Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resort is a three-and-a-half pearl property located a 10- to 15-minute drive from the main Disney parks. Unsurprisingly, it attracts lots of vacationing families. The 486 rooms have contemporary decor and balconies, and some have sofa beds and bunk beds for kids. Other features include two gorgeous lagoon pools, one with a 79-foot waterslide and the other with a games section for volleyball, not to mention an excellent, modern fitness center open around the clock and a small spa. There's also a poolside restaurant/bar along with a main restaurant, and room service is available. Expect to pay a daily resort fee and extra for parking. Overall, it's a good choice for families wanting a great pool and easy access to Disney attractions, but adults (particularly business travelers) may prefer the nearby and quieter Courtyard by Marriott instead.

The 150-room, three-pearl Staybridge Suites Lake Buena Vista is a top-notch, mid-range hotel in a very convenient location. It’s not luxurious by any measure, but it delivers good overall value with clean and spacious apartment-style units with full kitchens and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. The free hot breakfast and free shuttle add value; however there’s no on-site restaurant (only a breakfast room) or bar, and some guests find the lack of elevators inconvenient. Rates are attractive, but there's a lot of competition in the area, including the Holiday Inn Orlando-Disney Springs Area, which offers a good alternative with similar rates plus a restaurant/bar and elevators.
