Front desk staff was horrible. One guy didn’t want to help with anything and told us wrong information. He huffed and puffed when we asked for towels because he had to sit his phone down. Other questions he would just say “ask my coworker.” They were extremely rude and unhelpful. The room was big, but old.

Our family went on a beach & Disney trip and this place was amazing for the price. It offered hot breakfast daily and even though it was the same thing daily ( hashbrowns, possibly powdered scrambled eggs, sausages, and pancakes) the kiddos loved it and one less meal I had to buy. FYI they make the plates up and you need a ticket. When we asked for extra sausages they gave us 1 or 2 so it’s pretty much a set menu. In my opinion… still worth it. The building is obviously older but the grounds are well kept and they seem to upgrading the rooms little steps at a time. The bathrooms were probably the most dated part of the room. My husband and I felt the beds were hard and uncomfortable to sleep on but the kiddos were comfortable. The refrigerator and microwave were clean and definitely came in handy. I loved the free parking but if you want to do a wash, it’s $10 for do it yourself wash and dry.

Room had a living room area. I don't think they had any security but the whole hotel was fence out. so i guess it was pretty safe. For how big the hotel is i don't think they have enough parking for guest.
