Stayed for a quick weekend trip. This hotel has become one of my favorites. Everything went smoothly, from check in to check out. It’s easily walkable to the Boardwalk and EPCOT or HS, but you also have boat access if you like. Even the accessibility to other resorts nearby. Lots of food options as well. The room was clean and smelled so good! The lobby is beautiful. We absolutely enjoyed every minute. We will definitely be back.
