Recent Buena Vista Suites Review: "We had called ahead to advise that we were meeting friends at the hotel, who had booked separately, and asked for rooms close by. Upon our 9a.m. arrival, we were given our room, right across the hall from our friends' room, 6 hours before the regular check-in time. We were also encouraged to avail ourselves of the free continental breakfast, which was  especially nice since we weren't supposed to be checked-in yet. The breakfast was very nice. Both days they had eggs (scrambled or cooked to order), bagels, toast, oatmeal, cereal, fruit, yogurt, and donuts. They alternated sausage or ham (and probably bacon), and French toast or pancakes, depending on the day. The rooms were fairly large, and it was nice to have the separate sleeping area to put the kids down to bed while the adults could stay up in another room and talk. The bedding was very plush (though the thin foam pillows could use an upgrade), and the mattresses comfy. Plenty of room in the sleeping area for a pack n play, once we moved the chair into the "sitting room". It would have been nice if there was a small dining table and chairs instead of the desk, though. Everything seemed clean and well-maintained. There were more than enough blankets, towels, etc. Having a refrigerator and microwave was wonderful, traveling with a toddler, and there was a CVS and 7-11 right across the street. Completely unimpressed with the hotel restaurant, which was a bit pricey for the food that was served. Pistachio-crusted tuna with gnocchi for nineteen dollars isn't outrageous, but it is when the food is served cold and takes thirty minutes to arrive after a long day at Disney. The service was wonderful, though. In fact, every staff member we encountered was helpful and pleasant (with the lone exception of the people working at the Hertzr counter, just inside the entrance doors - though I'm not sure they worked for the hotel). One word of caution - even though the hotel is very close to Disney, there are long stretches (2-5"
