The 123-room Quality Suites
Lake Buena Vista is a budget hotel located off the I-4 highway. Spacious, somewhat bland suites include separate living rooms and fully equipped kitchens, though appliances and decor are a bit dated. There's a small outdoor pool and a hot tub, as well as a barbecue area. The hotel also has a business center and small fitness room, plus it offers free shuttles to the Walt Disney World theme parks and free daily breakfast, though guests have complained that the breakfast area often gets crowded. There are several other all-suite properties in the area, such as Embassy Suites Orlando/Lake Buena Vista Resort and the Homewood Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista - Orlando, so travelers might want to compare rates.
Scene
Simple, budget chain hotel with a well-maintained pool area
Guests are greeted in a homey, if dated, lobby that features a big leather couch and a clash of patterns and colors that include a swirl-festooned carpet as well as patterned armchairs and a lavender accent wall bedecked with a framed photo of koi fish. High ceilings and large windows make common spaces like the lobby as well as the breakfast area feel bright and airy. The breakfast room is filled with a collection of laminate tables and wood chairs that provide abundant seating, however many guests complain the area often becomes
crowded during breakfast. The hotel grounds include a lovely pond, manicured lawns, and palm trees dotting the property.

Rooms
Clean, spacious suites with separate living rooms and fully-equipped kitchens
Suites are spacious and traditionally furnished, if a bit dated, with neutral brown and beige hues that include patterned carpets and brown couches, and armchairs in separate living rooms. Crimson accent walls give pops of color and large windows fill the spaces with natural
light. All suites have two 32-inch flat-screen TVs as well as fully-equipped kitchens with tan
granite countertops, full-size refrigerators, microwaves, stoves,
dishwashers, and coffeemakers. Some of the kitchen appliances are a bit dated, however, and could use a refresh. Bathrooms are standard, with granite
vanities and large mirrors, as well as shower/tub combos and a small range of toiletries provided. Lighting is dim, however, and the shower/tubs could use an update.
