I am so shocked this place had so many good reviews on Expedia. I trusted it and regretted it. My son was bit by bed bugs, beds were horrible, furniture was peeling and breaking apart, walls are thin and it just felt all around just gross. I had no choice but to stay due to getting there late after being in Disney for 14 hours.

I stayed in this hotel too many times in the past, but this time I can tell that the hotel is going down in quality. The quality of the hotel itself and the service is poor. BTW, my room is the superior double queen room. It located the in first floor, all the way in the back of the hotel. Here are a few details from my stay (Oct 2025) 1. They skipped the room service once (according to front desk, the room service is schedule one for every two days). I had to call and went to the front desk to pick up the toilet paper, they do not even deliver to my room after my call. 2. The phone in the room is broken (The wire connector is broken), I had to call the front desk to fix it.

Room was not completely clean and there were several cigarette holes in the blanket. Bathroom needs a number of repairs. I didn't have the breakfast so I can't speak on it. There was an open can of tuna on the lawn just outside the rooms looked to be left for a stray cat. The evening staff person at check-in was efficient if not that friendly, however the morning staff for checkout was very friendly with a wonderful smile.

Unfortunately, the room was not as described on the picture, everything was much older than it appeared, it was smelling terrible, and the air conditioning was making a loud noise all night long and we barely could sleep. I had previously booked for five nights, I ended up staying only one night and they refunded me the remaining four nights though.
