Guests appreciate the spacious and well-appointed rooms, which include amenities like coffee makers and large TVs; the fridge is handy, although some suggest bringing your own coffee pods for better quality.

Excellent stay near the parks

boat servicepretty routegeneric coffee
The boat service to the parks was a great convenience. The route was very pretty. The split bathroom was quite useful. The shower and toilet were in separate spaces. This setup allowed simultaneous use of the sink area.
I did not love that the in-room coffee was very generic. The coffee shop downstairs, however, provided a great cup of joe.

The daily room service was acceptable and ensured the room was clean each day.
The room size was smaller than expected for a standard room. the bathroom door was a barn door and did not fully close. This provided very little privacy when using the toilet or showering. The lack of a coffee machine in the room was disappointing too.
