The hotel was wonderful. The staff was super great. The only drawback was that the shuttle that was running to the park had limited hours, which was very inconvenient for us and created a lot of expense with Uber rides.

Room was nice, the staff was pleasant, shuttle doesn't run past 8:30 (maybe 9:30?), and they try to sell you a timeshare without telling you what they are doing ("go talk to that man over there to finish checkout").

8/10 Very good

The property and room were clean and comfortable. They weren’t warm and ‘special’ or homey, like we prefer. Staff were helpful and kind and professional. It just felt like an institution more than a comfy hotel. If you are not hanging around in your room much, it’s perfect. Clean and a good place to stay. I just like it to feel less “cold” and more like a little home away from home.
