Hotel Disney's Port Orleans Resort (Lake Buena Vista, USA)

Guests liked the fact that the resort war rather compact, so you won't have to walk far to get to the lobby, bus stops or the food court. They also found the grounds well maintained with interesting crocodile statues and lush gardens and suggested that this was one of the more quiet Disney properties.

Guests can enjoy special perks such as a free non-stop water taxi to Downtown Disney and bus shuttles to all areas of the Walt Disney Resort and to and from the Orlando International Airport.

The resort is close to all Disney theme parks and only an 8-minute drive away from Epcot, and you can walk to its sister property Riverside within five minutes.

The rooms are very basic and guests thought they could use some updating to include the old mattresses, worn sheets and dirty carpets. The need for adequate soundproofing was another point guests mentioned, as they were able to hear other guests' conversations, plumbing issues, and noise from the hotel pool.

Some guests didn't like having to go over to Riverside to access other dining options, pools or other services not offered by their hotel. They noted that other Disney properties also included more amenities and featured better equipped rooms, as they include iPod docks and premium bedding among other things.

Due to the large number of rooms, guests reported that the hotel starts to feel overcrowded during daytime hours, as children and families occupy the food court, lobby and pool areas. They noted that there is only one dining option, leading to long wait times to get a seat and get served.
