Can anyone recommend a nice hotel with breakfast included?

We have also stayed at the Comfort Inn Maingate East on two separate trips, and really like it! Conveniently located, good breakfast, and a nice, warm pool!

Since there's just the three of you, have you considered staying at one of the WDW value resorts, and having breakfast in the room? Most kids are more than happy with cereal and fruit. You could go ahead and book, then wait for the codes to come out. If you're going the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th week in Aug., you could get a great rate. Lower than most I read quoted on here. Even the first week, with codes, could be cheaper. Just a thought.

tarheelmjfan-

I am considering staying on Disney property. However, I wanted to save this for the end of the trip. Hoping for a code rate for AKL. Probably way beyond my budget, but we will see. I just joined AAA a few days ago, hopefully that will help me out some.

Hi MsMulan!

I assume that rate was through www.choicehotels.com and not through www.hotelmartusa.com. As per the suggestion of winterman, you first go to HotelmartUSA's site, to find the rate per night for your dates and the particular room you are looking for, then you proceed to the Choice Hotels site and make your reservation. Then you send through the Choice Hotels internet rate guarantee form. They will respond within 24 hours, and provided they can find your rate on Hotelmart, they will match the rate and give you 10% off. It really does work. THANKS AGAIN winterman!

i'm going dec 3-11 and had already planned to stay at comfort suites maingate east based on consistently good reviews (and breakfast variety including belgian waffles), and had been surfing for best price. so i just went ahead and tried the above. choice hotels site is $53.99; hotelmartusa tied for best rate i've found at $53.50. i'll let you know how it goes - if they give me the extra 10% discount over 49 cents a night difference lol.

tripadviser.com has lots of reviews with comments on the area around the hotel

I got the same rate as philliplc and just as quickly! Wow! I would never have saved that extra bit of money without this thread! Thanks so much! Very interested to stay off property in early December, and the price just made it that much more interesting!

Has any one stayed at the Buena Vista Suites and liked it. I can only find bad reviews?

 

[mishoe01]

I recommend the Country Inn & Suites Lake Buena Vista. See my report from my trip....title is just back from Country Inn & Suites LBV.

I just tried to book a reservation at Comfort Suites Maingate East as you guys have mentioned and it didnt work! On the choicehotels website it states that there is a 99 minimum night required so I called the 800 number and was told that is how the hotel locks choicehotels out. So the rate I got is 61 through the other site hotel whatever is was. Any ideas? My date is Nov12th for one night.

Do you mean that with the internet rate guarantee there is a $99 per night minimum?

Sorry I wasnt clear enough on that one. It shows on that website www.choicehotels.com that there is a minimum number of nights that you have to stay a minumum of 99 nights for them to be able to book it. When I called choice hotels to ask about it they told me that you have to call the hotel direct to get a room and they put that 99 min in there when the hotel doesnt want choice to book-Like it is was low on rooms for example. Hope that clears it up. I am going to keep calling back and checking though.
