"We did not enjoy our stay. It is a cheap price so we did not expect much but we should have expected even less. The pool was ok--it was cold, so apparently not heated and it was right next to the highway. The super splash area that they advertisesd was not very super and it wasn't on so we're not sure if it even worked. At check in the desk person was difficult to understand and communicate with. The room was ok. It looked nice and the sheets were nice but the blanket had to be about 30 yrs old. It had nice new furniture, flat screen tv, and a granite top bathroom area. The tub was about 30 yrs old with a new tile surround that was poorly done. Our room was on the highway side so you could hear the rush of the traffic. We got a special with a BOGO breakfast buffet and kids eat free with a paying adult. They have signs in several places that say the buffet is $8.95 but for some reason they were going to charge me $15.95 for breakfast. This woman was also hard to communicate with and she said something about having to pay for a child because it has to be with a paying adult. Well to me if you offer BOGO technically that adult is paying and the child should be free. After explaining this to her she said sorry and said the bill was $25 something because she didn't understand that my 12 yr old was an adult. So we did not eat there . IMy husband talked to the front desk and they were not helpful and again difficult to communicate with so we checked out. I would not stay there again even though it was econmoical --it is very old school , not a pleasing environment, the staff is not all that friendly. helpful or easily understood."

"very good hotel, as compared with the prices. Good location & nice staff. But, there are some bugs-I stayed on the 1st floor directly abuts onto the outside."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Glenn B.

"Some pluses and some minuses. I wasn't aware that the hotel bordered a highway. VERY noisey on the road side. Desk person would not change me to the other side of the building when requested. Might have to do with the price I paid. Room was adequate. HVAC system temperature varied too much. Breakfast buffet was excellent everyday although staff was mostly indifferent. Shuttle service to parks was excellent."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Chong King Ong from Kedah, Malaysia

"My wife and I stayed at this Hotel from 19 to 24 April and 27 to 30 April for a total of 8 nights. The rate included buy 1 get 1 free American breakfast buffer of $10 and buy 1 get 1 free hot buffer dinner at $13.65. The breakfast and dinner were great with lots of choices and different daily menus. That saved us a lot time and money. The counter service was good. The hotel provided free shuttle services to all popular theme parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Seaworld. Shopping and eating lots were closed by and within walking distant. This is really a good value for money hotel which I'll recommend to my friends."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Orlando Vacationer

"The room didn't look too bad when we first checked in but as the week progressed we were finding more and more bugs on our things and in the room. I was also put off when I went to check in and they directed me over to Guest Services for a free Orlando guide to find out they were trying to push a time-share. I thought it was unprofessional and ridiculous the second we walked in the door. I definitely won't be staying here again."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Irene Robertson from New York City, NY

"Good: clean, friendly, helpful staff, not too loud and good for families. Microwave and small fridge in room. Cons: very close to freeway so you can hear the traffic noise if you are on that side. Not too loud, but very constant. Very nervous about the snake I saw on the property, but that's not the hotel's fault. It's just Florida."

"great"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Erin from San Diego, CA

"We had a great experience staying here during our trip to Disneyworld last week. I was a little worried, because I had read all of the past negative reviews on several sites, but we had a very pleasant experience. We found a deal for $49/night - which was a great value for the positive experience we had The staff was friendly and our room was clean upon arrival (except the bathtub/shower could have been cleaned better). The hotel is very conveniently located - close to the parks and lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Easy check-in/check-out. Free parking - yay! A security post out front, which is always comforting. We stayed on the highway side of the hotel, and had no problems with the noise that other reviewers have mentioned. Okay, so it's not a fancy shmancy 5-star luxury hotel...who cares! If you need a clean, comfortable, convenient place to stay for a great price, then this is the place. I will definitely return in the future. Thanks!"

