The honest answer is: it depends on the dates. But here's how the pricing typically stacks up and what you actually get at each level.
Usually the cheapest: Fairfield Inn and Suites vs. TownePlace Suites
These two compete for the lowest nightly rate at Flamingo Crossings. Which one wins changes by season and availability — check both before booking.
What you get at Fairfield: a straightforward room, smaller refrigerator, no kitchenette, an upgraded shower, solid free breakfast, and access to a parking garage — though it's not attached to the building. Small outdoor area with a quarter-size basketball court, a small soccer field, and a batting cage. Built for smaller groups, quieter property.
What you get at TownePlace Suites at a similar price: a full kitchenette with a three-quarter size refrigerator, usually a tub, bigger pool, and a genuinely large outdoor patio and grill area with a full batting cage. Built for large groups — when youth sports teams aren't there, it's a better deal than the price suggests. When they are there, you'll know it.
Middle of the pack: SpringHill Suites and Home2 Suites
These two trade positions depending on the week. SpringHill shares the pool and amenities with TownePlace next door. Home2 is a large property with access to the parking garage and a full kitchenette setup.
Usually the most expensive: Homewood Suites and Residence Inn
Homewood and Residence Inn often compete at the higher end. Homewood Suites is big and more apartment-like with garage access directly from your floor. Residence Inn is smaller, quieter, and more upscale — fewer rooms means less crowd friction, but it typically costs the most per night of the six.
Price alone won't tell you which hotel is right for your trip. A cheaper Fairfield room might be the wrong call if your family needs a kitchenette for a week of meals.
A pricier Residence Inn might be exactly right if you need quiet and your kids are past the splash-pad age.
