We stayed at the Hawthorne Suites a couple of years ago in January and were extremely happy with it. In particular, the pool was great and heated well for January (I've seen so many complaints with other hotels not heating their pools sufficiently during the winter months). This hotel has free breakfast and the room rate is quite reasonable. It's also very close to Sea World. We would definitely stay there again.

....Is any good hotel recomendations that is very close to Seaworld?TIARenaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld is right across the street. Hilton Garden Inn is 3 blocks away, Sherton World Resort (now called International Plaza Resort & Spa) and Hawthorn Suites. Reviews were stating Hawthorn needing remolding, International Tower is nice but the other section gets a lot of negative reviews. Renaissanace get solid reviews and the Hilton is easy on the pocket book.

This would keep you in the Sea Harbor and Westwood Blvd area.
