As it's your 40th, it might be good to go a little more upmarket so I won't bother mentioning the obvious motel type properties such as the Quality Inn Plaza. How about the Rosen Center, Rosen Plaza, Sheraton Studio City (now a Four Points by Sheraton I think) Crowne Plaza Universal (just 5mins walk to I Drive) or even really push the boat out with the Peabody???

Obviously it all depends on budget. The Crowne Plaza Universal is a lovely hotel with great views of the area and is also far enough away from the hustle and bustle of I Drive whilst still being within easy reach. The Rosen Center we loved, it's a bit more business orientated but the welcome and service we got from all staff made us feel totally at home.

Of course there are plenty more options, Hampton Inn might be worth a look for properties in the area.

It might be worth checking with the properies regarding the fridge situation.

Good luck and Happy 40th for April....

See if anything catches your eye in REVIEWS

Does it have to be on international drive?

Hiya, Thank youNo, it's just we had a villa last time which was great! but we are going as a couple this time so thought it would be nice to go somewhere where we can go out and about easily in the evenings.Sharon x

I would say lake buena visa then... are you planning on driving?

I would agree that the Lake Buena Vista area is very nice, but depending on the hotel choice it can be difficult to get about in the evening without a car. International Drive is better for that purpose, with the south end of the main part of I Drive (i.e. south of Sand Lake Road) being far nicer than the north. Plus of course there is the I Drive trolley.

With a car, the options are limitless.

Hi, Yes we will both drive. Laqke Buena vista looks good. Thank you x

It is pricey but if want to treat yourself and be close to walk out at night the hotels in Universal are lovely and walking distance to City Walk - with a variety of restaurants, some shops, cinema, bars etc. There are 3 hotels - Hard Rock Hotel, Royal Pacific Hotel & Portofino Hotel - http://www.universalorlando.com/hotels.html
