Advantages: Spacious suites close to Disney Disadvantages: A few miles from International Drive
...The Hawthorn Suites are at 8303 Palm Parkway, Orlando, Florida in the Lake Buena Vista (Walt Disney World) area. Located with the excitement of Orlando on the doorstep the Hawthorn Suites Hotel has wonderful amenities, a warm comfortable atmosphere, and pleasant surroundings. As you would expect from any American hotel a large car park is available on site.
The all-suite hotel is marketed to be a "home away from home." Spacious one and two bedroom suites have a separate living room and bedroom area with a full kitchen. In addition, all room rates include a full, hot American breakfast buffet served daily, a social hour from Monday to Thursday evenings, and a complimentary scheduled shuttle service to the Walt Disney World theme parks.

...Having birthdays within 4 days of each other, Les and I decided a couple of years ago that we would stop exchanging gifts and instead, put the money we would have spent towards a weekend away together. Last year it was New York, this year it was Dublin.

The Comfort Inn hotel in Harrow belongs to a larger chain of hotels, called 'Crimson Hotels'. Crimson Hotels also own the 'Quality hotel' group which is quite well-known in the UK. Overall, the Crimson group is a relatively small company, with hotels in Heathrow, Gatwick, Reading, Coventry and Harrow. But they also have some hotels abroad, in Portugal and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
My review will be specifically of the Comfort Inn hotel in Harrow, as this is where we stayed. As I said at the outset, this hotel is ideally situated, not only for people having to visit the nearby hospital, but also for people on business, those visiting London or even people attending sports fixtures at the nearby Wembley stadium.
The hotel itself is rated three star. It has 73 en-suite bedrooms all of which offer modern facilities...
