other hotels

[Dave Baker]

The "Crowne Plaza Orlando - Downtown" is probably the best choice.

http://www.hotels.com/hotel/details.html?tab=description&hotelId=229162&arrivalDate=06-22-14&departureDate=06-25-14&rooms[0].numberOfAdults=2&roomno=1&validate=false&previousDateful=false&reviewOrder=date_newest_first

It's about two blocks further away than the Marriott Courtyard, but it's 
considerably closer than the Travelodge. Hotels.com says it's available 
at $93/night, and that the Marriott Courtyard is $161.
