Family friendly and affordable. Its walking distance to Adventureland. Their breakfast bar was wonderful. We usually struggle with breakfasts hotels because of our picky eaters. Our kids enjoyed making their own yogurt parfait and ate every last drop. Our room was CLEAN, modern and spacious. We enjoyed our view to the park from our room. We plan on going back & have already raved our stay to the staff before leaving and letting our friends know about this BW.

Dated design but well kept. Budget friendly. Unfortunately the room we had was extremely humid. All of our bed linens felt so damp they were uncomfortable to lay in. The breakfast had great options, it was small and crowded on a Monday morning. And the server had a hard time keeping up on stocking it. Our room was nice with a hideaway bed.

We went for a family trip to Adventureland, I would stay there again if going back to Adventureland it was super convenient, the breakfast was good. The room was small not much room to walk past the tv stand and it was hot in the room although the ac was turned to 61. Kids loved the pool. Overall not horrible not the best but for the convenience of being able to walk right next door and not pay extra for parking at Adventureland it was worth it.

We were the last people to check in at midnight as we had been at Eric Church concert. Our air conditioner wasn't working. It was 105 heat index out that day. We called front desk. She came up to look at it. Said she would need maintenance to Look at it. At this time it’s 1am. There were no other rooms to move too. She won’t comp our room. At this point we are tired and want to sleep. At 1:30 am “they” are knocking on our door. We didn’t open it. They proceeded to call our room several times, and again we are exhausted and don’t pick up the phone. This room was $209.00…… We were thankful to have a bed and a shower…. They could have atleast comped our room or given us a free night for future stays. Nothing
