The room we were in was directly attached to the kitchen area so it was very noisy starting at 6am every morning. Other than the noise in the morning the stay was fine. I would say it would be nice if the people making breakfast could have been a little quieter in the morning.

Rainy in old Key West.

Great breakfast included. Friendly helpful staff. Close to many sights and dining. Rainy stay and no instructions on how to get various channels on nice TV. Like other Historic abodes, and Key West in general, properties are old and will not look modern/new. Everything in Krey West is overpriced.

The staff were wonderful and we loved the breakfast and sangria hour and how walkable the area was! We walked everywhere during our stay. The only downsides were it is very noisy, since you can hear everything outside from in the room, and the AC in our room took about 2 days to cool down enough to be comfortable after the previous guests apparently had left the AC off and the windows open during their stay.

Loved the complimentary breakfast provided daily, though choices are more limited during the week when we went than on the weekends. Pool was nice and refreshing during the very hot and humid weather, but they need more lounge chairs for guests. Despite the issue with our cards not allowing us access to our rooms the first night and second day and having to move rooms, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to others for future stays.

Well located- super cute

Well located walkable in Key West. The staff is excellent just know that the amenities are good. Breakfast is chef- provided and very good. Theres no elevator - just know before you go . Also it is Not Quiet - roosters crowing and buses going by. Take a sound machine or ear plugs. Nothing you can do about this - that's Key West- and know where to park before you go if driving there. Super helpful staff and well located. Excellent room - balcony / outdoor space provided. Super cute.
