We have just stayed here for 1 week and found this property to be outstanding value for what it offers.

We paid £49 a night with Bon Voyage.

The hotel looks brand new and is smart from the outside.
The lobby and breakfast area is of a very high standard.

The rooms are of the highest quality and extremely well equipped.

On entering you go into a lounge/kitchen which has a sofabed,armchair and a massive television with movies etc.
There is a counter with a sink,hob,microwave,coffee maker and dishwasher as well a s free popcorn.
There is seating at a table and you get a free newspaper.

The bedroom has a huge bed,wardrobe,safe and another tele.
There is a sink area and a bathroom with toilet and shower.

The decor is extremely pleasant,none of those bright flowery 1960 curtain type patterns.

There is a gym,a pool and laundry.

Free breafast is includes and consists of cereal,bagels,donuts,coffee,hot waffles,eggs and fried products.
Basically everything you could want.

On weekday evenings between 5 and 7 you can get free snacks and drinks including beer.

A shuttle runs daily to all the parks.

The hotel is well situated on i drive just behind Cattlemans about a 10 minute walk to the pointe.

How this property is only a 3 star i will never know,it easily had 4 star quality in our opinion.

A great place to stay at an incredible rate

Thanks Paul and Rachel -just what I was waiting to hear. I will be staying there 7 nights before staying on site in Disney for 10. I have never seen adverse reports about this hotel. You would stay again then?

I would stay here again without hesitation.

This Hotel/Suites is very very good 3 star.

It is better than many 4 stars i have stayed in.

I was there in 2001 with DH, DD & DS, and we thought it was excellent. Staff so helpful, spacious suites, 2 tvs, full-size fridge and the location meant we could walk to all our favourite restaurants. You could also get free tea and coffee all day in the lobby. I've nothing negative to say about it.
Cheers,
Sandra

Glad you had a great time and that you loved Homewood Suites - we're booked to go there for two weeks in and June and your posting has made me even more excited! :D

Can I ask you some questions please?

Did you take a car? If not was the Shuttle adequate? What type of vehicle was it? WE have a 2 year old and I'm a bit worried that we might be better of with a car - but don't really want one.

What restaurants and nearby? Can you get to lots of places on I-drive by foot from the hotel?

Sorry for the 20 questions!

Thanks for any more info you might be able to give me.

We're booked with Bon Voyage too, were you impressed with them?
