Disliked: Room comfort
Whilst location was good, and parking was very easy. Very disappointed with our stay, stayed in a room by the pool with guests using it even at midnight/1AM both nights. One guest even pressed the emergency button making a huge noise and waking up multiple rooms. Additionally, no proper blinds on the doors meaning light came in and others could see into your room. Room was nice and clean but unfortunately wouldn’t stay again.

VERY clean, but the room was a tad small with barely even a pedestal sink for getting ready. Also, the lighting in the room was a bit lacking, but honestly it served it's purpose very well for our needs. We spend very little time in the room when in Key West -- mostly just to sleep and change, and it was WONDERFUL for this!! Close to Duval, so none of our ride shares were more than $10 or so, even in high traffic times. GREAT location. We will be here again.

Loved this place. Quaint and quiet and decor was lovely. We had a first floor room with a balcony with palm trees growing around it and overlooking the pool. Morning coffee in the shaded courtyard was lovely and a nice continental style breakfast selection. Staff we also lovely and welcoming. Just a lovely, laid back, relaxing place to stay. Pretty central on the island and only a 20 minute walk to the lively Duval street. Would 100% be happy to return to this place if we ever go back.
