Help me decide on which of these 2 hotels to pick!

We're looking to stay at either the Hawthorn suites near Downtown Disney for $80 a night or At the Hilton Homewood Suites near Universal Orlando for $104 a night. They both look about the same quality. We are pbbly doing disney for only 2 days and will pbbly take advantage of Universal's 2 park 7 day tickets. I don't know if the Hilton Homewood suites is within walking distance to Universal... It would be nice since we could save on parking. I'm would assume the Hilton homewood might be nicer if it stands up to Hilton quality standards. Its only 2 of us, but we'd like a large room and a kitchen to cook a couple of meals to save some money since we are going to be there for 8 nights.

Anyone stayed at either of these hotels? Thanks!

WDW & US are about 30 minutes apart. If you're only doing 2 days at WDW and the rest at US, I'd stay closest to US.

US is on the corner of 2 very busy highways, making walking from anywhere difficult.

I would stay closest to where you plan to be the most.

If you can swing it, I'd stay a couple days onsite at USO. You can use your room key as an unlimited fast pass and pretty much walk onto every ride. You can walk to the parks from onsite hotels and even get excellent views of IOA from your room.

I stay at the Hawthorne Suites on Canada Avenue last year and it was great. I was a down the street from US. Only few minutes from WDW. That Hawthorne Suites on Canada was clean and had excellent free breakfast. The pool area was clean to. There is plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.

hmmm...this sounds strangely familiar
btw, you can't use your room key at WDW for unlimited fast pass. I was referring to USO.
