a magical location...
Final Verdict: The StayIQ of 66% Means Some Magic
Room 4708 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort offers a solid, if not spellbinding, experience. The hotel’s location and connection to the monorail are undeniable perks, and the cleanliness and style stand out. While a few details fall short of the Disney enchantment standard, the overall experience ensures a stay that's more Tinker Bell than ticking clock. ✨
A Monorail Dream: Contemporary Comforts at Disney's Magical Kingdom
Bedtime Tales: A Middling Mattress and Mediocre Magic
The bed in room 4708 won’t whisk you off to Neverland, but it gets the job done. The linens, mattress, and pillows all hovered at a 3-star performance (60%). Functional, but far from enchanting, this bed is more “Prince Charming on a budget” than royal treatment. That said, the noise levels were manageable (60%), and the outlets (80%) provided plenty of power for charging dreams—or devices.
Room to Roam: Clean and Contemporary with a View to Impress
When it comes to the room, things look up—literally. The view (80%) of the Magical Kingdom sparkles as one of the standout features. Cleanliness (80%) and stylish décor (80%) provide an upscale vibe, though the layout (60%) and workspace (40%) might leave efficiency-focused guests wishing for more. Unfortunately, room service and minibar were missing from this stay’s spellbook, but the amenities (80%) helped fill in the gaps.
Bubbling Over in the Bath: Clean, Comfortable, but Not Quite Luxurious
The bathroom is serviceable with cleanliness (80%) leading the charge, followed by decent water pressure and temperature (both 60%). While the towels scored a middling 60%, they were soft enough for a quick wipe-down before heading off to the parks. Guests looking for a spa-like experience won’t find it here, but for the basics, this bathroom checks the box.
Hotel Highlights: Steps to the Magic
The Contemporary Resort's proximity to Disney's Magical Kingdom and its seamless connection to the monorail (location, 100%) is the true fairy godmother of this experience. The lobby’s modern charm (80%) and attentive service (80%) make check-in a breeze, while the hotel’s style (80%) keeps things classy. The on-site fitness center (60%) and bar/restaurant (40%) could use some pixie dust, but when the Magical Kingdom is your playground, who’s sticking around for gym time anyway?
