Absolutly a great hotel from start to finish. Fun for all ages. The water playground was beyond great! Our room faced the freeway but you cannot hear the freeway AT ALL, super nice! Parking spots are tiny but plenty of parking so not a big deal. 10/10 recommend and will only use this hotel for our next Disney adventures.
