Have accepted that in order to make this trip work we have to stay offsite. I've narrowed it down to these 2 hotels. Can anyone offer an opinion on transport to/from the parks. No we will not have a car & I don't want one. I don't think either place has airport transport. Right now I'm just looking for shuttle service to/from the parks.

Thanks in advance.
 
I stayed at Best Western Lake Buena Vista in June for 2 nights before our on sight stay. I went in kinda not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The room was very nice beds were good and hotel staff were above average. The busing system is basically the Same between the 2 hotels, except one runs on the opposite side picking up passengers from those hotels. The only downside we saw at all was the pool was tiny. Downtown Disney is in walking distance to both. If I had a choice I would factor in pool use and choose the least expensive. I have heard good things about that holiday inn and wouldn't hesitate on it. The bus system runs about every thirty minutes and was reliable. Über is also a good option for transport to and from the parks if you don't like the shuttle service.
 
I would stay at either, probably boil down to price.
Holiday Inn has no resort fee, Best Western does.
Holiday Inn has had a recent renovation.
 
We have stayed at all the DTD hotels though stay at the Best Western more than any others. I have their "rewards card" so we rack up points staying at Best Westerns. Having said that, the hotel is very clean, the rooms are nice, spacious and every room has a private balcony at the Best Western.

Also, yes they have a resort fee though no parking fee. The bus route with the Best Western only stops at three resorts and you are first on and first off the bus as well.
