Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa

This place deserves zero stars. The photos online must be from when the hotel first opened, because what we experienced looked nothing like them. Honestly, a basic motel would have been a better option. The lobby is the only nice area of the property. As soon as you step off the elevator, the hallway is dark and smells old and musty. When you enter the room, you’re immediately hit with a strong odor that smells like dirty diapers. I called the front desk and asked to switch rooms, which they did. Unfortunately, the second room was somehow even worse than the first. When we walked in, there was a broken can of cleaning spray sitting right in front of the door, and the room smelled like it hadn’t been aired out in months. This was supposed to be my daughter’s birthday weekend, and she act

It was wonderful! We booked the 4 bedroom suite and it was very spacious for our family. We were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday. Wish we could have stayed longer to truly enjoy the property. We had great views, wonderful and friendly staff, close to Universal. No complaints here! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Positive: The location and the size of the room were fantastic. Appox 15/20 minutes from the Disney parks with light to cross busy roads. Negative: The resort is starting shows its age, there are a lot of worn areas and it seems little maintenance to restore its look. One room had blinds but no curtains. All of the furniture looks like it has taken a turn at a donation center. people smoking.

Loved our stay. Pool was clean and great for kids. Our room was spacious for our family of 6. Close drive to Disney. The only downside was no breakfast offered and the restaurant affiliated with the hotel had crappy food. We didn't try the poolside bar's food but based on reviews that was crappy too. Everything else was great though. Definitely will stay here again in the future 🙂

The condo we rented had plenty of room and was fairly well equipped, but was definitely out of date and well-used. That didn't really bother us. We were there in the "off-season" and it wasn't teaming with kids but there was the day to day noise of traffic. Locals driving cars with loud sound systems and silly exhaust systems were the real issue. Overall, this was a budget friendly location for accessing the big parks and shopping areas if you don't want to spend the money to stay on site. The pool is attractive enough but nothing to write home about. They do want to pitch you their time-share deal when you check in and offer a come-back-soon deal as you leave, but neither sales pitch was overly aggressive. We simply indicated it wasn't going to be a thing for us and they were fine.
