We have stayed a number of times at the Clairon Maingate. It is an older hotel but clean and nice. The staff is very friendly. Rates are lower than other locations near there. You can take Sherbert Road from there and be at the Animal Kingdom in about 3 minutes. Also if you happen to have a 5th floor room on the backside in the lower 500s you can see all the fireworks from your window. We would recommend it.
