Disney Area Suites
Here we will try to clarify and define
what a 'Suites' property actually is and where to find them in the
other categories.
The description of 'Suites' is a
collection of rooms including full cooking facilities designed for
family use and with the entire property being 'Kid Friendly'.
They should include, at least, a living area and 1 bedroom.
Another way to explain it is an area where a family can have their
own space and that is more suited to a longer stay.
The property should have an abundance of services for Kids, games
rooms, in room Video with rental, some even having their own
check-in area etc. --- ---
The subject of 'Suites' has long been a bone of contention among
many visitors to the area, not to mention the businesses themselves.
One of the primary reasons for this is that no matter how many
materials a property may use in a room diagram, or in an accurate
description of their room types, it is amazing how many visitors are expecting something completely different...
In a final analysis, it seems to just come down to the word itself
and how it is used.
'Kids Suites', 'Open L-Shaped Suites' and 'Inns & Suites' are mostly
comprised of Hotel rooms with a few 'efficiencies'.
Defining
'efficiencies' is a little hard. It's a little 'old school' these
days. A hark back to earlier times attempts to make a room more
homely. Efficiencies rooms included cooker, sink etc. These days, if
the word Suites is over used and more a marketing phrase. think the
same of 'efficiencies'.
Rooms that include 'Mini-Refrigerator', 'Microwave' or even a
'Fully-Equipped Kitchen' do not fit our bill, as they do not have
separate bedrooms.
Many accommodations that are listed as Suites may not include
crockery and cutlery. Some have these to rent, some not. Seems to
indicate that they are intended for either owners of mobile homes or
for you to use the on-site restaurant for most all of your needs.
The above properties can be found in their respective
categories under
Hotels or
Motels
where these features will be listed as an amenity rather than an
accommodation type.--- --- There are others that would fit this requirement e.g. cabins,
cottages, vacation homes and villas. For us, Suites are housed in
one property that will have other facilities and are more like
apartments than hotel rooms.
