The best thing is to go on a site like Trip Advisor and do the research yourself. You could probably get 100 different answers from 100 posters. I usually go to Trip Advisor and do a review of hotels in the area I'm looking for. You kinda have to way the good reviews against the bad. I have been looking myself lately, and the Clarion Hotel near Universal and the Quality Inn on International Drive seem to get decent reviews for a budget hotel/motel. And both have great rates for November at least.
