Aventura Hotel

Still prefer any of them over this.

You honestly think this is better?

Hoy! I had never seen a picture of the Disney value resort rooms before. WHAT A DIVE!

That Mickey towel isn't even correct...and really, just a curtain to block off the bathroom?

Isn't the answer right there in your post? They update it?

Even themed hotels need to be updated. Disney is doing a large round of that with CBR, Coronado, Yacht Club, etc. All of them are getting "modern" designs with small theme elements. The "in your face" themed hotels of the 90's are gone. Even the rooms at Pop Century have been modernized and stripped of theme mostly.

I suppose you are right...This seems like it will age quicker than, say, Cabanna Bay..It will be interesting to see how long it lasts before the rooms and carpet are updated

Looks more like Kermit or froggie than the mouse..

Until a couple of years ago they even had the bathroom curtains in the higher priced Disney moderate hotels.

So has anyone who visited really been impressed with the hotel? Looks like everyone seems to think it's serviceable at best.

I'm booked here next month for HHN but judging by what I see.. it might be a one-and-done for me and then back to Bae.

I look forward to the reviews from people who stay here. Other than being small and possibly awkward I think the look of the rooms is excellent.

Yeeeesh!

After seeing what the hotel and rooms look like, I am very glad I cancelled my reservation for next month. I understand what they were going for, but what were they thinking? Worst looking hotel at either WDW or UO.

This is a little hyperbolic. Just a little.

I didn't believe this but this is what the current All Stars look like, but it is. The curtain is for light while getting ready, the tub/toilet has a door. In fairness most of the values are getting upgrades and this is the new, better room design.

I stayed in All-Star Music around 2 weeks ago and the room looked like what @Scott W. posted but in an even worst condition.

Curious, what was the rate?

Somewhere around $160

Oh my.

Thanks...

While this hotel will not be the favorite for some, it continues to show the incredible value of Universal hotels. Everytime I consider staying at Disney, everything is priced so high that drives me to stay at Universal or off site. No one should be paying 200$ a night for a hotel in deep construction.

I'm staying at Pop Century for a week in September. It's costing about a $130 a night but since I'm from the UK, I still get free parking which I see as a saving of $22 a day. The rooms look nice and clean although the rest of the hotel is still as tacky as ever.



I'm half tempted to send Tim Tracker a message in case he wants to make a video about the renovated rooms but I don't want to come across as a creepy fan.

On site food is cheap, it's close to the I4 and the advanced FP and dining reservations is becoming a must for visiting WDW. One of my wife's work colleagues is going a few days after us and they're struggling to get a FP for anything they want.

Cost wise, it's worked out slightly cheaper than Aventura and CBBR. Disney has better amenities I think but Universal is hands down, superior hotels. The huge upside is that the money I saved, I managed to save enough to justify a stay at Hard Rock for the rest of my trip.

CBBR will probably never looked dated as it's a period hotel. When it gets renovated, it will be to freshen the place up. When Aventura gets renovated, it will be to update everything.

One of the things people dont know is the room size is sooo small at Disney's value resorts (280 sq ft) the beds are slightly less long than normal beds to make the room look bigger

To be fair, that's not a present day picture. This is what All-Star (the resort Scott chose) looks like today:

The picture he posted looks like it's from the mid-2000's.

 

[Imperius]

Still not much better.

Not trying to say it is. Just pointing out that it wasn't a up-to-date room photo.
