There's a place next door to the Delano that should work (the National?) but check reviews.
Plenty to choose from, check reviews and watch the discount sites for deals.
I'm not a Florida expert, though, maybe others might send you to a less decadent place.... depends on what you want - if you just want a relaxing beach day, then the Ft Lauderdale area might be better. There's no beach in Orlando, and not much in Key West.

Also the Banyan Resort and the Galleon. I have friends who recently stayed at a hotel there, too, will check and get back to you - Oh... rent a scooter

There are Hyatt points owners who rent on ebay. Check them out for good deals.
It's a 4 hour drive from Miami to Key West and yes it's overrun with Cruise ship passengers many mornings.
I've done several cruises to Mexico with a stop in Key West and just didn't bother to get off the boat most times.
The few that I did was just to take the trolley and chachis shop.
Honestly Key West is small enough to see in one day if it's not overrun with other tourists.

This guy rents his Hyatt points on ebay pretty reasonably.

Thanks for the additional input.
I was thinking two nights in Key West because I'm like Glitter. I don't want to drive all that way just to turn around and head back.
Thanks Chris for the info on the eBay seller. I'm not sure we'll go this route since the last part of the trip is still very fluid. It all depends on how long dd is able to stay with us in Orlando. So I'm better off making reservations that can be cancelled, or changed.Luanne

You might want to consider doing Dry Tortugas if you are staying in Key West a few days.
I've heard that it is spectacular.
I'm going to do it in November if I feel up to it.

Pat, we were going to stay in Key West for 3 nights, but the place we're staying only had the room we want for two. That's when I thought about spending a night in Key Largo before heading to Fort Lauderdale to fly home. But all plans can be changed at this point.Luanne
