We just returned and spent our first three nights at the new Res. Inn Lake Buena Vista North location, mostly because we had some Marriott CG's to use. Boy were we impressed with the place! We had a two bedroom two bathroom suite which we got for $105/night. It had three TV's, a VCR, a stove, microwave, and fridge. The free breakfast bufett also had a nice selection of items including eggs, pancakes, sausage, waffles, fruit, yogurt, bagels, and cold cereals. It was a great way to start the day. Although we didn't use the pools, we did check them out. They do have both a small circular kiddie pool and a hot tub that is behind the big boulders that border one side of the pool. The pool itself (Which was open till 10 each night) was a decent size and felt nice and warm. It really wasn't themed like the Disney pools but was still very nice. Two things did stand out about this place though: The staff was very friendly and seemed to really care that your stay went well. Also the beds were just unbelievable. They would form fit to your body and provided for an amazing restful sleep. We also stayed at the Poly on this trip and longed for the beds at the Res. Inn! Due to its location I think that a rental car is a must as it is pretty much all by itself on Palm Parkway but all in all it is a great place to stay!
