We recently stayed at the Best Western next to the Dockside. The hotel was very clean ( I could smell the bleach ) .. .
Also try for AAA discount or teachers , etc…
We liked this location because we could walk over to the Dockside to use the Universal Bus to CityWalk .
Nobody said anything that it was not allowed …I have stayed many times at Dockside and know that nobody is checking . Plus you can just walk into the resort to get a drink at the Starbucks, etc.
I really like the Dockside dining selection and also they have a Bar,inside and outside by their pool.
Dosckside is very reasonable price butBest W is cheaper.
Good luck
