HIFS or HI Maingate East????

[taylorf]

The rate difference is about $22 a day more for HIFS. We are a familt of four. Since we will have a refrig. we will be eating breakfast in the room, so the free breakfast at HIFS is no big deal. Any other reason I should switch?

Thanks,

Forrest

IMO the free breakfast is a nice benefit. More than just cold ceral/donuts in the room.

Also, there is no comparision between the two hotels.

HIFS is 3 seperate rooms whereas the kidsuites at HIME are just one room with a seperate area.

They have numerous free activities at HIFS for the kids, such as, bingo, face painting, puppet shows, ect.

IMO, I think it is worth the extra money.

We are a family of 5 that has stayed at both hotels. DEFINATELY HIFS is worth an extra $22/night. The pool is beautiful, zero depth entry. HIME is a regular pool. The buffet breakfast is way better than breakfast in the room, you can even take food back to the room if you want. The night time activities are better. There is a little food court with Pizza Hut, A&W and an ice cream place. Kids eat free here for lunch. There is a convenience store. A train ride around the perimeter of the hotel. And, it is closer to the parks! We could see the tips of illuminations from the back of the hotel. Also, from the top of the "mountain" at Typhoon Lagoon, you can see the Mariott World Centre which is right across the road. I 192 was always a nightmare to drive on compares to the direct roads to the World from HIFS. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Just my 2 cents worth, I got a rate of $76 with the entertainment card for the kidssuite at HIFS and I believe it to be a good deal. You don't need the entertainment card until you actually check in. Good luck.
