A bright yellow facade fronted by palm trees welcomes you to this six-story, family-friendly hotel. Furnishings are simple, but rooms are large, with either two queen beds or one king. Suites, which have full kitchens, are a bargain at about $170 a night -- even in high season. A stay here puts you a block from the Mercado shopping and dining complex. Universal, SeaWorld, and Wet 'n Wild are all within 2 mi. Pros: very economical; less than a block from I-Drive; free theme-parks shuttle. Cons: I-Drive traffic can be heavy; Disney is 30 minutes away.
