When we stayed there many years ago, we were not impressed with the bus service. It seemed very slow, stopping at the other hotels in the area, taking a while to turn around in the parking lot. Since then we've opted for All Stars, by choice or otherwise.
Otherwise, hotel was fine.

I can't speak for all of the DTD Hotels, but I have stayed at the Hilton numerous times while traveling for work. We have even had Annual Meetings there a few times.
It's a great Hotel directly across the street (and an easy walk) to Downtown Disney Marketplace and Pleasure Island.
The service and accommodations are well above average and they have nice grounds to take an evening stroll. The Hilton quality is evident throughout. They even have Character Meals on certain days and times. Bus transportation to the Parks ran every half hour at morning and evening, and hourly throughout the afternoon, I believe. We walked to DTD and Pleasure Island from there.
One Hotel I did not like was the Double Tree down the road from the Hilton. I stayed there once and I hated it. Though you have the added benefit of a "suite" with wetbar, living area, etc., I found the Hotel itself to be less than pleasing both aesthetically and maintenance-wise. The halls and room also smelled of "old Hotel mold", which was overwhelming at times. The lack of "Hilton quality" was evident. It was 2 years ago, though, so hopefully they made some improvements. I'm not willing to take that chance!
There is another DoubleTree Club Hotel, however, over by the Animal Kingdom that was really nice!
I would go back to the Hilton.....but only if the Wilderness Lodge was closed! :lol:
HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!
