Help me decide between Best Western Raffles and Clementine Suites

[Kauai4life]

Aloha Experts,
I have two hotel rooms booked right now, I am traveling with myself my two grown DD and my SIL.

Option 1: The Best Western Raffles it is the room with two queen beds, two bathrooms and a sofa sleeper plus bunk beds.
Option 2 is a one bedroom at the Clementine and Suites, has two queen beds and the sofa sleeper in the living room.

The price is identical I would appreciate any feedback.
I really like the idea of two bathrooms but the Clementine looks nicer.

One factor to keep in mind is transportation. The Raffles Inn was our go-to before Homewood Suites opened next door. It is very close to the Toy Story parking lot which allows for a fairly small walk and then free ride to Disneyland (saving money on ART, Uber/Lyft/Taxi, or parking). Clementine looks to be the old Residence Inn location and is about a 2/3rds of a mile walk. So you are either in for a pretty long walk or spending money to get to DL.

As for room comparison: the Raffles Inn is a fairly standard “motel” and the free breakfast offering is decent last time we used them a few years back. Haven’t stayed at the Clementine since they took over and it has been 20 years since we stayed there as the Residence Inn (our honeymoon!) but I do remember the walk being not fun.

We can’t handle the noise of motels anymore. So clementine would be our choice. Just uber if needed.

I do remember noise last time we stayed. There was some large school / teen group staying on property.

A few advantages for the Clementine:
Good rates to be found on Expedia -- someone posted earlier this year about finding a great rate during Spring Break for the Clementine using Expedia -- they had a great stay!
The Clementine is the old Residence Inn Maingate -- so if you were familiar with that property, you know this hotel well.
It is next to GardenWalk -- restaurant choices within close walking distance.
It is on an ART route and the Motel 6 next door is on a different ART route -- so just remember the numbers for both routes and you can take either, depending on how your schedule works.