"Not happy with this hotel. This would have been my second time there because the first time I really enjoyed it and wanted to return for a few reasons. This hotel is an ideal location as it's one mile from the entrance to Disney and it offered a free shuttle to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. When we arrived I was told that there were no rooms available even though I booked the hotel well in advance (2 mos). The person at the desk was soft spoken and she said to me that we were upgraded to a nicer hotel. At the time that seemed ok but I knew this hotel wasn't all glitz and glamor as that was something I wasn't looking for. We just wanted a decent hotel where we could sleep because we were going to be out and about all the time. But I decided to venture to see what was in store for us and right away I was so upset the location was so far that we were right by Sea World. When we arrived the hotel was HUGE! A place that holds conferences. There were a ton of ballrooms and we had to park so far away from our room that we already did a ton of walking. Now for a 6 and 8 year old this was not a great thing. I was also told that they did not provide a shuttle to Disney so we had to pay for parking for the 2 days. When I spoke to the manager he was trying to get in touch with the hotel to see if a shuttle could be provided to us but they were taking forever so I just decided to walk away and make the best of this inconvenience. I plan on writing a letter to the hotel and the least they can do is reimburse me for the parking charges. Not happy since all we wanted was a decent room to sleep and the convenience of being down the road to the entrance to Disney. Also, one more note as we were traveling on the highway we would pass the hotel and noticed the sign 'rooms available' what a joke."

"Shuttle service to Parks were @ selected times.N No transportation was avaiable when I checked in @ four to any parks.I had to get a rental ,and that made my trip alot more relaxing to come n go as I please,.

"Got to the hotel and was told there was no room. I would have to go to another hotel on International Drive about 10 miles away. I told them that was unexceptable. After about 10 min. of me teling the manager I would not go to International drive she found a room. It was very funny when I got to the room and most of the building was empty."

"I had booked 2 days and we got in early, so we went right to Epcot and didn't get back to the Clarion until 10pm. I was then told we got moved!!! NOT HAPPY. The other hotel was not even comparable to the Clarion and I had to wait in line for 2 hours before we got our room!!! No compensation, nothing!!!!!! The other hotel didn't even clean our room the next day!!!! My friend booked the end of our trip at the Clarion and the reservation was fine and the rooms were great!!! But after the 1st experience, I can't give them a great review!!! We were told that people at the hotel wanted to extend their stay and this is the reason we got booted. That should NEVER happen and if that was the case, they should have told them they are booked!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to extend your stay, you will have to move!!!!!!!"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Jennifer from Gainesville, FL

"Upon checking in to this hotel, we were informed that they had no room for us. The hotel made no attempts to call or email prior to our arrival. When I told the clerk that I found this unacceptable, I was simply told 'there is my manager' and was directed to a women on the other side of the room. She was of course already talking to other guests, as we were not the only family they did this to. She made no real effort to accomidate me, and simply moved us to a sister hotel eight miles from this location. The new hotel had no shuttle service to the parks that we were visiting, and we had to pay for transportation and parking. I would NEVER recommend this hotel to a friend."

"It is a decent hotel for the price. If you are looking for a good nights sleep do not stay there if noise bothers you. On 1 side you get the freeway and on the other you get foot traffic. At 7am we had 2 tour buses park in front of our room with exhaust and lots of noise from the passengers. On other days kids were playing loudly in front of our room. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The food was mediocre at best."

There were 2 pools available within a very short distance from my room. The rooms and grounds were well kept and the beds were extremely comfortable. The rooms were also clean. I received a buy one get one offer during my stay for the breakfast and supper buffets. Also my grandson, age 6, ate free. The breakfast buffet was very good ! The food was fresh, hot and very well made. It even included mickey waffles, freshly made. There are many buffets available ,free or not, but there aren't many this good. I will definitely stay again when looking for a value room in Orlando."

The bedroom was very comfortable and clean. After reading the previous reviews we requested a room facing the parking lot versus I4 and it was very quiet. The shuttle service was convenient and saved us parking at the various parks. I would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"We stayed three nights this past weekend and had a great time! The hotel is close to everything! It is near restaurants, malls, attractions & anything you could possibly want to do in Orlando. I have never stayed here before, so I was a little iffy about booking, but I am so happy I did. The rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable after long days at the park & the pool was sparkling clean! Rooms were updated and even had a microwave & fridge. We saved a bunch since we had the fridge & could store breakfast, snacks & waters. The only negative thing I can say, is that since we were on the side of the highway, we heard a little bit of noise such as horns & sirens, but besides that everything was perfect! I will be back & I'm so happy to find a new clean hotel to take my family to!"

On arrival, we were greeted with smiles and checked in quickly and efficiently. The room was clean and exactly what was stated for accommodations. The house-keeping staff kept the room clean each day we were there. For the price we paid, it was a very good deal and a very good hotel. The hotel is only a mile from Downtown Disney, and just an easy ride to any park you need to go to. Close to good restaurants and Rt. 4, what more could you ask for. Buffet style breakfast and dinner at a good price with good food. We were quite happy with the visit and would definitely stay there again."

