Is there a safe, clean hotel that sleeps 5 and is within walking distance to DL? Can't really justify $350+ a night. Looking to go next June. Looked into the HoJo based on info I found here, and while it says it sleeps 5, I'm only seeing 2 beds (no sofabed, correct?).
Park Vue is $219/night for 2Q, 1 Bunk, or $254 for a 2-room suite (either 3Q, or 2Q w/ sofa sleeper), for a weekend in June. It's immediately across the street, and has a free hot breakfast, which could save some serious cash if you have teenagers, haha!
Our family LOVES Park Vue Inn ("PVI"). You can't get closer--its literally at the light for the pedestrian entrance. It was renovated about 3-5 years ago. It's clean, small, and has a great staff. The rooms are fairly big compared to some of the other motels in the area. While it only has 1 bathroom, there are plenty of places to get ready--two sinks outside the bathroom to brush teeth, and a mirror above one sink and another mirror on the closet door for hair and makeup. The bathroom also has a sink and mirror, and a bathtub in case it's needed for littles. Linens are soft, and towels are large enough to cover my plus-sized booty. Their staff is very accommodating in our experience (opening up a room after we checked out and I realized I lost my engagement ring in there, or when my dad wanted to pay for a night of our honeymoon stay but they needed our permission to do it, calling in evenings to make sure we don't need anything). Floors are clean (passes my white-sock test fairly well; the one time out of four that it didn't pass my sock test, it was their jacuzzi suite, and it was up for refurbishment right after our stay, so shoes+wet floors from an in-room jacuzzi+old carpet+rarely used room= hard to clean the carpet well). The pool is in the parking lot (pretty common with motels on Harbor that are under $300/night), however, the brick-and-ivy makes it feel a little more private than it really is. It's our favorite go-to!
Let me know if you want pictures of the 2Q+sleeper sofa suite. We've stayed there a few times, so we have several pictures.
