Quality Inn & Suites By the Parks
Two pools and a free park shuttle near Disney World
About this hotel
Quality Inn & Suites By the Parks sits about 2.4 kilometres from the Walt Disney World Resort, close enough that the free shuttle to area theme parks is a genuinely short ride rather than a long haul. Two outdoor pools spread guests out better than a single crowded one, and rooms come with a flat-screen cable TV, a work desk and a safety deposit box as standard, with deluxe rooms adding a microwave and refrigerator for anyone who wants to keep snacks or leftovers on hand. Breakfast is a daily grab-and-go rather than a sit-down buffet, but free coffee and weekday newspapers in the lobby cover the basics for an early start. The hotel is also about 13.5 kilometres from the Orlando Premium Outlets and 12.6 kilometres from the Waldorf Astoria Golf Course, with SeaWorld around 17.1 kilometres away and Universal Orlando Resort roughly 22.6 kilometres out, giving guests a reasonable base for more than just a Disney's Blizzard Beach day.

Our take
This hotel suits travellers who want a short, genuinely free shuttle to Walt Disney World Resort and two pools to choose between, worth booking for the combination of proximity and a grab-and-go breakfast that gets everyone out the door early. It is not the pick for guests wanting a sit-down hot breakfast buffet, since the morning offering here stays simple by design, and those who prioritise a fuller breakfast should compare it against other hotels on this list that offer a hot buffet instead.
- ✓Grab breakfast items early if you want the better selection, since the grab-and-go format means the best options can thin out during the busiest check-out hours.
- ✓Book a deluxe room specifically if you want the in-room microwave and refrigerator, since standard rooms here do not carry the same appliances.
- ✓Use the free shuttle for your first Walt Disney World Resort day rather than driving yourself, since the roughly 2.4-kilometre distance makes it one of the shorter shuttle rides on this list.