She was very rude during the entire process of sorting the details out and her evening supervisor was even more rude. I can't even put into words the frustration we felt apon checkin.

If you put your little one on the spray gorund make sure that they have water shoes. The painted surface is very slippery and my little man did fall and scrap his arm and leg. Their are signs posted all over the spray ground not to run, but try and tell that to a child. That is my only 'complaint', which was easily rectified with water shoes.

Come On, we are on vacation, so they sent us to a hotel on I. Drive. It's still a nice property, yet the activities and dinnig discounts where not valid at the new location. Long story short, the hotel charged me again and we had pre-paid everything already!. So I am in the process of getting my refund, which now it takes 7-10 days and hopefully they will do it quickly!

"The hotel was horrible and we are receiving a refund. The door lock was broken. Called for maintenance 8 times, 7 of those were answered. However, the door lock remained broken. The last night of our stay, we had attended one of the parks in Disney; got back to the hotel; door was broken, yet still. Therefore, maintenance helped us get into the room through a window. Therefore, I will be receiving a refund on one of the 2 rooms I booked. I intend on calling the Fire Department in Orlando for safety inspections. I also intend on calling the Hospitality Licensing Department in the State of Florida for inspections on this property. Our room was not cleaned until the last day. I had to retrieve clean linens myself. It was apparent someone was entering our room because our food was being eaten. We will most definitely go back to Disney world and will most definitely not stay at this property. Ms Avary"

"hotel fine, paid on line for breakfast but told at front desk that I did not, had re cipt that said breakfast was included but was still told I had to buy one for $10.00"

"The breakfast and dinner buffets were very good and an excellent value at 'buy one get one free'."

"well very nice me and my son we both have very god time we liked the room and also the way they design the towel on our room i know in the breakf time was very busy but more staff to be attending i do work for hotel too and is very import when you go to the guest and ask , how they are ,not only they come and ask for the bill of course we have to pay???? the toast was very slow , and if they have coffe station will be nice no on the way they will be there from the dishwasher out and also the cleaning person come around to the table if they could leve one side and cary the plate to the one station doesnt look god is small thing can get better i know this hotel need somme improvement to make the hotel to look better"

"well kept place good location close to the parks and shopping"

"Thank u fot my tickets to Disney. They arrived on time n were perfect : ) however, I will NEVER stay at the Clarion Inn again! It was more like a short stay motel, than a ' family'hotel! the rooms were dirty, the staff was rude, the food was terrible, n the shuttle bus service was a nightmare! I will use ur service again on line but I will pay closer attention to the reviews. Oh well.... Thanx, Barbara."

"A really nice place with very polite housekeepers and staff. For the price, I was really pleased. The room was very nice, coffee was good and the grounds were beautiful. Very centrally located for all the Disney attractions. I'd stay there again if going back. The only negative.... the breakfast in the large dining room was overpriced for what they served. But, that does not reflect on the rooms."

"El Personal no se preocupa por solucionar algun problema existente con la reservacion, como el desayuno incluido. Ya que mi reservacion la incluia y tuve que pagarla Ademas me hicieron cambiar de habitacion, y cuando lo hacìa me indicaron que debìa realizar el check out a las 11 y regresar hasta las 4 pm para realizar nuevamente el check inn. Mi reservacion era de 3 dìas 2 noches."

"We started out with a room that someone was smoking in. But they corrected that with no problem. Not crazy about the buffet food for dinner. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We got our wake up call at 3:00 am with no problem. Great price. My husband is 6'1 and we were on double beds. I thought for the rate that was it. But my friend called in after booking and changed hers to a king with no extra charge. I will do that next time. And I will be back."

"the only problem i had was that i recieved a room with two beds when i specifically mentioned(special request) i wanted a room with king bed which i recieved the second day of my stay.other than that all was fine and close to all attractions.needs better pillows. i give this hotel a 3.5 rating"

"At check in they gave us a room that was already occupied. We lugged our luggage up to top floor and back down again and the desk kept asking if we had the right room. Hey losers, I can read English unlike you! The following night we got no wash cloths and had to call 2 times for a response. The third night the toilet clogged and after 3 calls I finally had to go to the desk raise a stink. Took them over an hour and half to show up. Avoid this very poorly run, refurbished 70's motel at all costs."

"MY WIFE AND I LOVE IT THERE. IT IS CLEAN, VERY WELL LOCATED, AND



MANY GREAT PLACES TO EAT. WE TRY TO GET THE CLARION ALL THE TIME.



