I've stayed here twice for one night each (get into Orlando late so stay here before moving on-property at WDW). First trip the rate was $49.95, the second was $45.00.

The hotel is clean and serviceable. It is 5 stories tall, has 3 elevators in the center of the building (I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for an elevator). There are two restaurants and a tiki bar by the pool (I've never eaten at the restaurants). The pool is small but since there are only 198 rooms, the pool should be functional without being overly crowded (no slide or other thrills).

There is a website here:
Clarion Maingate (http://clariondisney.com)

That site is run by the hotel/manager. The pictures of the rooms are basically what the rooms REALLY look like :)

Convenience factor - there is a Denny's and McDonald's (plus other restaurants such as Key W. Kools) within a couple minutes walking distance of the hotel if you choose not to eat at the hotel or the hotel restaurants are not open.

The website above is fairly complete and should give you a basic idea of what to expect. Both of my one night stays were just fine and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Good to know...thanks!! I was worried because the rate was exceptional (like 40/nt. w/ every 3rd nt. free) and my friend is staying there alone w/ her 2 kids!
