I paid $623 to spend a night at Disney's BoardWalk Inn. It was pricey but worth it for the convenient location and amazing service.

Disney's BoardWalk Inn had a seaside feel with its awnings, patios, and wooden entrance. At night, the Disney BoardWalk sign was beautifully lit and a sight to behold.

Upon arriving at the front doors of the resort, I could either enter the lobby or follow a walkway that took me directly onto the BoardWalk.

Although the sights and sounds from the shopping and dining area were enticing, I made my way to the lobby to check in.

The lobby was clean and always felt cold, which I appreciated after a hot day at Disney's theme parks and pools.

The lobby bar, Belle Vue Lounge, opened daily at 4 p.m. and served beer, wine, and craft cocktails. There was also a coffee shop inside that sold pastries and beverages.

I loved relaxing by the carnival-themed pool, which had a fantastic bar, Leaping Horse Libations, that looks like a carousel.

The bar offered snacks, including a delicious ciabatta-bread pizza, and drinks. Hotel employees also played poolside trivia with children in the afternoon, creating a family-friendly experience.

In my $623-a-night hotel room, there were two comfortable queen beds and a sofa sleeper, allowing the room to easily accommodate up to six people.

Since my room was newly renovated, I had Victorian-seaside-themed art on the walls and got to enjoy the laminate flooring rather than the old carpet.

My room was on the ground floor and had a patio with two chairs and a small table facing a garden. Standard-view rooms on higher floors offer a balcony instead of a patio.

There are also some rooms that overlook the BoardWalk and the water, but they tend to be more expensive.

The hotel was within walking distance of Epcot, a Skyliner (free gondola transportation) stop, and Hollywood Studios.

There was also quick access to boats that could bring me to other resorts in the area, including the Marriott-managed Swan & Dolphin Hotels, which offered extra dining options.

The resort's convenient location was a great value. I didn't have to stress over accessing Disney's public transportation.

From pickleball clinics to movies under the stars, plenty of activities were offered at the resort.

I also had access to amenities like a fitness center, an arcade, and an outdoor running trail.

Another relaxing spot at Disney's BoardWalk Inn was its spacious back porch that offered rocking chairs and a great view of the resort.

When the sun wasn't blaring, I enjoyed sitting there with my morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

From AbracadaBar, a magic-themed bar that makes amazing cocktails, to a pizza window serving delicious pies to-go, there was lots to eat and drink along the BoardWalk.

Staying close to the action allowed me to really explore the area and find my favorite locations.

Overall my one-night stay felt a bit pricey, but it was totally worth it.

Disney's BoardWalk Inn is a great hotel option if you're interested in being close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. With a Skyliner stop nearby, it's also the perfect location if you want to take on the fan-made Skyliner bar crawl.

I loved the quiet, seaside feel of the entire resort, and the restaurants and bars had some of the best service and food I've encountered at Disney.
