This hotel has been perfect for us. My wife and I are traveling with our 26 year old daughter, reliving some of her childhood memories. But none of us are children and we needed a true suite--one with a large separate room with a hideaway sofa. We got this hotel for roughly $200 per night. Any of the Disney 1BR villas would have cost me at least $550 per night, even with the fall discount. And at this hotel you still get the Extra Magic Hours and can get your Fastpass+ sixty days in advance.
Are there any downsides? Well, I'm told the buses are a little slower than the Disney resort buses. Each one picks up at 5 hotels and drops off at 2 parks. But you know what? I spent about $50 per day of that money I saved on the room and got Ubers or Lyfts for every park trip. That's door to door. It made for a luxurious trip. And our window overlooks the interstate and another local highway. But for this price and this convenience, I don't care.
Staff is great, pool is very nice (the patio does have some loose stones). Room is clean and relatively new looking. Restaurant is not open for lunch, but they serve food poolside.
They have been sold out here for two nights and we barely notice anyone. We just Uber back and forth to parks and stay in our very spacious suite for $200.
I'm not quite sure how you could beat it.
Oh, and you can walk to Disney Springs in 15 minutes, plus you get free cookies every day.
