know, my husband is NOT technically a kid..but he ate a kid's meal everyday..otherwise he would just eat the kid's leftovers.) The food court staff was terribly INEFFICIENT. Plan on at least 15 minutes to get the food after you order....but for the price I couldn't complain!
There is also a small grocery store that has Krispy Kreme Doughnuts! They go fast..but we had some several mornings!
Breakfast was a bit disappointing! We found things to eat,,but it was NOT grand!
We did Karoke one night..the kids loved it!!!
The pool bar is nice..again pricy..but convienent! AFter the second day..we just brought a small cooler down to the pool area filled with drinks for the kids..and some for us!
Any questions..?????
overall all, we will never stay on site again! for 99.00 it was hard to beat1
Location was great the longest was to MK and that was only 6-8 minutes to the parking lot. The TTC center was busy..and we were spoiled by always staying at the POLY in that sense...But that was the only downfall of not staying at the POLY!
Epcot and MGM was even shorter! AK was a bit longer..but not much!
Get directions for coming home from MK..because once you get the right way home..it is a breeze too!
Oh by the way , we requested building 7 or 8..we got 11..but it was nice and convienent also!
any more??
