Where do y'all love to stay at when you're not visiting the Mouse?
Here's my list:
La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe. We stayed there during Spring Break a week ago and loved it. The hotel was right on the plaza, which is where you want to be, and was gorgeous. All of the rooms have unique furniture and the hotel is full of original art. The collection is so good the hotel offers a free art tour. The hotel also offers a scavenger hunt for kids. My sons did it one morning when the weather was lousy and had fun exploring the hotel. The hotel food is delicious as well.
Argonaut Hotel in San Francisco. The nautical theming is fun and sophisticated and the location is excellent. It's within close walking distance of the trolley line, cable car turnaround, and Fisherman's Wharf.
Embassy Suites chain. Each room is a suite which is great when traveling with kids. I love not having to share a room with my kids. The included breakfast is one of the best included breakfasts I've seen. There's a made to order omelet bar and tons of other choices. Whenever we stay there we either skip lunch or each a snack instead of lunch. I especially love the Alexandria, VA and Austin Town Lake locations. The Alexandria one is across the street from a subway stop you can take to DC and a trolley you can take down to Old Town Alexandria. We like to go into Dc for the day and explore Old Town during dinner time. The Austin location is within walking distance of the bridge where the bats live. It's also within a short driving distance of more of the places you'd want to visit in Austin.