MY WIFE GETS UPSET IF I CAN'T GETUS A ROOM



THANK YOU



FRANK"

"Will never stay there again,ants coming in the room and found a spider on the wall on my last night there,where the toilet and tub is,is just to small and who in the world would put a microwave,fridge and coffee maker next to the bathroom.Was finding hair in the bed and bathroom and I know it wasn't minds because I had braids.The shuttle back to the hotel from Disney was overcrowded I and other people I to stand up,how unsafe is that on about a 5 minute trip.And the light switch in the bathroom and the lamp on the nightstand had electrical problems.You can tell it was a old ran down motel that they tried to update.And food inspectors were testing the food while
people were eating and some of the food have to be taken out because of the temp was not right."

"Free shuttle service to the parks, but very infrequent and also on their schedule, not yours. It costs anywhere from 20-30 dollars to take a taxi not including tip. Rooms are clean and have all that you need but location from the parks make it hard to get back and forth without spending a fortune. Just stay on disney resorts, they pick you up and drop you off from the airport for free and have regular free shuttles every 15-20 within the parks to all their resorts and other parks as well as downtown disney."

"We have stayed at many hotels, but I have to say for a hotel of this size NOT having a luggage cart to help you carry everything to your room is a first for us. If you want hot water good luck! It takes over 2 min for the water just to get warm. Never gets hot ! There is no room for your luggage after you unpack. Had to take everything back to the car. If you have no car you are out of luck. After taking off our shoes and walking on the carpet in the room, we notice that our white socks were no longer white. It only took a few seconds for them to turn black on the bottom. The phone was NOT working, but we didn't know that until the next day when we tried to use it. Everytime we came back to our room the key card had to be used at least 4 times to get into the room. WOULD NEVER STAY AT THIS HOTEL AGAIN !! BIG MISTAKE !!!!!!!!"

"The hotel was nice the rooms were clean. The breakfest buffet needs a little help, but was ok."

"My visit to the Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista was very nice. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the place very much. It was clean and the breakfast was great. I would recommend this place to my fiends and family.



The only negative thing I have to say was about the free transportation to the parks. While the bus was clean and the driver was very knowledgable - they didn't have enough options of times for pickup and delivery. They usually only had one drop off and one pick up a day at some of the parks. This was inconvenient as we had to wait around for the bus back to the hotel."

"i absolutely loved my stay at this hotel, it was a beautiful room very comfortable beds staff was always very helpful. i would definately continue to come back and stay at this hotel for all my orlando vacations"

"We requested a room on the parking lot side and we did not get that. We got to the hotel at 1AM and by the time we knew that it was so late and we did not want to go back down to the desk. We were on the highway side and it was so noisy that we hardly got any sleep. We told the desk that in the morning when checking out and they stated that when we booked with Bookit.com the info was never passed on to them. Also our reservation said that we got a complimetary buffet breakfast for 2 and the night clerk said it was a buy one get one free. Luck for us I had the reservation printed and brought that to there attention. We like to come to Orlando for about 3 weeks 2 times a year and I do not think we could stay at this hotel. I will comment on the refurbishing of the rooms - it was very nice."

"Everything was great!!"

"one of the best buys on the hotel scence, room was very nice, food was a bargin, close to Disney, etc"

"Second time I stay here in the last 3 mos. Recently renovated, centrally located, pleasant staff, very clean. Outstanding value for the money. Be sure to book a room on the parking lot side as you will hear traffic on I-4 all night long if you don't. I was very happy with the accomodations and will stay here again in late December. Would absolutely recommend."

"I recommend this hotel, very clean, breakfast was great, I will come back soon."

"Good value accommodation to stay overnight close to Disney parks. Some noise in the rooms that look down at the highway. There is a shuttle bus to the parks once a day, but we were lazy and the car rented at the airport has served us well; free parking outside the building, $14 in Disney parks.

The three buildings are old, but something renovated - with clean rooms and great beds. For the price we paid we expected what we got.

The iron didn't work."

"The Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista was great ! The pepole there were so friendly and kind. We will stay there again when we visit Orlando again.

Roger"

"The TV channels were very fuzzy all the time. One door did not close in the sink area. Over all, for the value, is was good. Close to EVERYTHING! That's a plus. Ask for a room away from the highway side! Did not eat any meals at the Clarion....so no comment on the food."

