Michael, Aug 2020
Pros (+) Very close to Adventureland
Cons (-) Wanted connecting rooms, they were not even next to each other. Pool closed before posted time. Did not learn that there was no breakfast until morning...while the posted times were on the wall, easily seen. Not one word at checkin

Pros (+) The price was a little better than other hotels in the area and the beds were quite comfortable.
Cons (-) The room was very small, it smelled stale like it may have been smoked in, and it was dated and worn out looking.
