Monumental or ESD LBV? Booked Hampton Inn :)

Anyone stayed at either or both? any thoughts?
Looking for 12 nights at Easter
Monumental looks a nicer hotel but we prefer LBV area.

Monumental Hotel(former Crown Plaza) Near Seaworld, £40/night incl resort tax.

I would stay at LBV everytime, Like the relative quietness of the area and ability to walk to restaurants that we like, also ease to get to other parts of Orlando,
Ooh it must be a hard life , but someones got to do it eh?

We like LBV for the ease of getting into Disney but this trip is no Disney. No walking, car everywhere so that doesn't matter will be doing Seaworld(2 mins from Monumental), Busch and Universal.
Quietness, possibly Monumental is better location, ESD is near I4, Monumental is very quiet area south Idrive. Will have to decide soon.

Just booked Easter hotel this morning.
Didn't go for either of these, ESD had gone upto a crazy price, monumental I wasn't sure about.

Went for Hampton Inn by Hilton LBV, its highly rated (#13) on Tripadvisor and gets consistantly good reviews. It was either here or Comfort Inn at LBV at £29/night where we stayed before and had a bad room but they have just renovated the rooms so it should be better.
Its costing £39/night which is more than I have ever paid for an offsite hotel so hopefully it will be OK. free wireless net & breakfast.
Easter is the only time of year I struggle to get a good deal on hotels, although the £468 I paid is a lot better than the £725 direct with Hilton and just about every other site I looked at.

Not for 12 nights Luke, I am still considering it for 1 night in August but then not sure if we want just a cheapie to sleep in as we won't be checking in until 8pm ish and then out next morning.
Easter cheapest I could find Hyatt was with TravelRepublic at £1,076.18, £90/night, a lot cheaper in August.

That'll learn me to read the first post in a thread properly, I thought you meant August.

As you were...
