You need to speak Spanish to stay here. Not very user friendly. I think there was maybe 6 rooms occupied in the entire unit.The breakfast is in a seprate building and a real waste of your time. Bus runs to Epcot 3 times in 3 times out. Be there on time they will not wait 2 minutes. $9.00 Resort fee is a joke. This is no Resort. If you just want a reasonable place to sleep this is fine. Paid about $50.00 a night total for 7 nights. Not too bad but, this is not a 3 star motel. I'll look for a better spot next year. Beware Time share ticket deals. They lie to you like crazy. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482812 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482813 My husband and I met a few friends and we were absolutely satisfied. It's a great place if you're looking for a clean and affordable place to stay. We didn't really need too many amenities and the pool fit our needs for the trip. The housekeeping staff was very thorough in our room and it always smelled fresh. We've stayed at 5-star hotels and this hotel for the price we paid exceeded our expectations. I would recommend it to others. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482813 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482814 Did it meet your expectations? No. In my opinion, the front desk staff is under qualified and inexperienced. How does it compare to other, similar places that you have visited? I got less bang for the buck. What features of the place did you like or dislike? Proximity to Disney World Would you recommend it to others? Would not recommend. Overall, experience was uncomfortable at best. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482814 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482815 Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. In room safes were discontinued and that was an inconvenience. They offered to let us use the safes in the building next door, but I didn't trust that idea. Bath tub shower curtain was moldy and the floor of the bath tub was scary. Was not about to pay an additional $10.00 for a fridge or microwave after paying a "resort" fee of $8.50 per night. Room carpets needs to be cleaned. My socks were black on the bottom after half a day of being in my room. Locations were good but there were too many speed bumps on the way to the hotel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482815 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Palms_Hotel_Maingate_East/r482816 Very clean.Great location.

Our hotel room was very clean, had clean towels everyday. they could upgrade on the towels and sheets. Didn't like that there was a resort fee on top of your room rate. Very convienent to walt disney world.
