Comfort Inn LBV or Courtyard LBV

[elf]

I'm going through on-site withdrawels for our April trip haven't stayed offsite in a long time (still have backup POP for $97). But it's supposed to be budget. We are going week of April 8-13, Easter week and I was very surprised to find these deals and availability.
I found the Comfort Inn LBV ($74) and Courtyard LBV ($79 that's the deal I found on these boards upgraded to suite type room).
Which would be better for 2 adults and 2 kids (5 & 7). Comfort has free continental breakfast and Courtyard has free buffet for adults and half price for kids. They seem to be very close to each other on Palm Pky. I like that the Courtyard deal has 2 TV and full breakfast.
Courtyard has Satellite TV I don't really know what that entails. Comfort Inn has Payfor movies.
Is one nicer than the other (cleaner, better pool?) or are they about the same?
Thanks

Well, I always prefer Marriott brand hotels, very little surprises with them . I booked the Courtyard Marriott suite for our Easter trip April 6-13 (so we'll see you there if you choose it ). I searched Tripadvisor.com and they got very positive reviews. They are very close to WDW and others here on the DIS have said the Marriott was great. This is just my humble opinion, I know you'll have a great time whatever you choose!!

I have stayed at that Comfort Inn. I would think that ANY Courtyard is going to be better. I was not at all impressed with the Comfort Inn.

Also, the "free" breakfast at the Comfort Inn was worth precisely what I paid for it. On my stay there was a group of band kids there. The kids were great, but they ate ALL the breakfast and the hotel only puts out x amount. If you get there and x was gone, too bad. (Overall the Comfort Inn had some really bad staff members)

For 5 bucks more a night I'd got with the Courtyard. Comfort is adequate with the only above average feature I noticed being room size which with the suite you should have anyway at the Courtyard. Comfort has some potential downsides (road noise, crowed barely adequate breakfast) that we didn't experience personally but I figure aren't with risking at a $5/nite differential.

Comfort in in LBV was really nice. The pools are nice and the food was great kids eat free. The rooms were always cleaned.

DH and i stayed at the comfort inn LBV b/c we used our entertainment card and got a price of about 39 or 49.99 per night. you can also tell them you have an orlando magic card and you may get a better rate for either place (they never asked to see it though)

it was OK- the rooms were clean and about as big as the ASMo- no big deal there. dont expect too much from the breakfast- and the pool faces the highway (and some of the rooms do also)- you hear a lot of noise.

if you stay there ask for a room facing the parking lot- it quieter.

I just stayed at the CYM LBV. It's very nice. I have pictures if you want to look at them just PM me.
Most of the rooms are newly renovated. The beds were extremely comfy!!
Breakfast was a nice buffet. The pool area was very nice too. Comfy chairs, nice pumped in music.

sorry- just checking our entertainment book and Courtyard LBV is in there, CI is no longer there. as i said maybe you can tell them you have the orlando magic card and they may give you a better price.

good luck!

We just returned from the Courtyard LBV (Palm Parkway) a few days ago. We were extremely happy with our choice. Please ask any questions!
