Poor customer service
First time staying at this hotel with my family from the moment we checked in we requested a crib for our baby, and we were told that they would make sure to get us one hours and hours pass after checking in and being told that the crib was on it way after six hours and keeping a one-year-old up until midnight waiting on a crib a maid saw my husband in the hallway and told us that there was no crib ever coming because there was none available , so I felt like we were just lead on by the managers the entire time when they knew that they didn’t even have any cribs available so I then had to put my one year-old to sleep in a bed which is a major safety hazard mind you speaking to the managers they never once apologized, and they didn’t even really seem apologetic towards the situation and not to mention the AC in the room we were in not sure if it wasn’t working or it’s just not good , but the room was extremely hot even with the fan on my 5 year old was even complaining of being hot while trying to sleep . We definitely will not be returning to this hotel again.

I made the reservation and needed to modify it with 2 queen beds instead so of a king. They wouldn’t change it unless I payed an addition $400($200 per night). We get to the room and the keys don’t work so had to go back. it’s extremely hot in the room because the thermostat is broke. This is like an apartment complex so parking was horrible. If there is no parking you have to park at the parking garage which is at the front of the complex and take a trolly. Our first night there they only had 1 guy to transport. It’s the holidays so the complex was extremely packed. Customer service was sub par. They woke us up 4 times to come fix the heat and kept saying they couldn’t get in the room because we had “Do not disturb “ on the door. They were at the wrong room and I expressed that twice. Our experience could have been better. I take ownership in booking the wrong size room for 5 adults however I believe changing from 1 bed to 2 as an upgrade rather charging me for another booking would have been the right thing to do. I go to Disney 2 or 3 times of year especially around Christmas. I stayed at the Rosen Centre last year and it was wonderful.

Overall the property was very nice. Convenient food choices, pool area clean, walking path, and other entertainment available.The less than 5 stars was for the noise (5 nights)from the condo above us - started between 11pm&12am, and often lasted until after 1am. Along with that there were a few guests that allowed their dog to defecate on the stairwell one morning and it took hours before it was cleaned up. Yes, I reported it.

The property had only 1 tennis court and 1 basketball court. They said you can only book an hour and it starts as soon as you pick up the equipment, even if it's already in use. The push people to do the timeshare tour and if you refuse, they do not honour what they said they would give and harass you for an extra hour to say why it is stupid ont to sign up, after saying it would only take 90 mins
