    Here is what I am wondering. has anyone stayed here recently? what was the breakfast like? we normally eat at the hotel or in the room EXCEPT for one character breakfast. If the Continental breakfast is really good, waffles, fruit, yogurts, bagels coffee juice etc... i won't bring the little toaster over , and all the breakfast stuff for in the room. IF not. then I need to plan our breakfasts too. I tried calling the hotel, and was unimpressed with the answer. "we offer a deluxe continental breakfast" was the speil.

    That was 5 years ago, things may have changed but I doubt it.

    we got it for $49 a night. The room was HUGE ( i mean not floor show big, but very spacious ) the bed was pretty comfortable ( not westin's heavenly bed comfy. but better than a fold out couch at the MIL's )
    The bathroom counter was spacious. (good because it was also our "kitchen counter")
    Our AC worked so well... it about froze us out the first night. ( that is saying alot, we sleep with two fans in our room and the AC on.) DH ( who is HOT blooded) had to turn it down because he was cold.
    The down sides... it is about half a mile up harbor from the main gate, on the other side of the overpass. ( But Starbucks is on the way.)
    The FREE internet,,, only works in the lobby. I suppose on the first floor in the rooms near the lobby as well, but we were on the third floor.
    The towels were... not exactly soft..I was really glad I brought a towel for the DB (disney baby).
    The free breakfast was... poor coffee, weird icky room temp lemonade, and watered down orange juice, muffins ( very much on the small side) standard white or wheat bread, and bagels.
    But thanks to the breakfast review from CrazyCroc,I packed my toaster oven (salvation army, $5) and we ate like kings. Bagels and reheated leftovers.
    Thanks Croc.
    I would totally recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a clean, quiet, AFFORDABLE place to stay.
