we stayed there for 1 night before we got into our weekly rental

desk staff was nice, kids said the pool was chilly

room was ok, only separated by a half wall, so you share the TV(and noise from it). It looks better on the website than in person.

I think I paid about $35? for it. How much did you find it for?

I don't think I would want to stay there for a week, but for the night it was ok. There are so many great deals to be found in Orlando, that you can probably do better.

The price is $32.50/night. All we really need is a place to lay our heads. We will only be there for 4 nights. We would also have to rely on their transportation to and from the parks.It also says that kids eat free. It surely can't be to good of food for that price.

Did they have inside hallways? Was it clean?

I am leaning more toward HIFS, just hate to pay $109.00 in Feb.

Thanks again,

We did not use the transportation, so I can't tell you about that.

The doors opened to the outside.

Cleanliness was so- so(but I am not real picky)

when in Feb are you going?

here is a nice place: from Travelzoo

$39 Stay Less than a Mile from Disney (to 2/12/04)
Orlando, Florida - Travel dates: Through February 12
Country Inn & Suites Lake Buena Vista is offering nearly 40% OFF standard rates this winter. Stay at the hotel through February 12 and pay only $39 per night. This is a great rate for a hotel located less than one mile from Walt Disney World.

To take advantage of this offer, you must book by December 24.

The special includes FREE breakfast daily. The hotel also provides complimentary shuttle service right to Disney's main gate. To make your stay even more comfortable, each room is equipped with a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker.

If your ressie with HoJo is cancellable, then I would go ahead and make it and then watch Travelzoo(sign up for their email newsletter) and Hotelkingdom. Sometimes things come up closer to the month before you go. I think Comfort Inn is around $30 with the Orando Magicard.

Like I said, the place was not awful, and if you are just sleeping there it is probably ok. I just think you might be able to find something nicer for the price you are looking at. Unless you are going president's week. I was a bit disappointed in the room after looking at their website- it looks nicer on there.

Thanks so much for the info. I have not made ressies yet. I am weighing all of my options before making any snap decisions.

We will be going Jan 31 - Feb. 4th.

Thanks,
