This hotel is only a mile away {if that} from the Disney Parks, village and bus and train stations.
Reached by a free pink shuttle bus {no.54} of which runs every 10-15 minutes stopping at hotelsmy travel explorers, Hotel Kyriad, Movenpick Dream Castle and Holiday Inn.
The Holiday Inn Hotel itself is very clean and has a small shop selling gifts and phonecards, check in was easy and very quick.
We stayed in room 3303 of which was a very large double bed, very clean and tidy. As we stayed here for our honeymoon for 11 nights the room was cleaned and the bed made with fresh linen everyday.There was even a complimentery bowl of fruit waiting for us in our room.
The food however at the hotel is expensive and not very good in the evening, my husband however said that the breakfast was excellent.
There is also an ice machine and an iron and ironing board to use on the floor we stayed {do not know if there is one on each of the 3 floors}.
Hotel amenities were excellent and staff very helpful. Vending machines are expensive in the hotels available, we found out that if you go to one stop on the metro to Val D'europe there is a large indoor shopping centre with a huge supermarket called Auchan, this sells everything from fresh meat off the deli counter to various wines and spirits.
We stocked up on Lays crisp {equivelant to Walkers} and bottles of fizzy well known brands of pop, also bottles of wine were cheap here as well.
Also in the shopping centre there is a Sealife centre, lots of clothes shopping and yes a Mcdonald's.
The train journey to the centre of paris can be a bit tiresome at around 45 minutes. If sightseeing not everything is close together, but the metro system is easy to figure out.
Must see attractions are the Eiffel Tower of course and the Louvre,which is a lot bigger than we thought it would be .The best way to see the sights is to go on an open top tour bus, this is excellent value plus you get lots of piccies of the spots that you want to see instead of trudging around all of the time.
We still did not get to see everything in Paris and had to go back another time on another holiday.
When eating out there are plenty of eateries in Disney Village, we tried Planet Hollywood {did not get much for your money} and we liked King Ludwig's castle their food and service was excellent.
There's plenty of souvenir shops around and there's even Hurricane's Discotheque, Buffalo Bills Wild West Show and also a Cinema.
Beware of people touting for timeshare at Marriott Village when shopping at the Disney Village.
The parks themselves are good, food inside is expensive though and the souvenirs can be a bit more pricier than in the Disney village shops.There is also a post office there called Le Poste for you to send your postcards back home.
As we went on the rides, you did not seem to be in a queue for very long.
Overall we thought it was great, maybe we will go back in a few years time to see how different it may be and see if it has expanded.The cost via expedia including flights from Manchester flying with British Airways for our stay of 11 nights and a 3 day hopper pass each was just under £1,200 for the two of us.
