Great location, staff and breakfast

This hotel is conveniently located off of I-4 in Lake Buena Vista very close to Downtown Disney. Our family has stayed here several times and had a great experience each time with both the management and the room quality. The daily buffet breakfast is complimentary and a great way to start the day before paying those high prices for your other meals at the parks!
We always get a 2 Bedroom Suite which gives you two full private bedrooms with their individual bathroom and TV. You also get a small Living Room area w/ couch and a Kitchen w/ Table/Chairs, Refrigerator, Micro and Dishwasher. In other words, plenty of room to stretch out after a long day in the parks.
It's within a couple of miles of Downtown Disney, numerous chain restaurants and reasonable driving time of 15 minutes or so (depending on traffic) to both Universal & Disney.
The only drawbacks from my point of view are for those who do not drive. You will most certainly need a rental car as there is no free shuttle. Also, the pool/jacuzzi are both on the small side, so if you are looking for a 'water park' type hotel pool setting, this is not for you.
