Just a quick update. The hotel itself was pretty nice.

I encountered my first 'snafoo' with booking through Priceline. I checked in late at night as well, so that couldn't have helped.

When I arrived they only had 'smoking' rooms available. The room reeked, but I know room selection is something we give up when we book through Priceline so I was only mildly annoyed. Completely disgusted, but only mildly annoyed :)

The hotel is about 8 minutes' drive from Disney property. We parked at the Toy Story lot just past Katella, which seemed faster than navigating to the parking structure and taking a tram.

Sorry to hear the hotel only had smoking rooms available when you checked-in.

If this should happen again on a multi-nite stay, you should ask the front desk if they can move you to a non-smoking room after the first nite.

Hope the rest of your stay went well.
