Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent
"We stay here every time because it’s cleaner than some of the ones closer and it’s far cheaper than the closer ones! My kids really don’t mind the walk - we grab Starbucks next door and walk to the park in about 10 minutes… I’ve offered them Uber rides to the front, but they never wanna do it. The staff is always so nice - offering a welcome drink and very helpful when we check our bags downstairs to go to the park on checkout day. They offered me late checkout at noon! I called for more towels and they sent a robot upstairs with towels! So fun!"

10/10 Excellent
"Great property to save on your Disney trip. 20 minutes walk to the park. I'm not sure if any rooms are updated, so set that expectation, but we were happy! The pool and spalsh park were great. The deepest part of the pool is 4.5". Loungers and some pool toys available, which was appreciated! Life jacket are not provided and there is no life guard on duty. We will definitely use this hotel again and we're happy with our stay."

"The rooms were very clean. The hotel it self was very clean. Everyone who we encountered was really nice, except for one woman. The pool was nice but could use a little more shade. Overall we would stay again."
