We recently returned from the Residence Inn Lake Buena Vista North. This hotel was recently built and is conveniently located to all the major attractions. I will try to cover all the basics about the place:
Location:
The hotel is located off Palm Parkway, about 1/2 a mile past the Hampton Inn and Hawthorn Suites. We were able to go South on Palm Parkway to get into Downtown Disney or North on Palm Parkway to get to the Universal Studios area or Sea World.
Facilities:
The hotel was well equipped with more then we expected. First of all it was tropically decorated....some type of a Caribbean theme.
They offered a breakfast buffet in the morning. It was a hot buffet with a wide variety of fruits, breads, juices, and plenty of other stuff.
In the evening there was a manager's reception daily. We were never at the hotel to enjoy it, but understand there were pizza days, spaghetti days, hot dog days, etc....there was also free alcoholic beverages.
There was free shuttle service that provided round-trip service to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT Center, MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom. We never used the system as we had our own car, and found it easier to drive on our own.
The pool area was large and landscaped with tropical trees and waterfalls, etc. There were always a lot of people enjoying the sundeck and pool.
Other facilities included fitness center, discount tickets desk, business center, jogging trail, sport court and meeting space.
Accommodations:
We stayed in a studio-suite which featured a King-size bed, full-size kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, stove-top, kitchen sink and all the cooking supplies that we would need. There was a living area with tv, couch and seperate dining table. The suite was oversized and more then met our needs. It was well decorated too! We did not see any other suites, but found out that they also have family suites, and two-bedroom suites, and several other room types.
Price:
I think we got a great price. It was $79 which we made a few months ago through the hotels website. Their site is http://www.residenceinnlbv.com. I know they are listed on other sites, but found their site to have the best rates. As always, shop around.
I think I covered all the bases.....if I left anything out, please let me know.
