Helpful lady at front desk, great breakfast, free no pass parking. Nice walk to Adventureland besides crossing the 4 lane. Had a bad experience at Best western the night before this so this was good enough. No elevator was annoying

Desk staff was helpful & accommodating when I asked for a room on the second floor & a quieter area. When checking out the desk staff was nice. Nice clean room but the towels could be nicer. They are too thin & need to be replaced. The room is clean & large.

I called for early arrival two days before, but when we got there, they said they didn't have it and the room wasn't ready. Breakfast was so-so, eggs were kind of cold. Otherwise a good place for a quick night where we basically only stayed to sleep.
