Residence inn sea world

Wondering if anyone has stayed here before? Thinking of booking four nights for a pre cruise trip to Orlando.

We usually stay at Bonnet Creek, but this time we will be trying to cram in things and won't be hanging out as much.

I am getting a rate of $125 a night for a family suite which has two queen beds and pull out sofa...with free breakfast.

Is this place nice? Any other suggestions? I checked Doubletree and Embassy Suites but the rates are much higher. My DH is 6'5 and DS is 6'1 so Queen Beds are better. We are a family of five so that is why I am lookingat suite hotels.

Any advice or opinions is really appreciated!

We stayed at the RI SW for our Christmas 2012 trip. You can check out the link in my signature which will take you to my trip report. It includes lots of pictures of both the room and common areas, as well as a full write up of our stay.

We liked it. It was a good home base. And you can't beat the inclusions....a full hot buffet breakfast is included, plus free internet, free parking, a fully separate bedroom, and all the great SW onsite hotel perks (free Quick Queue and early entry on select dates, in particular).

We also enjoyed having the full sized fridge .

The front desk staff were super friendly.

Have you looked into the Springhill Suites? They also have free breakfast and get good reviews on tripadvisor. They are an official SW hotel as well so you get all the bennies there. They seem to be really cheap, maybe they would work for you?

I haven't stayed at that particular RI, but I've stayed at many others, and never been disappointed, so you can't go wrong with RI.

Thank you both!

Gina..I remember your trip report now! Sounds like a great time!

I will check Springhill Suites, but think I am also going to book RI. Gets good reviews and we like RI in general. As long as no one is telling me to run from it, I think it will be great.

RI, is a great chain in the US. We always choose RI when we travel in the states.

We stayed there and had no complaints. I stay in Residence Inn many places and this one had the most extensive breakfast offerings I've seen. It is a newest hotel and very nice.

I stay in Spring Hill Suites once in a while, but the rooms are usually smaller than the ones in the Residence Inns.
