Where to stay offsite near Universal for family of 5-CHEAP

[Nancy for Disney]

Looking to stay 2 nights near Universal. We have two teens so we need at least a 2 room suite. Considering doing the Buena Vista Suite deal that is seen on DIS. Anything similar near Universal or will this be close enough?

Thanks!

Hawthorn Suites and Lexington Suites have suites and are close to Universal.

Residence Inn sometimes runs good deals on Travelzoo. Comfort Suites has two queens and a sleeper sofa and is pretty reasonable.

The Holiday Inn universal main gate has great entertainment card rates for 1 & 2BR suites.
