Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good
"We had a two night stay for a quick Disney trip. We found the beds to be comfortable and the room was very clean. The staff were always nice and we enjoyed getting a free drink at arrival. The only thing we did not like was that the bathroom door was a slide door that appeared smaller than the door frame and it would not align with it either so there was not a lot of privacy. It definitely needs upgrading. We would definitely consider staying here in the future!"
