    Not impressed at all. Room is dated, rough, and smells of stale old cigarette smoke. For the price, there are nicer, newer, and better maintained hotels in this area. Live and learn.

    Seriously needs some room updates! Only good thing is it's in walking distance of Epcot.

    Confused about the "dolphin" statues? They're not mammalian dolphins. They're stylized versions of nautical dolphins.

    Stayed here for 2 days as an SPG Gold member. Payed a premium for an Epcot view with balcony and was given a room on the lowest floor, a very far walk, and very weak AC. I suggest you stay elsewhere.

    Already had to switch rooms twice! (First smelled like mildew and the previous people's food was still inside of the trash can, and the second's closet door was busted and fridge was broken)

    Go past the main entrance and past the self parking entrance and park in the "cast member" parking for free, noone monitors it

    The hotel complex has awful internet service for large conferences. When the masses began arriving the speed went from tolorable to waiting 20 minutes or more for an outbound email to upload.

    Billing si a total mess! Each room has a different deposit from 100 dollars to 900. Why ? If each room is the same?

    showing your AAA card at the restaurants in the hotel gets you 20% off your check.

    So this is not a Disney property. It's SPG on Disney property.

    Self park is $15 and further away, valet is only $20. Why wouldn't you choose valet??

    While you're here, stop at Mandara Spa for a massage. I hear Carlito's one of the best;).

    The hotel shows its age, even in the premium rooms. And the gym was a definate after thought. Only good thing is the pool and Big Buck hunter.

    Old and run down rooms. Felt dirty. Mattress ripped. $16/night parking. $23/day resort fees. Stay somewhere else where paying resort fees and parking are worth it.

    Check in later in the evening, for a single night and ask for an upgrade. 10099 is a premium room next to the fountain running down the side of the hotel.

    The balcony view is very disappointing. It costs extra for a spectacular view of a palm tree smack dab in your face. FAIL!
