I do not see the different staying in Disney with hotel outside. It is difficult to reserve for dinner here. The menu is not very good. and unless you do valet parking, if you park the car from yourself, it is difficult to get the help from the staff. It is not worth to stay in Disney,

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.

very nice hotel. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the diner restaurant. Water bottles were nice to have in each room. The shuttle bus was suppose to be there at 6:45 and did not arrive until 7:05. This made it difficult to fully utilize the early 1/2 hour in the park

The property is dated and the rooms need refurbishment. They only have one bus to the parks and it takes forever. The walk to Epcot was why we stayed there. Would rather stay at a Pop Century or one of the other gondola resorts.

The lock on our door was broken. We got locked both in and out of the room at points. I brought it to the front desks attention, and they sent someone with a key fob to let us in, but she realized it was our inability to use the card, but the lock was indeed not function and was going to call for maintenance. This was 11:45 at night. I asked her to wait til morning as we needed to sleep. She said what would be a good time? I said after 7am. Maintenance showed up at 12:15am. And for 15 minutes had the door hanging open and was loudly fiddling with the lock trying to coat all the internal mechanisms with WD-40. It was fixed. But that was jarring and unnecessary at that late hour. But that is honestly my only complaint. Everything else about the stay was lovely.
