- 360-degree infinity pool that's actually heated properly
- Pet-friendly policy that includes a dedicated dog park
Quick Take: A sleek, circular hotel that looks cooler than it is—expect thin walls and a shuttle you shouldn't rely on, but the suites are huge.
Reviewed by @rentmpflorida: I was shocked by how much space I had here! The living room is massive, and waking up to that green nature view instead of a parking lot was such a relief. It felt like a proper home base for my Disney trip, not just a place to crash.

Cleanliness & Maintenance
7.8
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report daily perfection, others find crumbs and missed spots. Request service if skipped.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally good, though older grout and peeling paint are common complaints in non-renovated rooms.
- Maintenance: Showing its age. Expect scuffed furniture, slow drains, or the occasional broken AC unit.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality. Towels can be a bit scratchy; linens are clean but not luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Heavy use of cleaning chemicals/bleach in hallways, which masks any mustiness but can be overpowering.

5 things to know before you go
💡The hotel is circular, which can make navigating the hallways feel like a never-ending loop.
💡The 'balconies' are often just standing-room-only slivers, not full patios.
💡The bleach smell in the hallways is strong—some love the clean scent, others find it chemical.
💡You are right next to a hospital, which means occasional ambulance sirens if you're on that side.
💡The 'sofa beds' are notoriously uncomfortable with thin mattresses—ask for extra duvets to pad them.
