Nick Hotel - Any Thoughts - Experiences

You're not going to believe this, but we have no intention of hitting Disney this time around. We wil spend about 2 days just bumming around the hotel, 1 day at Universal and one day at either at Sea World or Wet 'N Wild. If I can sneak out alone for a few hours one night, I will consider myself lucky. To be honest, my job has been very stressful lately, and I need to shut down for a few days.

Even though I like water parks, particularly those with heated water, I will be forced to supress my park urges for the trip. I know, I know it's Orlando. It's like being at the buffet, but unable to eat anything. At least the hotel has heated water for thier slides when needed. At that price I should be able to slide directly from my room.

Though we all know that as soon as I see the brochures in the airport, blood lust will take over and the adrenaline will pump for coasters.

I'll do the opposite of you actually Richie. My next trip to Orlando, I'll be doing 1-2 days of Disney, BGT, Sea World, Cypress Gardens. I'm just burned out from Universal.

I just booked the aforementioned (see above) Red Roof Inn (International Drive) for my planned 2 visits to Orlando in 2006!

My 1st week is June 29th through July 6th (a nice 4th of July get-away)!

My 2nd week is Dec 25th through Jan 1st 2007 (bet it won't be crowded then)!

***At these peak times I'm paying $29.95 per night! This is not a typo! I'm paying $29.95!

I would love to try out other places in the Orlando area…but the value I get at the Red Roof Inn Hawaiian Court makes it impossible for me to look, let alone stay, anywhere else!

...read above for info about the refurbished rooms/etc! This place is far from a dump (and believe me…this cheapo Motel 6 type knows his dumps)!

In fact…I would call it downright nice! I’d not feel cheated paying $80-90 plus per (not that I would though)…. ;-)

For other value oriented consumers...CALL THE HOTEL DIRECTLY and ask for the WEEKLY RATE! This has worked for me for years!

***I swear that this is a clean place with a pool/spa and GREAT location to ALL the parks and International Drive! You can walk to Sea World (about 3/4ths mile)! *** Edited 1/12/2006 10:04:48 PM UTC by Jeffrey R Smith***
