The Buena Vista Suites is a great option if you don't want to pay the $$$ to stay at the Disney Resorts. The best price I found was on the hotel website. It's very close to all the parks, I used a rental car so can't speak to the shuttle bus service

The room was very comfortable and exactly as advertised. We had two queen beds with the bathroom separating the bedroom and living room which included a small refrigerator, sink and microwave. The fold out sofa bed in the living room wasn't extremely comfortable but was servicable.

The free breakfast buffet was the best by far that I've ever had at a hotel. There were an assortment of pastries, scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, hash, biscuits, sausage gravy and either bacon or ham. Also a kitchen making eggs to order, and there was an assortment of cereals and fruit. We would hit the breakfast early and grab a snack while in the Disney parks, great way to cut down on some of the costs of the trip.

The only complaint we had was with the sound level of adjoining rooms' water. If the toilet was flushed or the shower was running the sound was very loud, but we never heard our neighbors talking or their television.

We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

My family stayed here for 5 nights in March 2008. Great location, near all parks, restaurants, etc. Kids loved having their own room with a TV, fridge, sink, desk, etc.
Free hot breakfast every day was really nice and conveinent. We didn't have to wait on a line for a table or food. Freindly staff helped us with everything we needed.
Only negative is that the in room safe is extra. Should be included in the room price. Otherwise good place to stay while visiting Disney.

Stayed this week for my husband's business conference. Bus provided free with long waits to the Convention Center. Internet $9.99 a day. Front desk staff very warm and friendly each time I passed by. Some people commented on its location as convenient but on a busy corner with much traffic. Lobby minimal (wifi there is $6.99) but current upholstery, etc. But as for the rooms, the furniture is in bad need of a remodel/
refresh, small older TVs, grout in bath needs a cleanup, and it is the basic formica world. Yes, there is a separate living room with a door that closes between living and bed room. Very average and would not recommend to friends...especially after my husband told me that the rate was $169.00!! His business travel agent is not looking for the best rate evidentally as I checked dates immediately after our visit and they were $129.00. Frankly I would give it a rate of the $89.00 at best.

We enjoyed a three day stay here in February. Weather was geat and so was the hotel. Big room, comfortable bed, nice full free breakfast, heated pool and jacuzzi, shuttle to Disney, etc. The staff was very helpful and there was plenty of parking. Like one other reviewer noted, the clothes dryers on the 4th floor was a bit slow and it took two tries to dry a load. It's sure nice to have four washers and dryers to choose from (2 on floor 1 and 2 on floor 4). The hotel has seen a lot of use, but they have a good maintenance policy as it does not have a worn appearance. There is a nice Irish restaurant down the street - Frankie Farrell's Irish Pub & Grille.
