Frommer's Highly Recommended

This 12-acre lakefront hotel is reasonably modern, with nicer rooms and public areas than you might find in others within the chain (they were last renovated, to good effect, in 2003). Rooms are located in an 18-story tower, and all have balconies. The views improve from the eighth floor and up, and those on the west side have a better chance of seeing something Disney. Accommodations in this category are usually a step above the "moderates" inside WDW, and this one is not an exception. You can reserve an oversize room (about 20% larger) or a WDW fireworks-view room for a few dollars more a night. Note: It definitely pays to surf the corporate website at www.bestwestern.com if you plan to stay here. It sometimes offers great deals and special rates for this hotel. Facilities: Restaurant; grill; outdoor heated pool; kids' pool; arcade; guest-services desk; complimentary Wi-Fi; complimentary bus service to WDW parks; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; rental car desk; babysitting (fee); limited room service; laundry service; valet
