there is no wifi in rooms as promised so you had to go down to the lobby to have internet access. the microwave is on the first floor so anytime we had to warm something up we had to go all the way downstairs. there was 28 missing ceiling tiles in the main part of the hotel. Hotel doors were screwed shut and things were out to date: furniture, colors, fixtures, etc. There was a nice flat screen tv in the room. There were only 7 cars in the parking lot. The indoor pool and hot tub were okay but to get to the outdoor pool you had to walk out in to the parking lot and it wasn't very secure. Complained to hotel staff about not receiving shampoo/conditioner/etc and never received them as promised.
Watch and enjoy an animals and marine life. Visited seafood restoring. Swim in a pool. Enjoy the sunshine.

Great location!
I've stayed here numerous times and will stay again. It's clean, well priced and right around the corner from all Disney attractions. However, they are undergoing some management changes, so the pool heater wasn't working, restaurant wasn't open, etc. If you're picky about these things, you may be disappointed. I, personally, don't go to Orlando to hang out in my hotel anyway so a clean, convenient, well priced and safe place to lay my head at night is fine by me!!

Weekend in Orlando
Staff at the desk were quick and efficient, and the price was right. close to everything.
Problem is the place is really worn down, spa was not working, no microwave in the room as advertised, had to tip the fridge to open the door in the cabinet and the black mold was everywhere, walls, ceiling tiles etc.
i had stayed here 13 years ago and the place was nice but they obviously haven't done any maintenance since then

Don't waste your money!!!!!
This hotel has gone down really bad. They advertise free WI FI but they have turned it off. The bar is now shut down. The owner lives in Mexico and will not repair the hotel. Parking lot has pot holes , no landscaping. There are rooms with no door handles , some with a piece of wood over the hole. I've been going to this hotel for over two years, I knew something was happening when I would pay 100 dollars to stay there now it's 30.00 plus a night. It isn't busy like it use to be at all. The chlorine in the pool and hot tub will just about knock you out.
The room was very old and outdated. It smelled so bad we couldn't continue our stay. The carpet was very stained and there were water spots from roof leaking all over the walls etc.
Staff was nice.
The hotel seemed to be in a nice, quiet location with restaurants, gift shops, and gas stations nearby. The staff member at check-in seemed nice enough. However, the staff during check-out was no where to be found. We waited for 5-10 minutes for someone to come to the desk so that we could check out of the room and no one ever came. The hotel room was dirty and out dated and there was no internet offered.
We did not stay. We checked in, went to our room, went to the front desk and checked out. The place was nasty, the people that were staying there were very questionable. Not a place I would ever recommend to anyone. I do not think this hotel should be on your site for people to stay at.

Ok for a night stay.
The price was great. The hotel smelled weird and upon inspection seemed to be falling apart, from the rusted ceiling tiles to the dirty carpets that look as if they've been there since the hotel was built. Sheets and towels were clean, no evidence of bed bugs. Hotel service was barely existent. First impression was not good the hotel seemed deserted.
A/C was too cold and thermostat was non operative. No 'do not disturb' sign in room - cleaning staff starts knocking at 8AM, Single cup coffee maker broken. TV remote needed batteries. Carpet looked like it had been flooded recently (was dry - just looked stained). Pool (indoor) water felt weird (oily ??). Staff were having a bad day / week / month. Street sign is not lit making it hard to find at night.
Not a place I would choose again. Our room faced an indoor swimmingpool area that wasn't very inviting. So no natural light. The children beds were in poor Condition. The tap in the bathroom Was constantly running. Didn't match their enviromental ideas. Ex. They only clean rooms three times a weekend. Friendly staff though.

Cheap but old hotel
The hotel was very old, and it showed: our air condition barely worked and the curtains were falling off of the window. The hotel also has no amenities: restaurant was closed, bar was closed, and the Internet was down so we didn't even have that. But, overall, for the price we paid, it was what we would've expected.
Hotel is old and dirty. Pool looked like it had algae. The only thing that looked clean in this hotel was the bed. There is no microwave and no shuttles to the airport. There are shuttles to Disney for about $2 a person. No breakfast. The room was very cheap at $53 per night.
everything was great & the staff was very friendly

Good location
The hotel is in a perfect location near the parks. It's a good value for the price. Swimming pool and spa a bit dirty. Rooms are not really clean but the bed is comfort. I would stay there again if I only need a place to crash.
I felt like an inconvenience that I stayed there. From walking in and the clerk having to come out to check us in, she offered no details about the hotel, was put out by me asking any questions. I still have no idea if they offered breakfast of anything with the stay. Everything looked closed and we paid $5 a night mandatory extra for the closed things. The pool was ICE cold and dirty. Everything about the place was dirty. Especially the dirty towel left hanging in the bathroom. We had to ask 3 times for pool towels thinking we were going to use the pool, but after 2 hours gave up and just went back upstairs. The floors were gross and the room was musty. If we were not planning on only being there from 2 am - 9 am, we would have left like other people did while we were there.
It was horrible. I receive a call two hours before check in saying the hotel was shutting down due to power being turned off. Got there and was told that they had some employees that were fired the previous day and they were calling people to cause problems. The indoor heated pool was broken. The ice machines were broken. The enternet was down throughout the hotel. One of there two elevators was not working. I don't drink but both of there bars were closed down.
Room was very nice for the price. Hotel staff was friendly and very helpful. Grandkids loved the indoor pool! Area felt safe and lots of places to eat near by.

Needs more employees
Room was good, had some damage as if someone spilled a drink and it wasn't cleaned... Pool/eatting area seemed to be damaged, pool and jacuzzi was nice... Seemed to be really nice at one point but now it's worn down, most of the rooms arent in us due to construction of some sort, and smells weird and made
My clothes smell like it... Good location, only have one employee running the front desk, all very nice, but need more to keep up with everything and hotel needs to be just cleaned up
This hotels location was perfect. Just a few minutes from Disney and not too far from all other Orlando attractions. This hotel looks a lot nicer than it actually is. The room wasn't too bad, great ac, fairly clean but with a barely acceptable level of coziness. The hotel was a little frightening, broken door handles throughout the entire top floor, cracked tiles, and very confusing map. The pool area was interesting. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't stay here again, unless I was desperate

Literally on the edge of Disney, westgate. Perfect location for this. We were out of Disney and at hotel within 2minutes.
Hotel isn't new, looks like it was an old ramada. But it's ok as a base, had a nice indoor pool, bar open fri and sat night.
IHOP, Bob Evans, steakhouse, McDonald's, Golden Corral all within 5 minute walk of hotel.
Plenty of parking space (late August).
This is not a UK 3 star hotel, but what you pay for the rooms I see know reason to complain.
