Not to close not to far

Is an excellent hotel, not to close not to far from downtown and theme parks, have everything around, even a park place in front of it. The attention was very good and the cleanliness of the room was excellent, is 15 min away of the parks and 25 min from downtown, but still find. Strongly recommended by me..

Good Hotel

This was a good hotel to stay at if you will be traveling to the Disney parks. Location is very close and mini golf and great food is very close with out having to go to Disney property. Good for family stay. Expect A LOT of kids! Pool always jammed packed and way too heated to be considered refreshing for an adult but the kids will enjoy it. A/C leaked on the carpet which made it wet/musty in the corner, only major complaint but we barely spent time at the hotel, it was good for resting the a quick dip in the pool for the little one.

Good Location

The hotel was fine, pool great, and breakfast great too. Kids 12 and under eat free at the breakfast buffet with paying adult. Great deal for my friend and her daughter. Shuttle service was limited and terrible. The bus leaked when it rained and the schedule was very limiting. Close enough for a taxi though.

Substandard service, ants in room....

We traveled here on vacation and were told on check-in that we have internet access and it never worked. We had to get wireless access from the McDonald's next door. Although we called the support number, they were unable to get it to work on any of the 3 devices we had. We had ants in our bathroom each night of our stay, not sure how they got to the 8th floor. On check out, we had a SURPRISE bill on 5.95 a night being charged to our credit card and called a "resort fee" I was told this was to cover things like the pool, the internet access that I was unable to use, etc. Even though I complained, I was told that I still had the pool. Very poor customer service. I will never stay at a Holiday Inn again.

Fantastic Family Getaway

When we arrived at the hotel late that night and after two flight delays the staff person offered us an upgrade to a room where the kids got to sleep in a bunk bed and had their own television for free. We were starving and they had a Pizza Hut and A&W there. The kids really enjoyed the pool and there were many places to eat around the hotel and it was very easy to get to Disney, less then 10 minutes. We would stay there again in a heart beat!

Summer vacation

My family and I recently stayed here for a week and hit all of the theme parks. It is in a good safe location not to far from all of the attractions the hotel is clean the beds are comfortable and the staff is nice. The rooms are reasonably priced but there is a 4.95 resort fee added on at the time of check out but other than that it is a nice hotel at a reasonable price

Holiday Inn Kissimmee, Fl Review

At the Holiday Inn in Kissimmee, Fl we were able to go swimming & relax in the Jacuzzi while being served Daiquiris and other drinks poolside. We had a great time just being in the hotel. The staff at the hotel are friendly & polite. Also the location was great because it was across the street from a lot of restaurants such as Pizza Hut & Macaroni Grill.

The good, the bad and the ugly.

Location is near everything important. Hotel had Pizza hut and A&W and nice gift shop. One nice clerk (working at A&W) gave me her discount. Pool area very nice. Rooms were dirty around the edges and under the beds.

Friendly and convienent

Front Desk was helpful and had a lot to offer as far as information on Disney and Universal. However, I would't count on the Shuttle to get you to these parks. If you are staying here plan on driving to them. It is only about 5 minutes to the Disney parks.

Use the Pizza Hut and AW in the hotel for lunch as a break between parks. Take a dip in the pool while you're at it.
