We paid around $130 (AAA rate I think) in late February, which seemed good until I later saw notes on this board about how we should have done even better. But when I checked out, the clerk commented on how that seemed like a surprisingly good rate -- not sure if this was true, or lip service.

Good points: very nice rooms in the kidsuite - spacious, separate closed-off master bedroom, nintendo 64; great pool; decent location for Disney.

Bad points: too little parking near some of the rooms, such that we had to walk maybe 10 minutes to get to our room one night; incredibly slow check-in/check-out; restaurant too crowded and hectic and not kept clean enough, so we ended up blowing off our free breakfasts.

We'd probably stay there again, or certainly in a place like it -- I heard Marriott has a similar setup in Orlando somewhere.

We went from there to another Holiday Inn in Tampa, which advertised a kidsuite but which was really a regular hotel room with an extra space at the end for a bunk bed -- not a "suite" in any sense of the word. Still, it let us spread out since now we had two Q beds and a bunk bed.