"Great hotel, the price is worth it. NIce people, great rooms, I definitely stay here again. I love the place because it was clean and safe. They had a security on each entrance to maintain the place safe. Great place love it!!!"

"Nice stay...we liked the accommodations....neat and clean. Staff was nice."

"Great Place, will always come back."

"Got such a good rate I was a little skeptical of what we were getting ourselves into but ended up better than I ever could have hoped. Great location, clean, safe, convenient, quiet. Newly renovated rooms are very nice. Didn't use the free shuttles but they looked great. Only negative was size of beds but we knew going in that they were doubles and not queens. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to crash after long days at the parks. Will definitely stay here on any future visits."

"I booked this hotel from Bookit and got a good deal of $55 / night including breakfast. I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights because i wanted to visit Sea World and then moved to Coronado Resort in Walt Disney. I just selected this hotel based on the price and reviews but i was surprised when i actually experienced it. Its an amazing hotel for the price. Great facility, nice clean rooms, wooden furniture, free Wifi, Fridge, Microwave, good service, good breakfast etc. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a 'Good Accomodation'. Its close to walt disney entrance, kind of a 2-3 mins drive. The staff was nice. I did not use the shuttle service as i rented a car so cant comment on this.

Further more, when i checked out my wife forgot her Gold wedding ring in the room and by the time she realized that i had returned my rental car and was in Disney Resort. She called the hotel and spoke with a lady. She was very nice and kind and contacted the room service and guess what, my wife got her Gold Ring back. Now this is amazing and i was so highly impressed by the honestly of the staff. I will definately stay in this hotel again and would recommend this hotel to all my friends."

"My stay at the Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista was pretty good. The bed was very comfortable after a long day or driving and walking. The staff was quite friendly. The one bad thing I would say is that the shuttles to the park were not a great option to take. It would be nice to have earlier shuttles to all the parks that will take you there right around the time they open instead of later on in the day. We had to drive to the parks to get the advantage of getting there when it opened, which got very tiring especially after driving for three hours straight.
Overall it was an okay stay."

"The overall stay was very pleasant. I would not hesitate to book with Clarion Inn again. The staff was very friendly and willing to answer any question I may have had."

"These rooms are excellent. The prices are great. We spent 6 nights there and everything was wonderful. The beds are comfortable, the rooms was very clean. The only down side was the fridge did not work. We have stayed there every trip to Orlando and will stay there again :)"

"Very affordable hotel very close to all the attractions. Friendly staff and very clean. The only negative would be the very limited water pressure coming out of the sink faucet and shower head. This is the 2nd year in a row I stayed at the Clarion. The Orlando Outlet Mall is right across the freeway which I highly recommend if you are a shopper."

"Excellent value with Bookit reservations ! Nice pool area. Definitely family friendly!"

"Very good bus schedule! Clean room, comfortable bed, nice service!"

"My family recently stayed here and for the price, it was a very nice hotel. The rooms were fairly spacious, updated, and most importantly, very clean unlike the other hotel we stayed at in Orlando. Also, the grounds were kept up and nicely landscaped to give you the tropical feel. There was a security hut you had to pass through with your car coming and going from the hotel which may seem like a hassle but in the long run was good because it gives you a sense of security and helps keep out the criminals. Also it was worth it to pay the extra $10 per night and get breakfast for two that was offered when we booked room. Good location and close to the Disney parks."

"hotel was clean. good price"

"Great hotel! Very nice and clean. Location is perfect. Close to downtown Disney and universal studios. Great price too! Will stay again"

"I travel much, and always look for specials on various sites. This time I found an offer over a month ahead of my travel date and booked the Clarion Inn Buena Vista. My whole experience was a AAA . ...Friendly Reception, efficient check-in, nice Breakfast Buffet for a very reasonable price. (was not included in rate I paid). The rooms were fully equipped with Flat Screen TV, refrigirator, clean bathroom, and most important, clean and comfortable beds. THANK YOU CLARION INN"

"Don't hesitate, great value for what you pay."

"Very nice hotel the front desk staff was great and the house keeping staff always had my room clean when i went out and came back very close to everything i had a car but if you don't you can walk to everything, i would stay there again and again i love that they check every car coming on to the property it was clean house keeping my hats off to you wonderful job you guys work very hard blessings."

"The breakfast buffet was good but the dinner buffet left alot to be desired."

"We were very pleased with our stay at the Clarion, we found it to be very clean. My only suggestion would be that a stool of some kind or hooks be placed in the bathrooms to faciliate a place for clothing when taking a shower or bath."

