Tiffany was extremely accomodating. This hotel is near the less frequented WEST GATE of the park, which means a lot less options for everything. Only because of Tiffany's help throughout our trip would I say this was a 5 star experience. 4 stars mostly because the nearby restaurant is very local and might not be suitable for Western families with toddlers, like ours.
