Has anyone stayed here recently? The one on Marbella Palms. I have a good rate for the Sheraton Safari for one night - but I can get a 2 room suite plus breakfast for $30 more. Hmm. Decisions, decisions.
I have a friend who stayed in a one-bedroom with 3 kids in May and they really enjoyed it. They had also stayed at the beach a few days, and said this hotel was much nicer than their Marriott at the beach.
We stayed there Last Dec 27th-Jan 1st. We loved it, the location was great,
Hotel staff couldnt be beat, Breakfast was always pretty good too.
Your close to everything but far enough away from the crowds
I've stayed in a 2 b/r there and would do it again in a heartbeat. It feels very homey (ie. real drawers in the bathroom vanity, nice kitchen set-up), great pool, spacious, and extremely comfy beds (2 queens in second room, 1 K in MBR), close to WDW. The staff was great, even made some photo copies for me at no charge.
I have stayed at the Res Inn LBV twice. I would recommend it Very convenient to WDW. I just returned from a trip to Orlando. This time we stayed at the Res Inn Sea World. That one gets thumbs up as well. The pool is a bit better there also.
Never have in WDW area, but all of the Residence Inn's we've stayed at have been a great value for the money. You may really like having all the extra space for so little more.