"Found the Hotel through BookIt. Clean rooms, nice TV with lots of channels, nice pool, close to restaurants, bus to Downtown Disney out front only $2 per person, free shuttles to theme parks (great drivers!) and free buffet breakfast. We were pleased, only downside was highway behind us so little noisy at night. But for a hotel that you only need to eat and sleep it is perfect."

"It is a very good hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The amenities were good value for the money. The hot and cold breakfast was good. They need to cater more for vegetarians.The area is nice with beautiful landscape."

"We were able to get a room last minute for a special price that was unbeatable."

"For the price was good, I've stayed before, good location and for kids"

"We got a good deal for this hotel on Bookit.com. I believe our price was $49 a night. The room was clean and it had a microwave and a mini fridge. It's only about two blocks from the entrance to Disney. So if your driving, it's great. However, one of the reasons we chose this hotel was the shuttle to and from Walt Disney World. However, to our dismay, the shuttle service was less then useful. The shuttles only run every 30-45 minutes and they don't go often enough to every park. For Magic Kingdom their is approximately 5-7 shuttle times. For every other park there is 1. Also the pick up time isn't necessarily after the park closes. So if you were to use the shuttle you would have to leave the park early. That's terrible. But, that was my only problem with the hotel."

"Stayed at the hotel for 8 nights. Room was nice and very close to the pool.
Within walking distance of pubs and restaurants. The food at the hotel was very unappealing so give it a miss. Bar staff were great and very friendly.
Only hotel in the area that all tour companies pick up from in the area. The Free shuttle is a big bonus and the bus driver is very funny.
Go to the Kobe Steak and Sushi. From 9pm Happy Hr special and it makes it a really cheap meal with happy hr drinks as well.
Will stay again"

"We have been staying here every year since the renovation. It's a great value for the Bookit price. Always clean. BOGO breakfast is great too."

"We were there for a week and enjoy the every minute of the hotel. The rooms are nice and clean. The funny part of the stay was when I was swimmimg a squirrel got my sandals.
Will stay again."

"I couldn't ask for better. Allowed check-in early. Super clean room, coffee, fridge and wi-fi were all great! Enjoyed it, so close to everything. Would stay again, just can't wait. Thanks clarion inn lake buena vista."

"Very good value. Near to all Disney attractions which makes is perfect for us."

"Had an awsome experience, we couldn't believe the appearance of the room for the price we paid. The decor was modern and updated, very clean, and it was located in the heart of and walkng distance of restaurants and stores. We couldn't have gotten a better deal anywhere else. I will definately utilize bookit.com for my next trip and will definately seek out another Claion Inn for my next stay."

"Very good value for money.
The only bad thing I got to say about this hotel is the water in the shower wasn't that hot. "

"very satisfied with everything"

"Staff was great, resort n rooms were confortable. "

"I was very pleased when I arrived at my hotel. The hotel was very clean and the staff were polite and curteous. However, there was POOR COMMUNICATION from the hotel staff re: transportation. I walked around for hours trying to get on the right bus at the right time. The hotel provided free transportation to all of the Disney theme parks, but if you plan on visiting other locations beside the theme parks (such as downtown disney) you need another form of transportation like a taxi or city bus. I totally regret not renting a car. Also, a little disappointed in the restaurant/cafe inside the hotel. They were very small, didn't have alot to choose from& the food was ok, for something quick, but I wouldn't recommend to eat there for dinner. Everything was close by or walking distance. Overall, for the price, it was very worth the stay. The agent through bookit.com was very helpful. He was honest and made me feel more comfortable and confident in booking my trip."

"Great place to stay, breakfast buffet was very good and the waite staff wonderful."

"Hotel was fine, rooms are nicely laid out. It was sold out this race weekend for the marathons October 1st so when we asked for a room on the opposite side of the hotel than the 1-4 side we could not be accommodated.
I saw the recommendation online but all in all it was not too loud. Seems they could plant more or put a wall up instead of open fence to send some of the sound waves back to I-4. Staff very courteous. For the price it was a GREAT deal.."

"Nice service, We'll go again !"

" I booked four days and three nights just last week. I was so satisfied that I booked an extra night. It was very clean, a great breakfast, at an amazing cost. I definitely got my money value, and will definitely stay again. The lady that handled my reservation was very nice, she even changed my room so that I would be close to the splash pad that my six year old son loved. So thanks for the good times and service. And thanks to bookie for all your help too!"
