Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely two-night stay in the Garden Wing rooms, where the atmosphere was impressively quiet, free from park noise and firework disturbances. The room was very clean and comfortable, although I found the large sinks a bit cumbersome for personal items. While it was a bit of a walk to the main building, it wasn't an issue since we didn't have kids with us. Overall, a nice experience but the lack of storage in the bathroom was something to note.
Our stay at the Contemporary was delightful, with a fresh and modern decor in our room and a convenient location near the Magic Kingdom. The staff were incredibly helpful, enhancing our overall experience. However, we did encounter an issue with the shower flooding, which was a bit frustrating. The pool was fine, but not a highlight for us as we were more focused on park activities.
We had a mixed experience at the resort. The location is unbeatable for trips to the Magic Kingdom, and the rooms were very spacious and suited our family's needs perfectly. However, the service left much to be desired, with some misinformation from the front desk and housekeeping that didn't meet our expectations. Overall, it’s a great family option, but just be cautious about the service aspects.
We recently stayed at this resort, and it was undoubtedly a mix of positives and a few concerns. The close proximity to Magic Kingdom was a major highlight, allowing us easy access to the park. The room had its charm, especially with a beautiful view, but it felt small for the price we paid. While the service was attentive, we noted some inconsistencies during our stay, particularly with housekeeping. Overall, it's a lovely place, but a bit more attention to detail could enhance the experience.
The hotel initially seemed promising with a great balcony view of the fireworks, but ultimately fell short in cleanliness and service. While the location is convenient with fast monorail access, I struggled with poor room conditions and dining experiences that didn't meet expectations. I was relieved to find a better option elsewhere, especially after discovering noise issues at this hotel. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some high points but significant drawbacks.
