Sea World Hotels?

[candleonwater]

Any suggestions for a hotel nearby? We plan on spending a day at Sea World... the day we return from our Disney Cruise... and then spend the night nearby before flying home... we won't have a car... and the hilton is already booked?!

The closest place is the Renissance Resort across the street. It is about $150/night. The next closest is Sheraton World at $80-$100/night.

Okay, has anyone here stayed at the Renaissance Resort? (this is the hotel right by Sea World)
