I think it's just the style, from reviews I had read I though I thought I was going to be wow'd be the hotel. I wasn't a big fan of their QS. The pool was nice, but from reading things on here people compare it to a water park, which I didn't agree with. I just liked the theme better over at the Boardwalk and it might be because the hotel went above and beyond for my birthday. I got a card and balloons it was really sweet and never happened anywhere else before. I also like the actual Boardwalk, the shops and entertainment are really cute.
But we are going to be staying at the Beach Club in October since nothing else opened up and the location just can't be beat for Food and Wine and going to Hollywood Studios.
