Rosen/Clarion LBV or Holiday Inn LBV?
Tied between these two with BA for similar price. 3 adults, 1 child sharing. Our main factor is convenience for WDW. We won’t be hiring a car, but happy to use Uber to supplement hotel shuttles. Any thoughts please?

I’ve stayed in the Clarion and thoroughly enjoyed it. For the price we paid I thought it was very good.
We only used the pool once or twice as we generally only use the hotel as a sleeping base. We also hire a car and it was great for access to disney. On that front I can’t comment on the shuttle service. |

We've Uber'd from there. The cars come very quickly - 2 or 3 minutes, most journeys around $8
We didn't use the shuttles, just Uber for the days when we wanted to have drinks in the parks. |

Hi, we have stayed at the Clarion 4 times and very happy with it. I'm not sure but I think the Holiday inn has internal corridors whereas the Clarion is external. Don't know if this would bother you.

We stayed at the Clarion 2 years ago and thought it was a good hotel basic but clean and comfortable.
Shuttle to Disney was good the first one was about 8am but you needed to be there at least 15 mins before as it was very busy. We used Uber to return at night We would stay there again Can’t help with the other hotel sorry as we’ve never stayed there.

Stayed many times in The Clarion,just changed to The Rosen LBV this week, its a fab hotel in a great location and is also on the Lynx 50 bus route, so very easy to get to Seaworld, Idrive, Florida Mall etc.The security is great here and the outside corridors are no problem.

Are food options within walking distance? Or Uber?
