The hotel was very clean, convenient, and the amenities were nice. The pool was so nice and their cafe on site was also nice. My only qualm is I wish there was a microwave in the rooms. Great stay especially given the price!

25-min walk to City Walk. With just a 1- night stay, my wife and I checked in early, spent 5 hours at the park, then had the whole next day to spend at the park as well. Clean, nicely managed, great front desk staff. All staff were friendly.
