"1 1/2 miles west of WDW, this welcoming hotel is a good choice for the budget-conscious vacationer. The rooms are nicely decorated and sport a modern, upscale look, but are a bit on the small side."

"You can't pick a more dreamily convenient Disney hotel—it's a single monorail stop away from the Magic Kingdom, and four from Epcot."

Don't miss the dingin at Citricos or Victoria & Albert's (one of the best restaurants in Florida) and take advantage of the hotel's proximity to Disney's Magic Kingdom.

Gayot
"The splendor of Florida's high society, resort living of the early 1900s recalls the atmosphere of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel."
The Telegraph
