Fodor's Review:

Disney's smallest deluxe hotel is a beautiful re-creation of Victorian-era Atlantic City inn. Architectural master Robert A. M. Stern designed it to mimic 19th-century New England building styles. Rooms have floral-print bedspreads and blue-and-white painted furniture. Those overlooking Crescent Lake cost the most and are the noisiest. A 200-foot waterslide in the form of a classic wooden roller coaster cascades into the pool area. The property opens directly onto Disney's BoardWalk entertainment complex, where you can ride surrey bikes, watch a game at the ESPN Sports Club, or dine in some of Disney's better restaurants. The hotel is also a 15-minute walk from Disney-MGM Studios. Pros: quick access to nighttime fun; rooms are larger than average (390 square feet). Con: shuttle to Magic Kingdom and other parks is slow.

Innkeeper's Club worth it

Posted by wanabrown from Upstate New York on 2/8/07
We stayed at this hotel at the concierge/Innkeeper's club level the last week of January. The lounge was a delightful respite from the parks and we love the parks. Food and beverages were plentiful and there was a varity from which to choose. Our trip was enhanced by the staff. We took the one hour tour at the Animal Kingdom with a zoologist that was the highlight of our trip. Because the staff took the time to find out what we enjoyed, we found out about this while we were having drinks one evening. We signed up for the tour the next day. The proximity of this hotel to Epcot (we love to eat there for dinner) and MGM was the main reason I selected this hotel. The boardwalk restaurants also are good for a change.
