Grand Legacy At the Park

6/10 Okay
"The main attraction of this stay is the proximity to Disney main entrance which you can’t beat. It’s no frills, motel style accommodations. But a steal for what other hotel/motels were charging. Overall it was great for what we needed but guests should not expect anything more than location."
