I've posted this before, so if you've heard the story, my apologies... we booked the Grosvenor in Nov 2001 (after 9/11) for the fantastic rate of $39/night for a tower room. The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. It doesn't have any true disney charm, but for the price, it allowed us a last-minute trip. If you are concerned about the $$ and aren't really interested in themeing, than I recommend it. Did not use the pool, but it looked fine. Transportation was a little slow compared to the on-site resorts but was also just fine. We walked to DTD for dinner which was very convenient. Hope this helps!!
