Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
To start with the Pros: the property is dog friendly, which is nice to see, but does not concern me directly. The AC worked, the water temp and pressure were decent. It is a short distance to Adventureland. Now for the Cons: The building itself has definitely seen better days, and it has a strange layout that is marked with hand written signs. Our room had the following: the bed had stains, the wall had stains, the bed was very uncomfortable, the fitted sheet did not fit and any movement caused it to pop off, one of pur pillows was basically non-existent it's stuffing was so disintegrated, one of the wall attached nightstands was movable and tilting, the lights were a harsh white that was not comfortable at all, and there was no seating in the room beyond a molded plastic chair, the trim was falling off the front of the shower, there was no shampoo for showering and the none towels were any bigger than hand towels. The only reason I am bothering with this review is because the price was far too high for the quality of the room. I have paid far less for far nicer rooms. If the price was more in line with the quality of the room and the building, I would be more forgiving. I imagine the proximity to the theme park is why they charge what they do.

A very good stay. Hotel was recently updated and comfortable. Bot ice machines were malfunctioning during our stay, but staff made ice available on request to help alleviate the inconvenience. Great hotel for the price and we will be returning here next year!
