Cheap hotel around wdw

[Mcqueen Fans]

We are looking for a cheap and clean hotel to stay the night before we go and stay at a Disney resort. We get in late on friday and our package does not start until saturday. Thanks for any suggestions.

 

[Mcqueen Fans]

anyone?

The night before our Disney cruise in Feb. we'll be staying at the Fairfield Inn Orlando Airport (by Marriott.)
I can't tell you my experience since we haven't stayed there yet but it was highly rated on Expedia and TripAdvisor.com.
They provide free airport shuttles and continental breakfast. It's only about 1-2 miles from the airport.
We booked way in advance and got a rate of $99.35 incl. tax with our AAA discount. For our family of 4, we'd probably spend at least $30 on breakfast anyway. I think it's a bargain.
Good luck

I think it helps if you define cheap.

I have learned on these boards that one person's cheap is $30 a night and another person's is $250 LOL!

I have used Priceline for this in the past.

I also have stayed at the Fairfield Marriott Village. It was very nice. By the airport my brother idd the Fairfield ruadisneyfan2 posted and it was fine. There is also a good La Quinta there.

If I am staying off site, my preference is to stay in Lake Buena Vista. There's a Comfort Inn there that if you can get VERY cheap I would stay in. (I think anything over about $50 is a ripoff for that hotel, but others like it better then me. My room was fine very basic, but it had the RUDEST front desk staff I have ever met and I travel a lot!) I have gotten some great deals on TravelZoo at the Courtyard there, you might try that.

I second priceline.com. Last time we got a good rate at a pretty nice (for the price) Howard Johnson. Then had to extend one more night and got almost as good a rate from hojo.com.

2 of our favourites are Courtyard by Marriott at LBV which cost us $48 incl tax in August or Best Western Lakeside on 192 easy access to Disney via Sherberth rd never paid more than $43 inl tax.
We are trying Comfort in For Xmas and New year paid $36 incl tax.

I would go with a hotel near the airport with a shuttle - so you can go back to the airport the next morning and take DME to the hotel.

then you won't need a rental car.

other all the suggestion listed are nice - plus Cypress Pointe

When you say free airport shuttle will they pick you up and take you to the hotel as well?

all the airport shuttle takes you from the airport to THEIR hotel and back again.

most of the airport hotels have a shuttle.

To the OP: if you are flying in, I say get an airport room via Priceline or Hotwire. You cna use their shuttle to go back to the airport and use DME like soemone else said.

If you are driving, I can personally recommend the Comfort Inn LBV at Palm Parkway. It is perfectly fine for one night, and you should be able to get it prettly cheap. If you book though the Choice Hotels website and see a better price on another website w/in 24 hours of booking, you can use their Best Rate Guarantee and get 10% off the cheaper rate. I did that for last Dec. I saw on Travelzoo that the CI LBV website had a $39.95 special, so I booked on the Choice Hotel website for their Internet Users rate for like $44/night. I then used the BRG link on the Choice website providing them the link to the 39.95 price. They then adjusted my rate to $35.95 (39.95 less 10%)! 2 good places to check for cheaper rates are HotelmartUSA.com and HotelKingdom.com .

We have stayed a couple of times at the Gator motel on 192 (out by Wal-Mart). Been a few years, But it was clean and in the 25$ range.

We've stayed at Masters Inn kississmmee for 62$ on December 30th 2005
with breakfast included (coffee and danish)

I too like Priceline near MCO when arriving late. I bid either 2 1/2 or 3* and especially like it when I get Amerisuites at 2 1/2 * because of their more extensive breakfast. We've also won the Marriott, the Holiday Inn, and La Quinta. All were fine for one night. Prices were generally under $50. I always check www.biddingfortravel.com to get a sense of what bids are being accepted.

Hi,
We have on several occasions stayed at the Howard Johnson Maingate Resort West and found it to be very peaceful,clean and excellent value, it is also a stonesthrow from WDW and they have a shuttle service.

I have stayed at the airport Marriott several times using Priceline. For the night before Thanksgiving, I bid for a 2.5-star airport hotel and got the Wingate Inn with a $33 bid. I read good reviews of it at www.tripadvisor.com.

I posted my review of the CILBV in the reviews board. Overall not at all a bad place for under $40 a night. My only caveat would be to BE SURE you get a room on the parking lot side, not pool-side. Pool-side rooms are right off of I-4 and while we didn't find it noisy at all when we checked in during the day, at night...when everything else quiets down...well, it was fairly intolerable. That said, we stayed 2 nights and didn't request a room-change. Lazy, I guess. But I did say at the time I probably wouldn't go back there unless I KNEW I could get a parking lot room.

Tracie,
Thanks for your thoughts. We should be ok, all 3 of us can sleep thru anything, Just been to Disneyland, Cailfornia and stayed at Howard Johnson in a room right next to the freeway which was noisy but thankfully did not bother us.
I have an alarm clock and phone 18 inch from my bed, I can sleep thru them both.
Will try for parking lot room though if possible.
