When I go to Orlando I always use Priceline, where the 2-star hotels in the
Florida Mall area can be had for under $30 per night with kitchenette, and
the 3-star airport hotels can be under $40 per night, and a 3-star near
Disney may go for close to $50.
If you are unable to use Priceline (where representative successful bids are
listed at www.biddingfortravel.com and www.betterbidding.com ) then the
Rodeway International on International Drive is a good option in the mid-$50
range. Rooms have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker, and when I stayed
there everything was perfectly easy and comfortable (and there is a
Starbucks right across the street for the morning jolt) at:
