Clean, spacious, and walking distance to Disney

Stayed here for two nights whilst visiting Disney, and really couldn't knock it for the price. Location was within walking distance of Disney (approximately a 15 minutes brisk walk). Car parking was spacious and free, which was one of the reasons we booked this hotel. You could even see the Disney fireworks going off towards the back of the hotel. Whilst the hotel is located off a busy road, the rooms are far enough away from the road so that you are not disturbed by the road noise. Check in was quick, simple and hassle-free. The receptionist even gave us an extra hour to check out slightly later than the advertised time. Room was very spacious and also clean. Toiletries (although limited) were restocked daily with the housekeeping. Bed comfortable enough, large sink area outside of the bathroom, and a decent sized fridge. Air con worked well, but as with most motels/hotels like this, it was a little noisy. Typical of the style of air con unit they fit, but it was efficient at cooling the room. Only minor criticism was that there was no safe in the room, but thats also not unusual either. Definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Disney, as it's close enough to walk there, but far enough away from all of the hustle and bustle around the parks to ensure you have a good night's sleep.

This motel was very nice. The front end staff was a little rude at first but everyone else was great. It was quiet had alot of charging ports and it was very clean. There was all sorts of good shopping around and it was easy to get to.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and seemed to be somewhat updated, though not for comfort. All surfaces were pretty uncomfortable. The room did have a smell. Walls are very thin; we could hear neighbors singing and talking. Parking is limited and fairly compact. Check-in process was quick and smooth.

They were very friendly and overall the room was clean. The only issue I had was the towles did not look clean and they were rough and the pillows were very flat. I had to go buy pillows so I could sleep comfortably. I would stay again but I hope they get better towels and pillows.

DO NOT STAY HERE -only gave us one key. When we asked for another, they said no, (these were plastic printed keycards). -refused to give extra towels -absurdly tiny TV and a horribly -outdated bathroom with a wobbly toilet that needed to be flushed 3-4 times -The bathtub was stained and dirty with an old dirty rubber grip mat for laying on the bottom of the tub. -weird metal barrier around bottom of bed that made a loud clang every time you touched it. -dirty tile floors made our feet black -when my stepson performing at Cali Roots stopped by to take shower before gig, manager knocked on door three separate times over 30 minute time period. Falsely accused of staying there. -when asked again for another set of towels the unhinged manager told us to ‘get the f*** out’ -we demanded a refund for the remaining night - We returned to shower and pack up before check out. -manager barged into room without knocking while my wife was naked getting out of the shower. -after throwing him out of the room he demanded to do a room inspection. -he became so irate and hostile he was yelling at the top of his lungs. All the guests came out of their rooms. Everyone was nervous and on edge. -we almost called the police on him. Was worried he was going to turn violent or get a gun -DO NOT STAY AT Discovery Inn. We left there traumatized by the whole experience. The people that run it are shady, rude, unprofessional and downright hostile. I wish I could give zero stars
