Worth it.

Very pleasant hotel. I only had 2 gripes. 1.) the doors wouldn't close inside the room. The closet door and bathroom door. But they seemed to be doing renovation so I didn't really think to much about it. And 2.) the guest shop attendant was giving me red flags when I was asking about prices like she was heckling with me. Other than that it was very pleasant. The cafe they have there is amazing and the hotel was clean. Front desk guy was really nice. And you could see they were taking care of the hotel like painting and fixing things. Price was great and I would definitely stay here again. Wasn't there for the theme parks but it was really close to them too.
