Hi, I stayed at the Staybridge Suites LBV last December in a 2 bedroom trio suite. The suite was spacious and we also had a living area and kitchenette with a fridge dishwasher and microwave. You get a complimentary breakfast each morning which is ok but not out of this world (fuels you up for a day at the parks). 3 nights a week you get free beer, wine and soft drinks and I think burgers. The property is right next door to a Winn Dixie and Walgreens is just across the road. There are lots of restaurants also in the immediate viccinity which is handyand Crossroads is just about walkable. It is very close to Downtown Disney, about 5 minutes drive. The hotel runs a shuttle to the Disney parks but I didn't use this as I was with a group. Swimming pool was adequate and had a hot tub.

I will be staying there again next October and am looking forward to it. It's a great location.

We stayed at Staybridge too a few years ago and we really enjoyed it (it was under different ownership). I like that location generally, and it worked out nicely for me, dh, dd 1 and my mother who came with us. It isn't fancy, but our 2BR sure beat having 1 hotel room and was great for dd's naps. That was the first time we had stayed in anything but a "room" in Orlando, and I think it is what set us up for our DVC purchase so watch out!
