the hotel had a great location near the parks that was very convenient the unlimited express pass was a real plus of staying here i found the pool area great it featured a dj during the day and music playing always.
the walls felt thin i could hear my neighbors showering i also heard conversations from the other side and people in the corridor customer service felt cold they did not ask about my stay upon checkout they just asked about emailing a receipt.

the location is unbeatable for visiting the theme parks. we walked to the entrance in just a few minutes. also, the unlimited express passes were a HUGE benefit, great to skip the long lines. the pool area was nice.
the room decor seemed a little dated and worn. i noticed some wear and tear on the furniture. during my stay, i could hear noise from neighboring rooms, impacting my sleep. the walls seemed very thin..
