If you are looking for a clean modern hotel with down to earth prices, Frommer's recommends staying at the Fairfield Inn hotel. Located in a quiet area off of the main drag, the rooms are comfortable and the staff is friendly. Transportation to the Walt Disney parks is available for a small fee and the outdoor heated pool is wonderful to relax in after your busy day of sightseeing. -

- Concierge.com Recommendation: "This gargantuan, 1,406-room resort's staggering 4.5-acre glassed-in atrium is something of a theme park unto itself, sheltering baby alligators, artifacts from Spanish galleon wrecks, a cafe on the deck of a 60-foot-long ship in an artificial bay, and a Spanish-style colonial fort."
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and well appointed (the soundproofing, though, could be a bit better); each has its own balcony. The kids' pool features a huge eight-legged octopus water slide, and cabanas at the adult pool have Internet access."

- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The redecorated rooms are all themed with Nickelodeon colors and characters. An all-new lobby and mall area, filled with restaurants, an arcade, shops, and nightly entertainment (including Studio Nick), have been added."
- Fodor's Choice: "The Nick theme extends everywhere, from the suites, where separate kids' rooms have bunk beds and SpongeBob wall murals, to the two giant pools built up like water parks."
