Celebrity Resorts Travel Review

Whenever we stay in Orlando, we have access to numerous locations thanks to our timeshare.  For $200 we were able to secure a efficiency suite at the Celebrity Resorts in Kissimmee, FL.  Let's talk about the good.  It's near Disney and we got what we paid for.
 
The bad, we got what we paid for.
 
For seven days at $200, we paid basically $28 a night.  What a dump.  The first thing we notice the place is still under refurbishment.  Outside our room was a huge dumpster for construction materials.  Early in the morning we see the resort staff and construction workers talking outside.
 
We had the efficiency suite, which is the second bedroom to a normal suite, but it can be locked off.  We found that if you open the front door, you can not get to the bathroom or mini-kitchen without closing the door.  This makes it difficult to bring in luggage because you have to bring everything into the bedroom.
 
The bedroom had two queen beds and it all felt like a 2-star hotel.  No wireless internet.  There is a sauna in the bathroom, but that takes up about 80% of the entire bathroom.
 
In conclusion, Celebrity Resorts is a dump.  Avoid if at all possible.
