I had stayed at Best western on my last trip and loved it, but sadly there are no rooms available for my dates (jun13-17) Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Originally Posted By ImTempest I've stayed at the Park Vue several times in the past year and loved it. Our rooms were clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the staff was great. Another big plus for us was the location right across the street. After a long day in the parks, having the hotel so close was wonderful!

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I've been satisfied with the Fairfield, the Camelot, and especially the Candy Cane. It's the farthest walk (though no further than HoJo's) but they have a dedicated (i.e. doesn't stop anywhere else) shuttle if you prefer. They also have a better breakfast than most and are very friendly. The Camelot is the closest of the three I mentioned. Nothing special, but clean and decent if you just need a place to lay your head.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance We love Park Vue, and it's much closer than Hojo's. There really isn't any hotel closer than the Park Vue. We thought it was clean and spacious. We are staying there again in October. Free breakfast which isn't amazing, but it's free and they have a nice rooftop terrace to eat on/watch fireworks. But we stayed at Hojo's before too and really liked it. It's just not worth the extra walk for us. But if you have little kids with you, they LOVE the pool play area at Hojos.

I probably won't stay anywhere else.
Originally Posted By tizl We also loved the Park Vue! It's the closest you can get, and has a great cont. breakfast. We had to stay at the Del Sol last year because the Park Vue was booked solid nearly a year in advance! We enjoyed it there as well, though the cont. breakfast wasn't as good, and the dining room for it was tiny. If we can we will always stay at the Park Vue.

Originally Posted By Disney Joy I use to stay at Park Vue .. prices a lot higher now. I tried the Best Western Park Place INN... Love it ... been staying there a few or so years now. It is right at the corner to walk across to DL. The closest place to DL buT Park Vue is right there also. I always book for the next year when I leave as the prices increase the closer you get to staying .. with any of the hotels/motels. I was thinking about the special at Tropicana but on Trip Advisors . there is a actual traveler picture with a couple roaches coming out the desk clock. Not sure how long ago. Just do research. tripadvisors.com has actual reviews from people who just stayed at most of the properties.
