Don't miss: be sure to check their website(comfortinnorlando.com) periodically-you can beat the rates of most travel agencies if your timing is correct-I made my reservation through choicehotels.com in September of last year for $35/night-ended up going directly to their website and got a room for $31/night-great deal!

Room Location Suggestion: We were located on the second floor of the first building beside the main building-very close to the elevator :)

The Mouse For less Tip: keep checking website

Comments: very highly recommended in relationship to WDW and not far from Universal either!

Don't Miss: Family Fun Suite was great for the kids! They thought they were in heaven with their own bunk bed and TV!!!

Room Location Suggestion: 1st floor, especially if you have little ones. We were able to pull up right in front of our room and unload sleeping kids right into our room!

The Mouse For less Tip: : When checking rates, be sure to check the resorts website and call them directly to get the best rate. Don't forget to bring VHS movies for the little ones to play in their VCR!

Comments: For the price we paid, this resort was great! That being said, I must say that I found it be more like a motel than a resort. The maintenance of the room lacked attention to detail - the back of the TV was VERY dusty as was the carpet along the floorboards and in the corners. Drawer space and hanging space was limited, but that was easily resolved by purchasing a 12 pack of plastic hangers at Goodings which isn't too far away.

The Family Fun Suite had a fridge, microwave and coffee maker, all of which were put to good use by our family. We had breakfast in our room almost every day. There was also a wall safe with a key lock which was big enough to hold a camera and wallets when necessary. The parking lot is secure, with a guard posted at the entrance and another who we observed patroling the lot at night. We only used the pool once and didn't get a chance to use the playground, but it looked nice. Overall, an excellent value, especially if you're going to be out touring most of the time.
