Orlando hotel - which one???

Hi, please help me choose!

1. Royal Parc Suites

2. Radisson Resort in Celebration

3. Holiday Inn Express, Lake Buena Vista

4. Palomino Suites, Lake Buena Vista

If anyone has first-hand experience staying at the hotels RECENTLY, please share your experience, esp. if baad.

I'm looking for hassle-free complimentary shuttles to the Disney parks, free internet access in room, good breakfast, and easy access to Downtown Disney.

Would like to reserve soon, appreciate quick replies.

Many thanks!

We stayed at Palomino Suites. It was nice but I would say the Hawthorn Suites across the street was even nicer.

Both are basic suites...no frills..no big fancy pool. But for us the suite was more important and the location was great. I thought the breakfast at Hawthorn was better then Palomino. All in all, if Palomino is a choice, I wouldn't hesitate to go stay there again because due to price, location and being a suite.

If you'd like easy access AND complimentary shuttles then your best bet would be to stay either inside the DisneyWorld park or to stay in Lake Buena Vista. I believe that's the only place that shuttles you to the Expo, MGM, etc.

I just came back from a trip to Orlando and we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, Lake Buena Vista. I completely recommend this hotel-great location (between both parks so it was perfect for us), lots of restaurant and entertainment options next door, a great breakfast and the most comfortable beds I ever slept on for a holiday inn express.

The price was great and there is shuttle service to Disney daily. Ther is free internet access in the room, and I think the shuttle goes to Downtown Disney.

I enjoyed it very much.

The town of Celebration is wonderful. I love it. There are great cafes along main st with reasonable prices. I am not sure of the hotel though. If you are looking to be close to Disney I would go for either of the Lake Buena Vista hotels. Celebration is not too far but Lake Buena Vista is right next to Downtown Disney. May I recommend a hotel not on your list? I stayed at the Sheraton Safari hotel which is just down the road from Downtown Disney and with kids it would be a good hotel. The breakfast was fine and the service was very nice. I believe they do shuttles to Disney also.
