Cheap Hotel

[steve3021]

Hi,
Leaving fow WDW in August.We're looking for somewhere cheap but clean for our first night.(To save on Friday night points)
Has anyone done this and if so, any recomendations?

We always do this on the first night and, because we fly indirect it's usually 7 pm-ish when we arrive and we're ready for crashing out. Therefore we like to stay near to the airport and at TG Lee Boulevard (about a mile north of the airport - couldn't be easier to find) are lots of the standard chains offering good deals.

A few times I've used Fairfield Inn by Marriott http://marriott.com/property/propertyPage/MCOFA and got a good rate ($49.99) and I also think Hampton Inn http://www.hamptoninn.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=V0BUMDQMLBFUGCSGBIWM22QKIYF C5UUC?ctyhocn=MCOAPHX usually has good deals too. Both of these include buffet breakfasts in the rate (cereals, muffins, juice, fruit - that sort of thing).

If I'm arriving earlier and want to make my way to the LBV area then I would again look for one of those chains in that area.

They are not always very cheap - depends on time of year etc, but you can get the cost down a little by being a member of the AA (and getting the AAA discount).

Thanks,
BTW, I didn't know AA was recognised for the AAA discounts I've seen.

I use http://www.hotwire.com a lot for odd night or two bookings, it's a little bit of a gamble as you don't know the hotel until after you commit to the booking, but you know the area and the * rating, I've yet to have a hotel I've been dissapointed in for the cost.
