Best Western LBV(DD) or Radisson LBV- please help me decide

[Momtoemma]

Both these hotels have specials on through travelzoo for $79. I believe both have free parking and no resort fees (importnat to me as we will have three cars and will not be at the hotel too much) Both are in similar locations (Radisson is on 535 by I-4, BW at far end of Hotel Plaza

BW has free breakfast in the deal. Radisson gets much higher rating on tripadvisor, BW has balcony (which I like a lot)
Radisson is newer, BW I think has been renovated. I believe Radisson has the better pool (a consideration)

So-our situation
9 of us- 2 age 80 plus, walking issue (uses walker) for one
5 adults ages 45-55
2 teens both age 17

2 of us- parent and 1 teen coming for 5 days to do parks- we have been many times before- we will be going commando style for at least 3 of those days and then possible Universal day. We will have a car.

2 over 80's and 2 other adults- coming in late Thursday, stay til Sat am, so really only one day- THEY MAY HAVE A CAR not sure
however they will either stay put to rest, take a taxi or be driven

2 adults and 1 teen arrive Friday at MCO at 11am after redeye flight from Seatlle. They leave Sat am. They will have a car.

We all leave Sat am for Disney cruise.
Is there a reason to not go with the Best Western since it has balcony and breakfast??
Please tell me your pick and why.
TIA

I have never stayed at either hotel but recently booked the Radisson myself for an April stay. Based on the many reviews I have read about both hotels I was a little nervous about the Best Western. Radisson has receieved excellent reviews and 100% of hotwire customers recommend it. So, I figured I could not go wrong. Besides the rooms look huge! Good luck on your decision & have a great trip!

We have stayed at the BW LBV and we love it. The beds were comfortable, housekeeping was very on top of things, the bathroom was large, and best of all - the balcony. We always choose the Disney view with 2 queen beds. We are able to see the fireworks from several of the parks from here.

What a relaxing way to finish the day - and begin a day.

We stay in park the 1st week - and then here the 2nd week.

Whatever you choose, have a fantastic time.
