No title - expert review
You're paying for location, and perhaps tradition, when you stay at the Contemporary Resort. The first hotel to open here more than 30 years ago, it has been completely renovated several times to keep it up to 21st-century standards. What you're getting for your money is a futuristic-looking lodging...

The Contemporary Resort provides a Disney World experience like no other. While other hotels embrace a whimsical theme or are inspired by classic architecture from around the world, the Contemporary stands out as a beacon of modern design.

Convenient Location - user review
Although it is named the Contemporary, it is a pretty old hotel and while it is well maintained it is starting to show its age. It is in a good location however and is one of three Disney Resorts that have direct access to the monorail. This makes it very convenient because you can travel to both th...

Disney’s Best? - user review
Although the rooms had 2 queen size beds, they were not as comfortable as I would have expected. One day we returned to our room at 1PM and the beds were not made yet.

Considering that we were staying at a Disney Property, it wasn't as clean as one would expect.

Don't get me wrong, the room that I stood in was beautifully decorated, the...

Great hotel. We stayed in the Main Tower. There was no noise from the monorail. The room was huge with a separated sink area from toilet and a nice balcony. The views were amazing.

Renovations! What a difference they can make. The newly renovated rooms are simply awesome. They're all dark wood and frosted glass and big comfy beds... We had such a great stay.

The Contemporary hotel (tower) rooms were very spacious for the 3 of us (2 adults and a 3 year old) it would be comfortable for a family of 4 or possibly 5 since it also had the day bed.

The Contemporary is one of the oldest of Disney's luxury resorts and is lacking features/amenities or more modern resorts.
