Ramada Maingate West
This hotel offers a great location on the road that passes through the southern end of the Walt Disney World Resort property. Though traffic can sometimes be heavy, the location and convenience are hard to beat. Disney has five golf courses, all of which are challenging but also set up for different skill levels. If you are looking for a motel near Disney, but off the resort property, this is a good choice. In addition to the local golf offerings, this hotel offers complimentary Internet access, along with a business center and shuttle to many of Orlando's attractions for an additional fee. A fitness center, for those wanting to stay in shape between tee times, also is on the premises. An indoor pool, virtually unheard of in Central Florida, also is featured, along with an outdoor pool and game room for the kids.
