A Suite Choice?

[Georgia Mickey Fans]

This is my first post on this board having spent all previous time on the Disney Cruise Line board.

I am considering the new Country Inn on Intl. Drive, Buena Vista Suites and Sheraton's Vistana Villages. I have only just heard about the Sheraton today while reading this board. I do not care much whether it is close to WDW or USF, but most of our time will be at USF. I mainly want a great place to stay, under $100, no matter what the location! They all appear to be about the same price for a 1 bedroom suite. Perhaps could use a hotel that includes breakfast.

Can anyone give comparisons or positive / negatives.

We are a family of 4 with boys 11 & 8. Will be there 3 nights.

Thanks very much,
Dave from Georgia

I've never stayed at a Country Inn, but there have been good things written about them on this board. There are a couple of other places you might want to check on (we stayed on I-Drive last year).

The Embassy Suites/Jamaican Court has a Sea World package that works out to about $99 night when you take off the value of the Sea World tickets. Embassy Suites has a breakfast that you won't believe unless you've stayed at one before (and it's free).

There's also a Hawthorne Suites (breakfast buffet) very near Universal as well as Summerfield Suites, Homewood Suites, Amerisuites, and Sierra Suites ( at least some of these have a free continental breakfast)

The Holiday Inn Universal also has suites (but no free breakfast).

Buena Vista Suites is a sister property to the Caribe Royale, so you can use their fabulous pool (they don't advertise that fact). BVS has a breakfast buffet.

Embassy Suites on Jamacian Ct is a good choice, the breakfast is exceptional, worth go slightly over your budget.
