Way overpriced for the money

Lack of signage made it difficult to find check-in. They give various names to same location making it difficult to figure out. We met numerous others who had same complaint. Water damage to bathroom door was incredible. Door doesn't fit space and over years has sopped up water resulting in hideous bottom of door. Would be simple to fix. No jacuzzi, food establishments close at 8 & 9pm.

Still the place to stay, but going downhill

I've been staying here for years and it's been fine. The kind of rundown nature of the place gives it charm. But this time the place seemed a little more run down than usual. The only cups in my room were so dirty I couldn't get the coffee flavor out of them when I tried washing them myself. The stains in the hallway carpet look neglected. The new wifi system constantly disconnects you and is hard to log back into. There are lots of little things.... Mind you, this is the only option unless you want to spend more than twice as much, and this place is already a bit overpriced. Stay here. But don't get your hopes up. Also, this was my first time driving an EV into the park. The EV chargers here are nearly impossible to activate without help and are slow, level 2 chargers, so you can't really rely on them to get around this seriously large park.

I would recommend this place anytime. Love the surroundings and convenience and the great wifi. It’s more like the center of the park. Very easy to go to see different sites and go back to the room rest. Love it!

Worst hotel experience ever

AWFUL rooms. They’re dark, dingy, and dirty. The beds didn’t even have fitted sheets on them, but a regular sheet tucked into the mattresses instead. There was hair in the shower, and urine stains on the toilet. I will never stay at this property again. I felt bad for the workers: most were sweet, but clearly they’re overworked and undercompensated. This property’s rates are WAY too high to justify the conditions of the rooms and the moods of the staff.
