Both are similar in price, has anyone stayed at either of these? How was it?
BHI has a shuttle to Disney while motel 6 has the Art that stops right there.

Pluses and minuses to either one?
 
I have stayed at Motel 6 MainGate June 2014 and June 2015 and most likely will book there again for June 2016.

Its a large hotel, rooms are in two buildings which back onto each other. There is no breakfast but they have vending machines and a microwave for guest use in the lobby. There is also a small convenience shop and a left luggage store room in the lobby.

There is WiFi available in all the rooms but you need to get the code from the hotel reception.

There is a medium sized pool, which I have never used but every time I have passed it, there are always lots of families using it.

Most local take out places will deliver to the hotel, I got a Dominoes delivery in June 2015.

The rooms are huge, comfortably fit 2 king beds and lots of space for luggage or a wheelchair or ECV scooter. The room has a one person corner sofa with a table, chair and mirror and a large TV screen on the wall opposite the bed.

Some of the rooms have connecting doors.

The ART comes right into the parking lot and pulls up beside the main lobby. I usually get the ART 3 day ticket at the hotel reception. Your first use on the bus validates it, so if you buy it at 11 pm but your first use is the next morning, you don't loose any days. The bus leaves the hotel for the park every 20 minutes. Motel 6 Maingate is the last hotel pick up to the park and the first drop off from the park.

The shuttle bus drop off /pick up area is on Harbour Boulevard side of Disney Plaza, the opposite side to DownTown Disney.

Our friends really like the Motel 6. It is their regular go to. They go with 2 small kids and the grandparents. Motel 6 suits their needs just fine. Don't have any feedback on the BHI.

We stayed at Best Host Inn, I didn't mind it, it was clean but very dated. The neighborhood seems fine. I would stay there again, but the wife won't, I think just cause of being dated, also a bit of noise through the walls. The beds were a bit hard. But we got it for next to nothing, I think we paid $25 a night on a deal through hotwire.
 

Motel 6 Maingate is our go to place, and we probably stay there 3-4 times a year. Rooms are recently remodelled and the staff's been super helpful anytime we've had questions or issues. Especially Heather! She always remembers us lol
