According to most of the online booking websites, like Priceline, Hotels.com, etc... this property is a 4-Star property. It is not a 4-Star. I've stayed at nicer 3-Stars. I am a hotelier and a frequent traveler and very disappointed in the booking sites calling this a 4-Star. Half of the rooms have outdoor entries (very motel like); they allow pets... More

We went to this a couple of years back with our first child on a promotion (they sell timeshares). The place is nice and the pool is just great. So we figured we'll stay again this time. We got a place for 2 bedrooms for about $150 a night. It is very spacious, and the decor is good and very... More

I had to choose between the only 2 4star hotels within walking distance of the Disney entrance. I chose based on value and received excellent value given that the hotel exceeded my expectations. The other hotel was going to charge me more and to add insult to injury would have charged me by the minute to use the lobby internet... More

Whatever you do, do not fall for the half-off tickets at the Disney desk at this hotel!!! The representative at the Disney desk at this Sheraton lied so horribly! We approached the desk to purchase our tix to Magic Kingdom at 11am on Saturday, May 11th. The rep said that we could get 2 adult tix for $99 as opposed... More

The staff here is very welcoming and friendly, Its proximity to so many restaurants, shops and of course "the parks" was exactly what we needed. The room was clean and comfortable, the pool area is amazing. We loved the pool bar area with its wonderful food and drinks. The indoor restaurant was wonderful also. I highly recommend this hotel to... More

To be fair, they say there is a spa on the top floor (6th) which I did not get to. The 2 pools were decent but my 14yo son found the water slide to be to 'young' for him. We easily found lounge chairs by the pool on which to relax after a long day at Disney. The outdoor bar... More

We had a great 3 night stay. From check-in, to Jason & the pool staff, to the breakfast buffet, service was outstanding. In fact, the service was outstanding even before we arrived - to find a wonderful birthday surprise for our 5-yea-old twins waiting in our suite! Our kids also loved the bunkbeds, water slide and children's pool area. Pools... More
