the Ren at the airport has a CL. the hotel was recently (last 2 years???) remodeled so the rooms are fairly nice. I have stayed here several times, and the treatment for elites is good.

there is a decent selection of restaurants (chain) in the area - all price ranges. if you are going to go to Cocoa Beach or Tampa, the location is not bad. if you are going to be Disney /Universal only, it will be a PiTA. Tolls are a pain, and to take a different route isn't really convenient.

the disney area is just not the best to successfully take advantage of a CL, and although hhoope01 is giving you great advice on RI, they will be packed during that timeframe. You'll NOT have a relaxing atmosphere.

I had a similar situation earlier this year - Had to go at spring break (the 2nd busiest time of the year) and after weighing options /costs / crowds rented a 2story townhouse. 4br, 3bath, with a private plunge pool for the individual house and also a huge resort pool. Cost was $125. per night. Best money I ever spent.

whatever you do, decide soon.....
