This is true. It's not obvious on the holiday planner's website because... well, marketing. Holidaymakers are more interested in access to the parks, what the pools are like, things like that. They aren't bothered about what convention facilities are available. Disney is unlikely to make it more obvious that CSR is also a convention centre on it's UK holiday website - these websites tend to want to highlight things that will be attractive to their audience, not things that may put them off.

As you say, it's also not obvious for many other holiday hotels - even though they may also have convention, conferencing or business facilities. Most large hotels do have some sort of business facilities, like meeting rooms and the like.

Of course, this doesn't change the fact that CSR does have a convention centre and that Disney markets it to business and convention people as having a convention centre. If nothing else, this thread has perhaps helped make some people aware of this.
