Conveniently located for Disney Parks and Premium Outlets

This is a great hotel for anybody, but especially families as there is a great pool. A couple of things to note: the Disney shuttles do not run on a regular schedule all day so if you arrive after lunch you may have to wait a while to take the shuttle. Also if the hotel is busy, returning from the park late at night may mean you are hunting for a parking space, although the hotel will offer free valet parking if this is the case.

Good outlet shopping but I would suggest avoiding the weekends as parking can be difficult to find and access road in and out can be extremely busy

Weekend Family Getaway

This was our 2nd time staying at this hotel. We returned because of the comfort, the proximity to restaurants (walking distance for brkfst, lunch & dinner), family/pet friendly, and helpful staff. Enjoy a cocktail at the poolside bar while the kiddos are in the pool, i did :) This is a very busy area so if you are looking for acres of lush green grounds find another place.

PRETTY GOOD

UPON ARRIVAL TO THE HOTEL MY ROOM WASN'T READY SO THEY GAVE AN EQUIVALENT FOR THE NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY THE STAFF MOVED US TO THE CORRECT ROOM WHILE WE WHERE OUT ENJOYING THE DAY AS WELL AS COMPENSATED US FOR THE ERROR. AFTER THAT NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS WITH THE HOTEL. ONE SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO OFFER FREE OR DISCOUNTED TRANSPORTATION TO THE PARKS ALL PARKS.

Great trip, bizarre lodging.

Not sure how the housekeeping works. Stayed 5 nights and housekeeping never took out garbage. We just threw it in the hallway after a couple days. No refills on complimentary coffee and water during the week. Beds very high and very hard. Great pool. Great pool bar. Perfect location.

After 50 stays, BUYER BEWARE

The new owners ripped out the Safari theme and replaced it with just ordinary. This was always a motel with 2 swimming pools, not a resort. But now besides big increases in room rates, they tack on a $9.95 "resort fee" plus an unreasonable $10 parking fee (parking at the Marriott next door is FREE, as it is in the surrounding area.) So count on $19.95 in annoying hidden charges before you book here. We stayed at this property over 50 times in 10 years, but do not like their new greedy attitude.

It's simply perfect!

I'm big on reading reviews before making reservations in any hotel. This hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was clean, the sheets and towels were crisp and smelled delicious! If Orlando wouldn't have been sooooo freezing I would have loved to enjoy the pool! Either way, definately worth the money to stay here. The staff was very nice. I had also called ahead of time to let them know I was arriving late and they were ok with that as well. Many restaurants around the hotel to eat after a long day at Disney as well, all walking distance.
