The rooms are great. The bathrooms need updating and the beds are terrible but aside from that the rooms are spacious and clean and easy to walk to Disney from!

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites
Love the space we bought we also thought the place is very clean. The surprise that we experience was that there was a cost for parking. That’s just unacceptable to me. The ability to stay at a hotel should not cost an extra $150 to stay.
