I want to book something.

pitch a tent somewhere.

Should I avoid the Almonte Springs area where I reserved a room at the SpringHill Suites?If you want to be in a (fairly) central location to the parks and stadium, stay towards International Drive. Probably on the more expensive side though. Even down to the Dr. Phillips Blvd area is decent
Downtown Orlando is probably cheaper, and definitely closer to the stadium. Just make sure you are staying East of l-4.
If you don’t care about the parks and are there just for the game, you can probably find a decent hotel in the Maitland area. These are normally business traveler hotels. Since it’s a holiday week (less business travelers) you may be able to find a good rate.
Disney Property will be very costly and is probably booked up. Not worth it unless you’re coming from a Disney vacation.
Avoid 192 and Mall at Millenia areas.
Altamonte Springs is fine as well. Basically the same situation as Maitland but one exit further.Should I avoid the Almonte Springs area where I reserved a room at the Springhills Suites?
Thanks for your help. I have never been to Orlando before. The SpringHill Suites has average price of $186 ($132 - Thursday & $232 - Friday).Altamonte Springs is fine as well. Basically the same situation as Maitland but one exit further.
I got angry before I understood the tone of this postThe answer of course, is the Four Seasons. Truly top notch. Surprising to find such impressive accommodations in the swamp of Central Florida.
If the Four Seasons is completely booked, I suppose one could settle for any of the Grand Floridian (beware of the children and mid-westerners dropping their life savings for their dream Disney vacation), or the Ritz. I'd recommend the Waldorf, but have concerns that the property shares some facilities with the next door Hilton .
If those do not fit your palate, you could try the ChampionsGate Resort where my old golf pro David Leadbetter has his academy, rent a house in Windermere, or, if you own (or even lease) a helicopter or private jet, I've really enjoyed what Donnie has done at Maralago.*

On expedia yesterday the deal of the day, including round trip flights on frontier from albany, was $4100 for four nights at the Four Seasons. Oh. I forgot.

If you want really cheap motels, look for the ones in Kissimmee, FL. Then drive 15 minutes to Orlando.
