B Resort & Spa

The onetime Royal Plaza Hotel (built in 1972), convenient to both I-4 and Disney Springs, was once an old, finicky 17-story tower that has been reformed into an agreeable Miami-flavored family resort on a budget. It feels a bit airier than the usual tired bed bunkers around here. King rooms are much larger than double-queen ones, but all are sizable with a mini-cooler, and higher-floor “Stunning” (that’s the name) rooms claim views. Ringing the zero-entry pool, “Chic” rooms come with bunk beds. The B stands apart from others in Disney Springs for providing a grown-up stay that’s still family-friendly. If you stay here, you’re allowed into the Disney theme parks 30 minutes early.  Resort fee warning: $34/night.
