We appreciated the convenience to holiday world after a long day but the pool area was not in very good shape and breakfast had minimal offerings. We would likely drive the few more miles to a more modern hotel next time.

Nice convenient spot. Hot water could be better and ac unit worked and was fine but would kick on and off before room reached desired temperature. Love the lobby decorations and indoor pool plus hot tub. Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean. I’ll stay again.

I was with a group, so didn’t do activities. Front desk was extremely kind and helpful. My breakfast was good. I saw many people enjoying making waffles. It’s definitely a family-friendly place. Because there’s no elevator in the building we were in, I requested a 1st floor room, and it was great, and convenient.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room advertised fridge, did not have it. Put on second floor with no elevator. Room was very small, dark and dirty. Power outlets on clock next to the bed did not work so charging devices were difficult.. Staff seemed ambivalent to any of our concerns Pricing for what you received was way over what it should have been.

Liked: Cleanliness
This was probably a fun, quirky place once, but it doesn’t look like there’s been much real upkeep in a while. The room was clean enough, but nothing exceptional. Breakfast was not very exciting either. There’s biscuits and gravy, but that’s not sausage gravy, just gravy. If you just want a place to stay, it’s perfectly adequate, but nothing special.
