FL: Orlando: Best Non-Disney Hotel

Any suggestions for a nice hotel located close to the Disneyworld complex? Ideally, I'm looking for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom suite that will sleep three adults with a reasonable amount of privacy. We're going for 4 nights in mid-January (Friday through Sunday). We are considering the All Star Resort, because it's very reasonable and on-property ($82 per night; we would get two rooms or a family suite at the Music location for $164 per night), but I think that we might get a nicer hotel off property, with a better pool and less children. We've stayed on property before, and still felt that a car was necessary due to the slow and crowded transportation from the value resorts (the deluxe resorts on the monorail system are another story, but we aren't looking to spend a fortune for this particular somewhat spontaneous trip). We are currently booked at the Staybridge Suites in Lake Buena Vista on Suiteside Drive in a 2-bedroom, 2-bath suite with living room and full kitchen (it sleeps 8, even though we're a party of 3 only). It looks pretty nice, with good reviews on TripAdvisor. But I'm wondering if there are better choices. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Marriott has several condo complexes across I-4 from Disney World that would offer 2BR and 2Bath. Don't know the prices on your night. I also would anticipate that you would have nicer pools with fewer children. The condos are listed on their web site. A residence in is N of Lake Buena Vista and a Summerfield is directly across I-4.

We have stayed at Marriott Grande Vista the past two years, and it's a very nice resort. Not sure what the nightly rates are, but if you're a member of Interval International you can probably get a fantastic weekly rate booking it as a Getaway, paying cash instead of using timeshare points/trade.

You may want to try the Homewood Suites.
