Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms are quaint and equipped with everything you need for a great stay, including large flat-screen TVs and in-room tablets with fast Wi-Fi. However, the need for a freshen-up on the second day was a minor inconvenience for me. Patricia, our room attendant, made our stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel offers a really nice stay with clean lines and spotless rooms that have been decorated to a fairly high standard. The service was top-notch, and the location, although far from the main area, provides tranquility and closeness to Stock Island with a short drive to Key West attractions. The dining experience was good, but communication issues were noted. The favorite features include being close to everything and the cozy pool surroundings.
The hotel is in a nice location away from downtown, with a good view of the water, but it can get crowded, and loungers may not always be available. The rooms were clean and tidy, but facing the carpark brought some noise issues, including sirens at night. The service offers amenities like dry cleaning and housekeeping, yet the lack of food at the bar was a downside. Dining options were limited to a food truck on the property. Overall, it's a decent stay for the price, providing value for Key West travelers.
During my stay, I found the hotel to be a pleasant place with clean, comfortable rooms and a wonderful pool just across from my room. The location, while not central, offered easy access to numerous restaurants and bars, but taxis to the main part of Key West could be pricey. The service was top-notch, especially the attentive bartenders and security staff. The dining options, though not provided by the hotel, were available through a convenient food truck on the property.
The hotel had a charming beach and wood feel in the rooms, exactly like the pictures. The sliding 'barn door' to the bathroom added a nice touch to the decor. The evening and morning ambiance was delightful. However, the distance from the main end of Key West could be inconvenient for some, but it was worth it for the tranquil atmosphere.
