I think I'm really posting this to organise my thoughts as much as for advice! I wish I was one of those people who just said "That hotel looks good, I'll book that", but I tend to overthink things.
Having looked at several options, I've narrowed my hotel choices for November to HoJo's or the Park Vue Inn. I've stayed at HoJo's before.

Having looked at several options, I've narrowed my hotel choices for November to HoJo's or the Park Vue Inn. I've stayed at HoJo's before.
- Parking is not an issue. We won't have a car.
- Price is an issue, but these are both in our range.
- I can be picky about hotels. I like nice hotels with good service, but my main concerns are safety and cleanliness.
- I assume we won't use the pool much in November, so don't need to factor that in. The boys did use the pool every day last time, but it was September.
HoJo's pros:
- We loved it last time we stayed there. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. There wasn't too much noise.
- They have a central corridor which feels safer to me because my husband isn't coming on this trip, so it's just me and two kids.
HoJo's cons:
- It is more expensive (I think - Park Vue Inn still haven't released their rates for November)
- It's a longer walk.
- Breakfast isn't included (not too big a deal - last time we bought cereal and fruit and had breakfast in our room)
PVI pros:
- Closer to the parks.
- Cheaper.
- Breakfast included.
PVI cons:
- Recent negative reviews about the noise level.
- Sounds like breakfast can be chaotic on busy days.
- Rooms open to the outside.
- Something I can't put my finger on that's holding me back.
