Hi everyone again.

As in the title anyone stayed at the Clarion Inn? I wouldnt off even looked at it but my wife likes the idea of low buildings (not as many stairs) phoned Thomas Cook and the quoted £2648 for 14 nights / Virgin flights. /2 adults 3 children / transfers / 1st Dec 2012.

That seems cheap to me? Is this worth a go?

FYI they Quoted £2800 for Hawthorn Suites lbv and £3450 for Vistana lbv..

Do you mean this one at LBV?

Yes we have stayed there but its a few years ago when it was the Comfort inn. Worst hotel we have stayed at, paid £20/night for Xmas thru New Year. Room was filthy had cockroach in the room (in my shoe)

Thats the bad side, good news is since then they have renovated, still gets mixed reviews but don't think its anywhere near as bad as it was. I also think we got a bad room, others at the time didn't find it as bad as us. I would try it again at the right price. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...ion_Inn_Lake_Buena_Vista-Orlando_Florida.html

I always book flights seperate to room so couldn't tell you if package is a good deal, hotel is worth approx £500 for 2 weeks, knock that off and divide rest by 5 and you are paying around £429pp for flights, not OTT for direct flights but it is about cheapest time of year.

Thanks again Wayneg , what do you think of the other 2 hotels?
Also where would be the best price for Embassy suites on idrive? Like the look of that, further away from Disney but nice to play on idrive also.

Thanks for all your help

Sorry don't know either of the others.
We much prefer LBV to Idrive but others prefer Idrive, personal choice.
