(1,085 reviews) ★★★★★ Outstanding Stay – Highly Recommended! My stay at this hotel was absolutely spectacular. The hotel is extremely comfortable, well-maintained, and perfectly located. Everything is close by, with many great dining options within walking distance, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Transportation to the theme parks is very convenient, with shuttles running constantly, making it easy and stress-free to get around. The staff truly deserves five stars. Everyone was professional, friendly, and attentive—from the front desk team to the housekeeping staff. I would especially like to mention a very kind Venezuelan lady with gray hair who takes care of the lobby restrooms. Unfortunately, I don’t remember her name, but she was always incredibly attentive and kept the bathrooms spotless at all times. Her dedication and warmth truly stood out. Overall, this hotel exceeded all my expectations. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, excellent service, and a great location.
