"The hotel is located within 10 to 15 minute east walk to Downtown Disney. The facilities were older but well maintained and clean. There was a well balanced breakfast buffet that was served from 6 am to 9 am, which we enjoyed. Overall, the place was good place to stay while visiting the Disney parks. Self parking is available with in and out privileges and the pool area landscaping was full of well shaped animal hedges. We would stay there again."
