Holiday Inn Family Suites - Need reviews!

[ttfn3]

Has anyone stayed at the Holiday Inn Family Suites near WDW recently? I'm looking for information/opinions on the hotel and the kidssuites. I've been spoiled our past trips by staying at a 2 BR condo and now I'm trying to decide between the Holiday Inn Family Suites and the Wilderness Lodge. I can compare the pros and cons on each resort as price, location, etc. But I'd like to actual opinions from someone that stayed at the Holiday Inn. Any advice/hints would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

[Reflection]

My daughter and I stayed at HIFS for several days before heading over to Old Key West at WDW during our vacation this past August.

We had a kidsuite in Bldg 8--extremely close to the pool and not a long walk to the main building. The accomodations were fine, my daughter loved the pool, and we both enjoyed the evening activities--face painting, magic show or other entertainment, bingo, and Karaoke.

The breakfast buffet--included with the room rate--is another plus to others who have stayed here. However, I must confess, I thought the quality rather poor, but you will definitely find things--and of sufficent quantity to eat.

We had the Family Values package, which also included the dinner buffet--which generally gets low marks, but I found more acceptable items at the dinner buffet than breakfast, although we did not eat many dinners at the hotel.

HIFS is excellent value for the money and a terrific place for families. The accomodations are fine--clean and bright--but if you are looking for luxury, you will not find it here. Just my $.02.
My daughter (age 9) just added the bounce figure. She really liked HIFS.
