We are previous visitors to Disney and have chosen to stay in Disney hotels. We are a family who spends all day at the parks - and paying for Disney resorts seemed a bit of a waste of money. We still wanted to be on resort - so thought we would try this place. I will list the pros and cons. It is important to note this is not a Disney hotel - although it is on site. Pros Proximity to Disney Springs. This was probably the biggest plus for me. It was maybe a 3/4 minute walk to Disney Springs - and as such we used Springs more than we have on any other vacation. Good housekeeping. Came everyday - and also done a good a job. Rooms - maybe a little dated - but were clean and tidy. Free Transport to Disney Parks. (More about this on cons) Nice Pool area. Handy Joffrey's coffee shop - that opened at 6am that were handy for early park starts. Cons As I said this is not a Disney hotel - as such there is no Disney Magic. WIFI - unless you are in the main building the WIFI is non existent. You will need to have an international data plan if coming from abroad - because you need your phone to do anything Disney now. Transport. Why I have had it as a pro - it's also a con. If you are used to Disney transport this is not it. You have to pre book an exact time - and it's only every hour go and return times. As such budget for a few Ubers - or if starting later and say going to Hollywood Studios - go and have something to eat at Disney Springs and get a bus to say the Riveria and then then sky rail to Hollywood. We still used Disney transport a lot. Also worth noting in Magic Kingdom they don't have permission to drive up to the entrance like Disney Buses. You still need to get the monorail. The staff are nice - but they are not Disney cast members and don't have the knowledge. I asked one of them how to get to Blizzard beach - and he said the only way was taxi. That didn't sound right to me - so I goggled it and it turns out you there is a bus that goes from Animal Kingdom park. Being on site - staff should have this basic information. On the whole - I think this is a solid on site budget option. When you put it into perspective one night at The Riveria is the cost of four nights here. If you have been to Disney before and are confident with the process then I would book here - if however it is your first trip I would consider spending a little more and staying in a Disney Hotel.

This is the best resort at Walt Disney Resort! We stay here all the time when we visits. Of course we are local but we love to stay here for our staycation! Best staff, clean rooms, best value, and the shortest walking distance to Disney Springs!

We have stayed here before and had a wonderful experience. This last weekend we stayed and it is sad to see how deteriorated this resort has gotten. I killed a small roach and found bugs in our bed. Food ordered at the bar was not cooked well. Very disappointed. Only good thing is that Disney Springs is across the bridge.

We have been visiting this hotel for many years. We enjoy the family feel and close proximity to Disney springs which is a very short walk away. The pool complex has been a huge hit with my kids and it's a bonus having towels at the poolside. Joffreys coffee makes a perfect start to a day although this time we did have a buffet breakfast which was lovely (and had giant Mickey waffles!) We stayed in a garden room and I like being able to step outside to check the weather. The tower rooms look fantastic, especially if you are given a view of the springs because you can see for miles. The room was clean and tidy and the safe could fit a full size laptop. The fridge is big with a freezer compartment too. We wouldn't hesitate to go back -we are already planning our next trip.

I wanted to write an honest review after seeing some negative reviews prior to coming. We are staying in the sunset garden area of the hotel, this is the motel style hotel not the main tower block and I cannot fault it one bit. The room itself is modern, and whilst it does have maybe a slightly outdated bathroom area, it’s clean and tidy and has everything you need from a large fridge, coffee machine that has coffee and cups replenished daily a safe etc. One thing I cannot fault about this hotel is the Housekeeping, it is absolutely superb, I have stayed in a few hotels nearby and this hotel has the best house keeping by far. They are in your room every day making the beds up and changing towels etc. We are overlooking the pool / gardens and I would request this room if you can, otherwise you will be overlooking the car park area. We did have to move rooms due to an issue with black bugs but the hotel were on hand straight away, no issues getting a new room etc. reception were fantastic and helped straight away. The pool area is clean and lots of options for the kids (2 pools/splash area and hot tub). Location is the best, you are right next to the bridge over to Disney springs. We are having a fantastic stay at this hotel and even though the motel style made me a little nervous as this isn’t something we are used to the UK, we feel safe and secure and there is barely any noise. No more than there would be if we were in the main tower block. Excellent. We will be back.! Read less
