"The room with the balcony was absolutely beautiful. Spacious and super clean! It was also very quiet which made for peaceful nights of sleep. Fuego was a great place to spend for happy hour and dinner. Great service from the bartenders even though there were so many customers. One suggestion I have would be to have a free coffee station set up in the lobby for hotel guests - especially for when people have to check out prior to Fuego opening at 7am. All in all, it was a great stay and the hotel is located in a great location. Hope to be back again one day !"

"Clean room and nicely designed with modern vibes my boyfriends super picky about hotels and he loved this place. The storm troopers, LEGO figure wall, and the random artwork everywhere was just the cherry on top. Almost Everytime we used the rooftop pool it was empty! The bartenders made us some strong delicious drinks and helped me celebrate my birthday. Can’t speak on the food here because we didn’t try the restaurants, but we did stop at Melody’s cafe almost twice a day for a coffee, redbull or little snack before we walked a very manageable walk to Disney. The uber to Disney was also 10$ which we both thought was very fair, especially if you rope trope and decide to go back and take a nap halfway through your day. Would love to stay here again if it ever aligns that way."
