Has anyone stayed at the Residence Inn LBV? I would like to know your thoughts about the hotel as well as its location to the parks.. Anyone have pictures that would nbe a great help as well, there are not many on the web.

Thanks,

We stayed there not quite 2 years ago and it was gorgeous! We had a top floor (3rd floor? or maybe higher) 2 bedroom/2 bath room facing the pool. The extra space, full kitchen, 3 TV sets were great. The beds were fantastically comfortable!! (I even checked into getting one of the "marriott mattresses" as they are called--it has foam that you sink into and sleep like a rock, and no, it didn't hurt my sometimes achy back). Another plus: the master bath even had drawers at the sink area--it felt so much more like home than a hotel room usually does. Nice decor, very clean and fresh. The kids enjoyed the pool, which is themed with rocks and a water fall and there's also a hot tub. In the afternoon/evening they had music and drinks for sale--a real resort feel to the place. Breakfast was great, we liked making fresh waffles; just so you know though, it doesn't include hot eggs or bacon like an Embassy Suites has. However, there are lots of choices and you can certainly fill up before a day at the parks. Desk staff was nice at check-in and helped me make some copies from my UG (the touring pages) when I asked if I could use a copy machine (and they didn't charge me anything). It's a straight shot in to DD and the parks from the hotel---about 5 minutes to DD, 10 mins. or less to the parks. Sorry, I don't have any photos to post but you'll have a great time, I'm sure. Enjoy!!!
