7.4/10

The hotel has a fantastic location, right by the boardwalk and just a short walk from all the fun of Key West. The rooms were generally clean and spacious, but I would recommend avoiding the ones facing Pier 31 if you want a good view. The service was friendly, though there were a few hiccups with the pool staff. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there were a couple of minor drawbacks that kept it from being perfect.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the upside, the location was fantastic with beautiful views and close to everything I wanted to explore. The rooms were spacious, which was great for my family. However, I faced some issues with bugs and noise, which really detracted from my stay. The service could have been better, as the staff wasn’t very informative about the amenities available.

8.0/10

My stay was overall quite pleasant, with clean and comfortable rooms, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The location was convenient, right across from some tourist attractions, but the view from my oceanfront room was often blocked by cruise ships, which was disappointing. The dining options were great, but not included in the stay, so that was a slight drawback in terms of value for money.

Rooms

The rooms were very nice and clean, but after housekeeping vacuumed, there was a lingering dog odor. I also noticed the air conditioning units were quite noisy, although my second room was better in that regard.

7.8/10

The hotel offers a great location just off Duval Street, which makes it easy to explore Key West. The rooms are equipped with nice amenities like coffee machines and TVs, but the view left something to be desired. The service was efficient but lacked warmth, especially when it came to assisting with luggage. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay with its pools and on-site restaurant, but the value for money could be improved.

8.6/10

I had a great experience at the hotel, especially thanks to the ideal location across from Duval and on the water. The staff surprised me with champagne and a fruit basket for my 60th birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room upgrade was fantastic, offering stunning views of the harbor and sunsets. On the downside, my room wasn’t made up all day, which was a bit frustrating, but overall, it was a memorable stay.

Rooms

The staff was mostly friendly, and their surprise champagne and fruit basket made my birthday special. They even offered us water to cool down. However, I found some interactions less than friendly, which could use improvement.

Location

The hotel is positioned perfectly to enjoy both the resort and everything Key West has to offer, sitting right across the street from Duval yet in a quiet area on the water.

Dining

The dining experience was wonderful; each morning we enjoyed delicious breakfast on the front patio with beautiful views of passing boats and the cruise ship in front. However, I wish breakfast could have been complementary as dining options nearby are limited.
