This was my first time at Arts & Animation and I will definetly be coming back! I love the design and decor. I love how clean it was and how it was so easy to get around and transportation available to the theme parks.
The room was very clean and highly themed. Staff at check in was helpful and efficient. I needed extra towels and a fan nd it was quickly brought on Christmas Day.
The beds are a little high for small children without not having a carpeted floor, it’s a very hard floor and if a small child falls off the bed they could get hurt.
During our stay, we had a very unpleasant and concerning experience. We found a towel stained with blood, which is extremely unhygienic and poses a serious health risk.
The stain appeared to have been there for a long time, showing a lack of proper cleaning and quality control. We took photos as evidence.
This situation represents a biological hazard for guests, especially children.
We will be sending the images to the hotel chain so appropriate action can be taken to prevent future risks.
Due to this experience, we would not recommend this hotel until these issues are properly addressed.
