“Can't wait to go back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

We had such a wonderful stay at this hotel and plan to go back for all of our Disney trips. The hotel was very clean, affordable, and the walk to Downtown Disney was perfect. During our stay we got engaged and Lauren who works in the resturant made our trip extra special, we couldn't have been more suprised of her kindness to people she had just met. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!!! See you next year!

Room Tip: We choose a room with a balcony, with the weather you can't go wrong!

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2012 via mobile

We stayed four nights recently for a trip to Disney. The cost per night was great! The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to Downtown Disney. Also has shuttle service to all of the Disney parks. Would stay again.

Being within a 10 minute walk to Downtown Disney makes it easy to head out and get a quick bite to eat. Plus the shuttles to Disney make for an easy day to get to and from the parks.

We look forward to seeing you soon!!!

“Our Family Vacation to Disneyworld”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

We stayed for 4 nights. We got the room package with breakfast buffet and self parking. It was well worth it. The staff at this Holiday Inn is superb. The breakfast buffet was tasty. The fresh cooked omelet was yum,yum. Zeny and Amelia are super in the restaurant. By the way, the fish and chips and the cheeseburgers are the best. The bed on the 14th floor was firm but very comfortable. The shuttles were great and on time. When we come to Disney again, we are staying with the Holiday Inn LBV.

Room Tip: 14th floor has great balcony views. If you are lucky, you may see the resident hawk. He slept on o...

“Convenient and exceptionally clean and comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

We recently stayed five nights at this hotel. It was extremely clean, comfortable, and the staff was excellent. There was transportation provided to the parks every thirty minutes which was reliable and consistent. In addition to this, the restaurant had a delicious breakfast and you could order waffles and omelets as well as choose bacon, sausage, baked items, grits, etc. We also ate one dinner and one lunch in the restaurant and they were both good as well. When we return to Disney, we will definitely be staying at this hotel. It was especially nice to come to a quiet, calm place at the end of a long day at the parks.

Room Tip: Choose a room with a Downtown Disney view and you will be able to see the fireworks each night. We...
