The location is very convenient to Epcot. The staff was quite accommodating, save for pool Cabana bar staff that could use to lighten up. The building is confusing to traverse but once you get acclimated, it’s fine. Interior of building is showing wear but still well maintained. Great food options beyond typical Disney fare. Great dinner at Shula’s! Not at all inexpensive but vacations at Disney aren’t. Enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed the convenience of the food and amenities. Only thing I didn’t like was that we reserved a room for 5 but it was only 2 beds with no sofa bed for the 5th person so we had to rent a rollaway bed for the 5th person which we were charged an additional $35 a night for a rollaway bed. But other than that we enjoyed our stay and we will definitely return.

We love the mandara spa. We love the scent of the hotel lobby…it’s instant relaxation when you walk in. The property is wonderful. Restaurants are overpriced but the variety is good. Have stayed here many times and this time the room had a very musty. The carpet and even the toilet paper was damp. Never had that happen before. Called the front desk as soon as we arrived. Someone was going to come spray deodorizer. The smell never went away and made the room stay unpleasant. I’m

This is my second visit to this property: The hotel lobby and surrounding property are both very nicely kept. I enjoyed the dining options and the transportation; there is a boat that takes guests to Epcot, and the Disney buses are very easy to use. The staff is very friendly and helpful; one exception was the Saturday morning concierge who could not print concert tickets for me when the "business center" printer stopped working. Our room was nicely appointed; the room had new furniture, and the bedding was very comfortable. The only negative is that the shower had a moldy smell. Everything in the bathroom looked clean. While the room was very clean and furniture and carpet looked new, the hallway carpet outside our room looked very old and needed to be replaced. There was no valet parking available when we arrived late on Friday evening, but self-parking was plentiful and a short walk to the hotel. Overall, I would stay here again, very convenient.
