I wanted to report back here to let everyone know what we thought about the Buena Vista Suites. I appreciated everyone's willingness to share their experiences with us.
To start, we stayed 8 nights and got an incredible rate on their Thursday one day special. So overall, can't complain for what we paid. That said, we have no interest in returning.
Pros:
Location was great! It never took more than 10 mins to get anywhere.
The rooms were clean. The staff was friendly. We never had trouble finding a parking space. It was quiet. We saw lots of nice families.
Cons:
The breakfast buffet was bad. The food was just plain bad. We ate there for the first three mornings and then couldn't stand the thought of going back. The room is small for a suites. We have spent many vacations at the Doubletree Suites and that was truly a suites room. This was a "sorta-suites." We really needed more space (there are 5 of us). The housekeeping staff never left enough towels. We were either calling and waiting for more towels or having to share towels. One night we had no washcloths to bath the kids. That was fun.
So I wouldn't not recommend it, but for us it wasn't a good fit.
