What you don't experience is the kind care of the folks who work here. Let's start with CLEAN! Lots of surfaces, lots of wood, and it is all clean and so well maintained. Friendly: the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Always available if you need to call the lift or have a question. Rooms are all furnished with an individual style. Breakfast was great! Just let them know when you think you will head to the dining room and then you order off the menu. Everything we had was great and prepared just for us. My husband was particularly fond of the grits, ordering a double portion once he had tried them! Ip really enjoyed the Cinnamon Toast with Blueberry preserves. Location:Um, did I mention it is right in the midst of Winter Garden? Great spot for walking about and exploring. I also enjoyed grabbing a cup of coffee before breakfast and sitting out front near the Winter Garden fountain, so peaceful. They also have a designated parking lot next to the Inn for cars with tags (which you get a checkin). Highly recommend this spot. If you are put off by having separate hot and cold faucets, maybe pass this up, but if you want an experience and a great stay, definitely check it out and check in!

I would highly recommend this as a place to stay or a place to have a small event. It is absolutely gorgeous!

Not sure how I missed submitting this, but this was a terrible experience all around. We are have…read morestayed at other Springhill Suite before and after and they are much nicer. First, the good: proximity to Disney, and wish I his name, but the front checkin guy. This was March 18 in the late evening. He knew something wasn't right and was very nice. That where this ends, as the manager while decent, made excuses the whole time until called on all through proof and screen shots. The bad: 1 - We arrived at the resort after receiving confirmation that we were checked in (as shown in my screenshots), only to be told we didn't have a room. They claimed my card had been declined -- despite the confirmed check-in, which they themselves admitted didn't make sense. I immediately checked with Bank of America, and there was absolutely no record of any attempted charge. They also said they hadn't called us because there was no phone number on file -- which was false, as my confirmed check-in and app both had my contact info. Instead, they sent an email... while I was at Disney, not checking emails, since I had confirmed online check-in and had even called the resort that morning. At that time I was told then that our room wasn't ready yet and to come after the park. When they re-ran the charge, it went through instantly -- which didn't surprise me at all, since I've never had payment issues- and if declined because of concern of fraud, my bank contacts me right away via text. 2- They checked their other hotels, then called some in the area, said there were none available. They messed up and were about to tell us they were out of luck. They somehow found a room and put us in it. After all that happened, this was another hour and it was late. 3- Arrived to room, knew how this somehow became available- it was dirty. I am sure others declined and we were out of luck with no options. We found a bug, we found blood stains on the sheets, and the bathroom was not clean- just overall dirty. We laid towels down over all, then checked out. We didn't take advantage of any amenities, including breakfast, as we just wanted out and to enjoy our remaining time at another resort. 4-When leaving, we had a tag on our call for not paying for parking, which we never were asked about- through the chaos they forgot I guess. We told them this, then I also had a charge for this the next day. Love Marriot, but this is not that quality at all- rooms, service, all.

We are big fans of the Marriott company and stay at Marriott properties whenever we can…read more We chose this hotel because of its location and we had stayed at Springhill Suites before and had a good experience. This hotel is ok, a bit below what we had experienced at other Springhill Suites. First, to be clear, this is a budget-friendly and family-friendly hotel. Probably its best features are its proximity to Disney World and the free shuttle they have to Disney. Thus, it is not a luxury hotel so expectations have to be tamped down a bit. Best features: -staff was very friendly and helpful -free breakfast, which is not gourmet but it is decent -free parking if you have car -free shuttle to Disney -prices that are MUCH cheaper than if you stayed at a Disney hotel or one on the property -nice pool with hot tub -room appeared clean and did not smell Not-so-good features; -our room was tiny for 3 people. The workspace was small. It is much smaller than the room with 2 queen bess that we had in Bellingham WA for example. -the fan does not turn off. It goes 24/7 which actually is good because it drowns out the highway noise. -the thermostat does not respond. You put at 85, you put it at 75, you put it at 65, and you get same cold air that blows constantly and you can't turn off. I got up in the middle of the night to get a blanket. -beds are firm, I like softer -pillows are of the cheap variety -taxi drive from Orlando airport is $100 with tip -my Titanium status got me nothing at this property, no room upgrade or any of the things I am supposed to get except late checkout, and that was a disappointment. Overall, it is probably is worth staying here if you are going to Disney, but otherwise I would choose something a bit nicer.

