now, things may have changed since i went here (in fact, they likely will) as my last visit was three years ago. i cam here aged 12-13 with my family to visit Orlando for the first time. this was a wonderful hotel for a first-time american tourist as it gives great views from the higher floors and the lower floors towards the wet 'n' wild side still have pretty good views. it is well positioned in terms of amenities with there being a go-cart track directly next door, as well as a fine selection of restaurants. its car park is reasonably sized, mostly always allowing us a parking space, and the hotel served good food in the mornings (maybe in the afternoons as well, i cannot remember now).

should i have the chance, i would consider visiting this hotel again. one thing i remember from this trip were its selection of three swimming pools - an outdoor (cold for america), indoor (British hot tub temperatures) and a hot tub (like a kettle for people). i remember going with my dad from the outside, to the inside, to the hot tub, and then instantly back to the outside to see how cold it felt. :-)

another point is that my room had a balcony with patio furniture (which was great for drying clothes). i only remember this as we had to bring in the furniture for hurricane sandy.

anyway, enough of me reminiscing on the good old days, when i wasn't bogged down by exams and college applications, as i said, i would definitely recommend this hotel if your looking for a hotel on a budget and want a reasonable view. :-)
