Would have like a bottle of water in the room for when we arrived. It was really hot. Was there for 13 days and the food choices was a bit redundant. The shrimp tacos were excellent. Staff was great. Manager Joe I believe was very helpful when my son took sick and we had to cancel put flight back and get medical help. We were able to stay in the same room which was helpful.

8/10 Good
"Very clean and well-maintained facilities. The pool is excellent, especially for children, and the location is beautiful and very convenient, just a short distance from Hollywood Studios. Regarding the staff, while they were helpful and able to assist when needed, the level of customer service did not match the standard typically experienced at Disney hotels. At Disney properties, staff members are consistently warm, welcoming, and proactive, always greeting guests with a smile and going the extra mile to ensure a memorable stay. In this case, although the front desk team addressed our requests, the interaction felt more functional than friendly—there was a noticeable lack of warmth, enthusiasm, and that extra level of care that truly elevates the guest experience."
