There is a nice pool and gym facilities. We arrived early and were given a room right away. There is coffee, hot chocolate, tea and fresh baked cookies in the foyer at all times. There are many restaurants within walking distance and also transportation (free) to and from the parks ( we had our car and the parks were all within a 10 min. drive) $8 a day lets you park in any of the theme parks. I highly recommend this hotel as an economical option to staying on site. (We have stayed at Caribbean Resort and preferred this hotel at half the price. Four adults stayed in the room and we were not charged an additional fee.
This sounds like a nice place. I looked for pricing during November and it is $79 per night. I wonder why the big rate change for November? We are currently booked at the Holiday Inn Family Suites but I am wondering if I want to deal with things being torn up for remodel over there.
