I really like the holiday inn/staybridge suites on manchester drive. It's part of the shuttle service and is a little bit further from the park. The included breakfast is much better there, and the rooms are nice. The only downside is you will not walk to the park...I found in the past that staying closer I almost prefer to take the shuttle...your feet really start to hurt after day 3, and the walk to the park becomes annoying. The staybridge suites side is almost always just $5-10 more per night, than the adjoining holiday inn, but you get a kitchen/ette for your stay. Nice for loading up on bottled water, cheap quick snacks/meals, etc.

If you'd prefer to wak to the park, you can register at "mousesavers.com", they have awesome rates at the howard johnson which to me is the best hotel for walking to the park, and close to good food options. Nice sit down breakfasts, or mcdonalds, etc.

If you can wait to book until the NHL schedule comes out, it's always awesome to fit a game or two in down there...
