Disney/Orlando close, but clean and quiet

I hate to expose this secret gem, but within the same drive time as International Drive, there's a great place to stay for people who don't have kids, but want to go to the Disney parks. Less traffic, much less noise, clean, spacious and efficient, at a terrific price. The service is totally efficient, yet warm and friendly. Just 20 minutes south west on I-4, the Auburndale Best Western has a country feel. It's away from the whole Disney scene, but close enough to access all the parks faster than public transit -- or driving -- from I-Drive. We fled the I-Drive chaos at Christmas, surfing the net till we found space here, and what a difference it made in our vacation.
