Double Tree Suites vs. Buena Vista Suites vs. Seralago

[hb2000]

Hi; First time poster.
We have planned our trip for Aug 8 - Aug 26, 2005. The flight is booked and we are now looking for a hotel. There are almost to many choices but we would like a suite hotel close to Disney. Through research on the web and links to deals from this sitethe following three properties are available at similar pricing:

Double tree suites - I understand the location is excellent and they have recently done a major update to the rooms. But no breakfast.

Buena Vista suites - Good location and a full breakfast buffet is included.

Seralago Suites - Learned on this hotel through a link from this site. They also offer a breakfast.

Does anyone have an opinion on the above three properties?
Is the breakfast buffet at the above actually any good??
Does anyone have another property they would recommend instead of the above three??

Thanks everyone for your help. Looking for a hotel for this trip does seem overwhelming.

We have stayed at Buena Vista a couple of times. Neither time was a bad experience, failry good variety for breakfast, never too busy. the food that was suppose to be "hot" was and same for the cold items. I would recommend it for the price. There may be better in the area, but it would cost more. No complaints here, except for the several busses of high school kids that arrived one day, but we were checking out. That could have happened anywhere.

I haven't stayed at any of these, but alot of people here use www.tripadvisor.com . There you should find alot of reviews of each hotel and judge for yourself.
I don't think that Seralago is the best choice, though. I have heard some negative feedback from there.

One other choice,too, is the Country Inn and Suites LBV. It is very close to DTD and they have kidsuites that I found for $80.00/night with AAA discount. They also have one-bedroom suites and a continental breakfast buffet.
Their rating is also very good on tripadvisor!
Good luck.

The only one I have stayed at is the Seralago. I don't believe it is in the same class as the other two. I think if you are looking at the same price range both of your other choices would be better. The Seralago looks much better on the website than it actually is. If you have any questions about the property, I would be happy to try to answer them.

FYI,
I just had quite the experience with a representative at Buena Vista Suites. Called around 2:00 (MTN) on a Friday, just asking some simple questions about shuttles routes: where they go, if they go directly to DD, if they go to Universal, how late they come back, just wanting some specifics for my vacation, I would rather not be stranded in a place I've never been. Well, apparently I wasn't asking politely, the lady started getting an attitude instead of trying to understand what exactly I was asking. I asked her why she was getting so upset, which made her more upset. She said rudely, "Well you asked me the question three times!" I said, " Well, you know what I'd probably rather not stay here anyway, I wont ask you anymore questions." She said, "Good." and hung up the phone.
Anyway, maybe it was just bad chemistry. But I would reccommend not staying there, less chance of having a similar experince.
I hope that helps.
