Aventura Hotel

Which is a big bonus considering the hassle it is to take the bus. Leaving anytime near closing is a cluster.

We stayed at Sapphire Falls and just walked back through the CB exit after hearing from everyone here how bad that is. Plead the 5th on whether we used the pedestrian bridge :whistle:

That sounds better than when we stayed at SF, went downstairs and walked a bit...got trapped (no more safe walking areas) around the convention center. It would have been quicker if we had just walked over to RP’s VB pickup...or if we had just been smart enough to go the the third floor (maybe 4th) floor (lobby) exit in the first place....but construction will be done at some point and the walk will be easier from these two than the CB walk on the other side of the street!

Soon you will need a spreadsheet to decide where to stay. price, EP, VB access, water taxi, CW access, which park to be close to, onsite restaurants, theme, etc, etc.

:ack:

Too many wood colors that are that are not complimentary and a complete lack of wall art.

It's like the world's cheapest corporate wholesale desk "workstation" piece atop some halfway decent flooring and then they forgot to decorate the rest of the room.

You live in a Sad Boy House don't you?

No, I live in a house with my girlfriend, but thanks.

Looks pretty good for a Value priced on site room.

It looks easy to clean... with a garden hose. Because it doesn't have any decor.

Good HHN/event long weekend hotel.

Yup, easy to hose down.

We get it dude. Stop.

 

[HailSouthern84]

I’m sold. I like the look and the feel of the hotel (from what I see in the pictures). Looking forward to staying at it.

 

[Captain Tragedy]

I like it for what it's supposed to be. Could not give less of a crap for decor. It's a room I pass out in after too much horrah. Price is really good too.

I'm sold on it. Looks like I'll be doing 5 days at Universal and 10 days at Disney next year.

 

[JungleSkip]

Seriously though, this is the perfect HHN home base for me. Walkable to Volcano Bay and can take the boats home from HHN? Sign me up.

Better yet, stay there for 15 days and drive up to Disney for 10. Entrance ramp to I4 is right there and the drive to WDW is about 15-20 minutes.

It really comes down to if Disney Dining is available again as I think that justifies the cost. The amount of days might vary but I want to give it a shot.

I had planned on skipping next year and returning in 2019 for Star Wars but I think I'll do California and Vegas then and get the best of both worlds.
