Comfort Suites Maingate East

Does anyone have any pictures of the hotel? My family is staying here because I got an AWESOME rate. It's currently sold out so I'm thinking it will be crazy there. How is the shuttle and is it close to a grocery store? so many questions!

We stayed there in summer of 2004. We really enjoyed the hotel. I only have postcards of hotel but I believe there are pictures on expedia. We did not use the shuttles because I recall you had to stay in the parks for a long time so we liked the freedom of using our own car. We stayed there while we visited the US parks and stayed on Disney property for Disney parks. If I remember right the Publix grocery store is less than a mile from the hotel but is quite pricey! We also went to a Wal-Mart that is probably 10miles from the hotel and is VERY CROWDED!!!! They definately need to build another one. We were told that particular Wal-Mart services several of the surrounding communities. Hope this helps you a little bit.

We also stayed there about a year ago. We got a great rate as well and we thought it was a good deal. Unfortunately I don't have pictures but expedia should. It is a basic hotel - nothing fancy but clean. The rooms are quasi-suites (as I call them) where it is really one bigger room with maybe 2 foot wall extensions dividing the part of the room with the two beds from the part where the sofabed is. The kitchen area (if you can call it that) is very small but the refrigerator can be handy. They have a continental breakfast on site for free which was pretty good. It was busy when we stayed there too but it didn't seem like that big of a deal. It was busy at breakfast but you just need to plan that. We did not use the shuttle - I had not heard good things about it. I forgot to mention that the pool was very nice. My kids really liked it. One of the best things about this hotel is its location. It is very close to disney and there are many restaurants/stores around. Overall we thought it was a good deal especially if you have 5/6 people that won't fit in regular hotel room. Have fun!

Is $62.99 a good price for this hotel? We will be there before our way out of town the next day. Just staying there Aug. 31.

Thanks

My DH and I have stayed at this hotel the last 2 times we've been to DisneyWorld and wouldn't stay anywhere else off site. The only negatives I can say are the elevator is way slow so if you don't have luggage to tote around, definitely take the stairs. Their continental breakfast is good and gives you a good start to the day but remember to be there early or else you may not find a place to sit (there are tables and chairs outside by the pool if there isn't anything available inside). We used the shuttle our first trip but found the schedule wasn't that great. If you like the flexibility of going back to your hotel in the afternoon, I'd suggest renting a car and driving - it's only 10 minutes to the parks. The rooms have always been clean.

if you take Hwy 192/Irlo Bronson back twards Disney, there is a Publix Grocery Store & a Walgreens Pharmacy (it sells lots of different sodas, water, & even small amounts of groceries) where International meets 192, you will see a Texas Roadhouse, Publix is in the shopping center behind it.
If you need Walmart, there is a new Super Walmart if you take a right on Hwy 192 & then turn left on 535.
