Simple hotel along I-4

[HeiHei2018]

I am thinking of driving in the night before our on-site stay to ropedrop TL. Does anyone have thoughts on the hotels along I-4 east of Disney? I see Hilton Garden Inn LBV, Springhill Suites LBV, Residence Inn LBV, Aloft LBV, Fairfield Inn LBV, and Hyatt Place LBV. We just need clean and quiet. Hotels.com says all have free parking and breakfast. Thinking $100 would be a good investment to avoid leaving home at 6:30 am.

I would go to each their websites to verify the free parking and breakfast. And verify any resort fees, some have been quietly adding both in recent years. We stayed at the HGI several times but don't anymore since they adding $27 parking fees.

Thanks for the heads up. I will check the individual websites.

I know there are two Holiday Inn Express locations east of I-4, close enough to Disney. One is on I-Drive, and the other is along 525 south of Vineland Ave. Both hotels are still close enough to TL despite being outside of Disney. Both offer free breakfast.

We stayed one night at Hyatt House Orlando / International Drive before checking into Disney. I believe it has no resort fee, but we booked on points so double check that. Free breakfast and free parking. It was clean, and we had no issues.

Thanks for the recommendation. Did you use the sofa bed? It looks like they only have king + sofa bed, and the comfort on those can be highly variable.

We didn't use the sofa bed. But we thought it was so convenient we are staying there again for one night before we check into Disney at the end of October. If you are not traveling for a while, I could check it out and report back.

Circling back in case anyone else is interested. We stayed at the Hampton Inn LBV. It was a little more than other hotels in the area but had stellar reviews. It was fine, but nothing stellar. They added a $7 per night parking fee that is not listed on their website. There were signs in the lobby stating there was a fee not listed on their website. The room was standard and quiet. There were Mickey waffles for breakfast, but we did not love the flavorings. In the future, I will try the Extended Stay America next door, which looked tidy on the outside and would have been $40 cheaper.
