Our suite, a De Luxe Room was big and very spacious
and had two twin beds, just enough for a family of four.
This maybe one of the most comfortable beds that we
have slept in a hotel that we have stayed in the past.

beautiful outdoor swimming pool,
…and a whirlpool,

They also have a well equipped Gym
and I enjoyed it very very much,
...as I was able to exercise almost everyday, with no annoying gym
attendants bothering me, and the guests seem to be preoccupied
visiting the theme parks and giving them no time or leaving
them too tired, so I had the gym all for myself almost everyday.

With all WDW Theme parks just a short ride away by a free shuttle,
guests would never run out of places to play and stray within the hotel.

They have a decent spread in the buffet, although
not massive but definitely a step up from typical
continental breakfasts given it other budget hotels
Our hotel reservation did not include breakfast,
…and it was good as it gave us more flexibility to choose from
the numerous restaurants in the nearby Disney Springs.
Still, we found ourselves dining in the hotel almost
every night as we found the food very delicious
