With three 10-story buildings surrounding a private lake, an office, restaurant, and recreation area, this all-suites lodging is less a hotel than a condominium complex. Here, what you would spend for a normal room in a fancy hotel gets you an apartment with a living room, a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and small terraces with lake views. KidsQuarter suites, which can sleep six, have small children's rooms with bunk beds and whimsical murals of Shamu. There's free transportation to Universal, SeaWorld, and Wet 'n Wild. Pros: good deals on spacious suites; within walking distance of I-Drive eateries and attractions; free breakfast; free shuttle to Universal, SeaWorld, and Wet 'n Wild. Cons: area traffic can be a hassle.
