I was very nicely greeted and dealt easily with the staff - the hotel is eclectic like Key West is - the hallways are open and the rooms irregularly spaced - quirky like the whole island! The area very walkable but for most restaurants you would want to take transportation. My room very comfy and spotless - the place seemed very new - quite AC and a TV with a zillion channels. The breakfast somewhat limited but the coffee super. Would stay agin in a heatbeat.

I thought the hotel was clean , and great. Parking was not tooo bad but definitely if you go during a packed time of the season then you most likely will have a really hard time finding parking. In addition, if you a light sleeper I would not book . The walls are paper thin, you hear everything . They placed me in a room right infront of the pool … I could never really rest to be honest.

Nice place to stay. Rooms are small, so if you have more than 2 adults, it can be tight. Luggage is where it gets tight. Nice breakfast downstairs by the pool. Full service bar opens in the evening. Weather was accommodating so we sat outside to enjoy the bar. Swimming pool is one of the biggest i have seen in the Keys. All and i would stay there again.

Charming historic hotel.. at edge of old town. Walkable bikable etc. Beds good, our room was spacious (double queen). Unique experience. Breakfast fine, substantial (hot/cold). Small staff I guess.. sometimes late aft or evening no one in office which was mildly annoying as stopped us from doing a few things or waiting - aka getting pool towels, renting a hotel bike one time.. But overall would recommend. Good value for low/mid-price hotel (off-season anyway). Pool like many pools pretty small, maybe enjoyable for kids.. Wasn’t there for pool. Parking can be problematic, 4 spaces in back, even in off season we had to search side streets a lot one night when we lost our hotel spot. Sadly pool bar and happy hour closed when there (off season mid week), too bad as was feature looking forward to. Could buy drinks in office instead and take to pool, but not that ‘resort feeling.’

We had a pleasant stay. The pool and breakfast were satisfactory and simple. We did not have a chance to enjoy tiki bar. The charm of the building is nice. Our room was comfortable however our shower didn’t work at first and had to use the room next door. Our shower also had someone’s hair it as well. The shower itself could use a lot of updating but served our purpose although minimal water pressure. The young lady who helped us was very accommodating. We came to relax and have some fun and we did. We never use room service so I can not comment. We rented bicycles for a day and enjoyed they were rented on site.
