Hyatt Place Convention Center - Orlando, FL
One of our favorite locations to stay while in the Orlando area is on the south end of International Drive, near the Orange County Convention Center. That part of "I-Drive" is newer and far less gaudy than the north end. We’ve stayed at most of the hotels here at one time or another and AmeriSuites is one of the better bargains on International Drive.
For those of you that require a suite rather than a room, AmeriSuites is an excellent choice. You get a bedroom, living room and kitchen for a little more than the cost of a room. A hot breakfast and newspaper every morning and a manager’s reception (free drinks and snacks!) every Wednesday are just a few of the extras.
Comfort Inn - Lake Buena Vista, FL
Lake Buena Vista is one of the areas lodging meccas with dozens of motels within sight distance of each other. The Comfort Inn is a large (640 rooms), clean, inexpensive motel, with a surprising number of amenities (heated pool, restaurant, gift shop). In fact, it may have some of the best rates in the area. If you’re simply looking for a place to sleep, this Comfort Inn is a great choice.
The Peabody - Orlando, FL
This hotel is without question the nicest, most elegant hotel we have stayed at! The high-rise hotel is truly grand and immacculate, with soft lighting accentuating the marble floors and walls in the lobby area. The grounds are lush and tropical, with large fountains flanking the entrance. The staff is excellent; very knowledgable and very willing to help. Courteous, too. Beds are the most comfortable you can ever find of any hotel, anywhere. More comfortable than home!
Towneplace Suites by Marriott - Burlington, VT
In an area where lodging can be quite expensive, Towneplace Suites was reasonably priced and well worth the stay. This suite hotel is actually located in Williston, about 1 mile off of I-89, exit 12 and about 7 miles from downtown Burlington.
Check in was quick and the desk attendant was very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking too. All accommodations offer complimentary high speed wifi. They have a nice selection of cable TV channels. Studios, One and two bedroom suites are available. We stayed in a two beedroom suite that was clean and comfortable… especially sleeping! The beds were excellent, with plenty of down-filled pillows and an extremely comfortable mattress… and very quite at night (no road noise).
Staybridge Suites - Orlando, FL
This is our favorite suite hotel on International Drive. Each Summerfield Suite has two seperate bedrooms and a comfortable living room with fully equiped kitchen. You can comfortably sleep up to 8 people. The heated swimming pool, wading pool and whirlpool are located in a nicely landscaped interior courtyard. The grounds are also heavily landscaped… it’s just a very comfortable atmosphere. There are plenty of the usual amenities. Let’s see… Oh yes, a free continental breakfast buffet every morning too!
