Excellent hotel near parks
amazing locationclean roomtransportation perk
I enjoyed the hotel location. The hotel had nice decorations. I found very comfortable beds and a clean room. The staff members showed professional service and kindness. Transportation via boat and bus to the parks was a great perk I use, also early entry.
I found a squashed bug on the comforter. I tried to contact the hotel via the app, but I received no response.

mediocre stay. housekeeping issues
housekeeping intrusionfront desk access
a housekeeper tried to enter my room at 6pm. i was resting and she seemed unaware i was there. she knocked three times, and by the time i reached the door, she was already stepping inside. she didn't speak english. she gestured about switching the luggage rack with the one from the room next door. it felt odd that she was there so late and thought it acceptable to just enter my room whenever she wanted. i felt quite disappointed this happened at such a supposedly high-end hotel, i couldn't even reach the front desk to report it.

the bus now drops you off at ttc instead of right at magic kingdom. the front desk staff had no idea about alternate amenity for elite members with wifi as part of the resort fee. i found the enhanced wifi nothing special.
