Kelly Island

I stayed there with my family while on a trip to Disney. I was a little worried bc it’s one of the cheapest hotels, but I would definitely stay there again. First off, it’s a Christian hotel and they have random inspirational Bible verses all over. Breakfast is free and there’s good choices, eggs, yogurt, waffles, coffee, oatmeal, sausage, fruits, rooms are clean. The only thing they don’t have a microwave in the room but they do have microwaves in a sitting area on the 2nd floor for customers to use. The lobby looks nice. There’s an outdoor pool, there’s a bathroom near the pool area and there are towels available by the pool. The hotel is by a lake, there’s hammocks and seats where you can just sit and watch the water. Do not even think about going in the water bc there’s alligators and snakes, but I didn’t see any. The hotel is in a good neighborhood, plenty of restaurants and stores around, lots of food options. It’s about 30 mn away from the Disney parks and 30 mn from Orlando airport. My kids love it. I think the Disney hotels are way too expensive. Free breakfast is a plus!!

Located conveniently at the middle of the strip. Services could have been better. No coffee machine for coffee/tea services available in the room.

If you are 25 or younger and you’re just coming to party, this property is fine. If you’re a bit more discerning, beware. They charge you for every little thing including late checkout. The rooms are not well appointed and very basic. There’s very little ‘Planet Hollywood’ vibe. More a party vibe. Getting anyone to help you is difficult. We couldn’t get the WiFi working…called them 6 times and no one picked up. When we did get someone, they often couldn’t help because the hotel allows very little flexibility to offer good customer service (clearly more about what they can charge you versus good customer service). The attached Miracle Mile Shops are blah. We actually upgraded to a suite and it was not clean. The bedside tables were stained and looked like they had dried blood under the glass, the curtains had moth holes in them and for a suite, I shouldn’t have to put the coffee maker on the floor to plug it in (no plug around the bar area where it was). Very disappointing.
