Royal Plaza Review

The Plaza is one of the boulevard's originals, but renovations during its 25 years (including a multimillion-dollar makeover a couple of years ago) have kept it in quite good shape. A favorite with the budget-minded, its hallmark is a friendly staff (some of whom have been here since the hotel opened) who provide excellent service. The well-sized rooms offer quality furnishings and amenities (pull-out sofas, plasma TVs, and more) and have enough space for five. Poolside rooms have balconies and patios; the tower rooms have separate sitting areas, and some offer whirlpool tubs in the bathrooms. If you want a view from up high, ask for a room facing west and WDW; the south and east sides keep a watchful eye on I-4 traffic. The inner courtyard offers a quiet escape where you can sit by the pool and soak up the Florida sunshine surrounded by scattered palm trees.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; Kids Eat Free program; babysitting; children's activity program; health club; heated outdoor pool; room service; 4 lighted tennis courts; complimentary bus service to WDW parks; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
