Downtown Disney Hotel

Not bad hotel for the price and location. Disney busses run every 30 minutes to the parks, but takes awhile to get anywhere due to stopping at 2 other hotels on the way to the parks and busses are always going to 2 parks. The room had a balcony with table and 2 chairs. Comfortable bed. Just an average hotel.

Great proximity to Downtown Disney and the Parks

My wife and I had a great experience and the people there were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Early checkin was not a problem. It has great proximity to downtown disney (within a short walk) and the parks (free shuttles provided every 30 min.)

Excellent value, great location.

I needed a room for a one-night stay for a work conference and I could not be happier with my decision. Staff was very friendly, the lobby was clean and well lit, beds were extremely comfortable (first time in months I have woken up with no back pain), and the elevators were plentiful and fast (got up to the 17th floor in a flash). I would definitely stay here again.

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

If you get takeout from Flippers pizza, double check to see if your side items have been included, and for the love of God stay very far away from the boneless wings.

Overnight Stay

The room was acceptable and clean and a few minutes walking distance from downtown disney. The shower continually went from scalding hot to ice cold without even touching the knob...boy that was annoying. The buffet breakfast offerings left a bit to be desired. I found a wire in my eggs that appeared to be from some type of griddle brush. The employees at the buffet kept quoting us different prices for the cost. The hotel receptionist said it was $10.99, the hostess said it was $11.99 and the waiter stated it was $12.99. We were charged the $12.99 and were precharged a 15% tip for a party of 2. I can understand why the precharged tip since i'm guessing many foreign travelers may not be familiar with American tipping customs but I personally usually give more than 15% unless it's already on the bill. it seemed like the room service breakfast would have been a better deal. The prices were better strangely enough.
