I FOUND OFF SITE HOTELS TRY HARDER TO PLEASE AND WILL ADJUST YOUR BILL IF THINGS AREN'T WHAT YOU EXPECTED!!!
WE spent 10 miserable days at the All Stars!! We checked in at 4:00pm.
There wasn't even a luggage cart to take our bags to the room.Which was on the Parking lot side that was shared by another All Stars, so we were constantly getting their themeing,not our carefully chosen themeing.
FIRST thing in the room,the carpets were WET!! We got there just in time for room shampooing. We called to complain,NO ROOM CHANGE!!! WE were to turn the air conditioning on to 40 degree to dry it!! After 3 days the carpet in front of the bathroom was still wet and starting to STINK we called,NO ROOM CHANGE,somehow while we were at the park the dryed the carpet and Deoderized it.
THE Wall paper in the bathroom had men on it staring at you while you tryed to do your business,there was one partuclar Learing pervert that really BOTHERED me!!
The beds are really High and the sheets don't stay on the mattresses by morning there was exposed mattess at our heads and feet,yeakyyyy. WE called to complain and found out they don't change the sheets daily,we requested that they change ours daily,they didn't the same black spots stayed there all weekend.
Getting sleep was patchy,due to sorers in our family[at HIFS there was a door on the master bedroom!!]
The only Adjustment we got was a refigerator that a gallon of milk wouldn't fit in!! [WE had to keep the milk iced in our calapsible cooler!]It took 3 days for the frige to get cold enough to get a coke cold enough to drink.
And for this I paid through the nose,cuz our dates were in PEAK SEASON[chosen to disrupt DD schooling as little as possable]I paid $104. a night.
OUR first night was at the cheapest RED ROOF I could find. $65. It had room on an inside corridor. And was DIRECTLY across from a Universal Enterance!! They were checking in a bus of girls but the manager came to the desk to check me in so there was no wait,they apploigized that there weren't any luggage carts available but 2 employees came out to help get the bags to the 3rd floor thru a side entrance right by the elevator!! We spent a very comfertable night!! And DD was Pleased to start our trip watching the Disney channel on the TV.
OUR next four nights were spent at the Holiday Inn Family Suites. Our oldest daughter and grandbaby joined us.
THEY arrived by Tiffany Towncar what a wonderful service!!! It came back 4 days later to return them to the Airport!! The Driver was Freindly and took charge of the luggage!
Making the count 4 adults and 13 mo.old. The crib was a real small crib not a play pen!! Service to the room was a little slow but we just called well in advance of the needed service pillows,coffee that sort of thing.
The Suite was a KID suite w/Disney theming[I found it much better than ALL STARS]
THE master bedroom had a huge king size bed!,TV,ceiling fan!and a Door.
THE kids room had two long bunk beds,a tv,cd player,nintendo 64,a phone that the kids called to get bedtime stories,table and chairs,drawers and a shelf,the speakers for the tv were in the bunks.
the livingroom,kitchen was more cramped than I thought But it worked. THE fridge was really cold. there was a microwave and sink and cupboard space. The bathroom was large!
ONE thing I would caution Everyone about is the PIZZA Delivery 3 med. pizza's cost us $70. I Didn't realize that INCLUDED the tip!!
WHEN we complained about not getting enough towels 2 days in a row,the aplogized and took money off the bill. NOW THATS SERVICE!!!!
**************************************************P.S. I forgot to mention that HIFS is right on the road into Epcot.It is a short mile from the WDW gates!!! It is closer than the Marriot World Resort that is talked about so much here on DIS!!