Although they set a…read morepretty high bar the first time when we were upgraded to a balcony room overlooking the bay and got fireworks and singing. Still this visit was very nice - (another room upgrade) - with views of the poolside. The ferry to Universal Orlando City Walk is super convenient as is the express pass that gives you 1 hour early access to the 2 connected parks and access to all the rides with express lanes. (Note: The express pass does NOT work for Universal Epic and it does NOT work for the new Hagrid Ride). Our friends stayed at Loews Royal Pacific which I understood to be a more family friendly hotel. The service and amenities were all great. Although minus 1 star for the (lower) water pressure.

Pros: Friendly guest services…read more Convenient transport to/from Universal Studios Cons: 1. When we first checked into the room there were cookie and food crumbs all over the floor. Called down to let them know and at first they said there wasn't any housekeeping that was on staff. We said we saw housekeepers by the elevator and in the lobby. We were also willing to vacuum it ourselves or move rooms. Then she said she'd send someone (who arrived 10min later and thankfully took care of it). 2. Also, When we initially reserved our room we told them it was our daughter's birthday so would like something in the room. When we checked in nothing had been acknowledged or prepared. We asked about it and the front desk said they saw the note (awkward pause). We asked if something could be left in the room and she took out an order form for me to pick items. We chose cheese platter and ballon's which totaled $50+. She said we didn't need to be in the room (go to park normally) and they leave it in the room. Day after day nothing even after repeatedly reminding them. On day 4 out of our 5night stay they left a chocolate cupcake and a couple of strawberries. We called to let them know that's not what we ordered. The next day we got the cheese plate (pictured). It was left out all day (despite us having a refrigerator in the room) so when we got back to the room that night it was hot. Not sure how food safe that was. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle. We could've done better just going to the grocery store.

Alright. This is an update from my review one year ago…read more.. Myself +3 returned to Mission Inn for another shot due to the potential we witnessed the previous year. The first thing noticed was all the friendly familiar faces that we met last year...that says a lot about management. They remembered us and the infamous "Milkgate" scandal (Last year's review). I cannot give the staff...and I mean everyone...front desk, bellhop, servers, bartenders, golf course employees...etc. enough praise as all were outstanding. Rooms were clean, no issues. Food at the restaurant and The Grove (glad they changed the name) was good and the beer was cold. The breakfast buffet was a great start to the day. Excellent outdoor seating at the restaurant. The courses were cunningly beautiful with plenty of wildlife. This was a magnificent experience with my friends...and yes...they had plenty of milk! See you next year!

We also dined at Roaring Fork last night and I had a great Mediterranean salad with chicken. After eating at roaring Fork, we went out to gyser point for some late refreshments and snacks, which I will be doing a separate review for those. The cast members to mention are Josh the chef, Anna the server from geyser point, and Josh the bartender from Geyser Point. The hotel grounds around the property are serene and have a calming quality. 10/10 Definitely recommend this stay cation

The pool was great, very well staffed, though one of the hot tubs was not working throughout our trip which was a bummer. The quick service option was great, had plenty of options. The building itself was beautiful, especially the lobby. Transportation to all 4 of the parks was quick and easy, I never felt like I had to walk excessively far to our resorts bus stops. Although the resort itself was large, the bus stop seemed very central and we never had to wait for an elevator. Nor did we have to wait to get a table/pool chair. My main complaint with the resort was the noise level - they pipe in very loud music every night around 9 p.m. for about 10 minutes, which was awful if you're a light sleeper and wanting to get up early the next day. You can also hear the Magic Kingdom fireworks every night from the resort, but that's to be expected if you're staying in a MK area resort and I didn't find it to be disruptive. Overall, I could definitely see myself coming back to the Wilderness Lodge, the resort was incredible besides the music every night (which is really very minor considering it only went on for about 10 minutes a day). It's a great option if you're planning to spend a lot of time at Magic Kingdom.
