This may have been posted already but the down town coutyard by marriott has added more rooms for Nov 30 - Dec 18 at the special rate of $20.03. Just book our room for the 5 nights at $111.70 total. I would like any information about this resort from anyone who may have stayed there.

simbasmom, thank you SO much for posting this! I thought we'd missed out on this rate a few weeks ago, but thanks to your post I called first thing this morning and was able to get the $20.03 rate for 12/1-12/4. Thanks again!

Just to let everyone know, you cannot cancel, change or transfer these reservations. I'm going to book as soon as I can get some dates out of my friend. What is so hard about deciding when to go?

I am so glad I could help, I hope I made the right choice by booking this hotel. We have never stayed offsite and I am a little worried about canceling our reservations at the cbr. Will I be dissappointed in this choice

I think whether or not you are disappointed depends on what your expectations are. This isn't a Disney hotel with Disney soaps and Mickey wake-up call, but personally for $20 I wouldn't mind. If this is your "once in a lifetime" trip, than possibly you would be dissappointed, but if you've been to WDW before than it is a GREAT deal.

We just stayed at the Marriott in June using 2 free weekend night vouchers from Marriott. The rooms were large and we had a balcony with a pool view. The staff was exceptional - way more friendly than we have experienced at even WDW resorts. The CM said "she had the honor of checking us in." Way to make you feel special. They also have a managers reception at night with free drinks, nachos and popcorn. The pool wasn't themed, but it was decent. My kids had a blast there. But, we aren't picky and were happy to be splashing around in the cool water.

They were replacing some floor tiles in the back hallway to the elevator, but we didn't mind that. Although some might. They had a couple cones with caution tape up around it.

It is very close to DTD and may be walkable, depending on who is in your party. The bus transportation to the parks is decent - I think they come every half hour. Although we didn't use these. It sure beats the other off-property shuttles.

If the $20 rate was available for my time frame, I would jump at the chance and not look back. Unfortunately we are planning to go the last week of November. You will be paying for about 5 nights at the Marriott for the price of 1 night at CBR! Think about all the fun stuff you can do with the savings, or if you are practical, just think of the savings!

I guess my point is, it depends on your expectations. You can have a very magical time here.
