The Swan or Westin Grand Bohemian?

If you had a free night coming which hotel would you choose?

I have stayed at the swan and it was nice...I think it,s pretty much like any onsite hotel ...Overpriced Great location if you plan on going to epcot ot over to the boardwalk and some great restraunts.(remind me to tell you about Shula's this past MLK weekend)I have not stayed at the other one...Sorry.I would go for the other if i was not going to disney....

I LOVE the Swan! If you want to visit WDW, stay there. Isn't the Westim Grand Bohemian in Orlando? Too far from anything I would want to see.

Yeah, the real Orlando is soooo boring. Tourists....

The Westin is the nicest hotel in Orlando not affiliated with any theme parks. I'd stay there if you don't mind being downtown.

I don't think Nancy was slamming your city. A lot of people think that WDW in in Orlando, but we know it is in Lake Buena Vista, quite a ways south of the Grand Bohemian.

I have heard great things about the Westin but cannot justify staying so far from where I plan to do the majority of my touring. However,if you have a free night and don't plan on doing "Disney", than this would be a great hotel to experience.

There's also a fairly upscale mall not too far. The Millenia Mall is located north of Universal Studios and can be reached by taking exit 78 (Conroy Road) of I-4.

We've checked it out and found it a nice diversion. Medium (Gap) to high-end (Neiman-Marcus) stores, two stories, and nice food court.

Also nearby are a Super Target and a BJ's Warehouse. Lot's of good restaurants as well.
