Photos of hotel on website are very misleading. Cannot see ocean from hotel - which is more like a motel. Bathrooms tiny. Shower water piddles out and cannot adjust temp of water (it's very hot). Air conditioner noisy. Bathroom sink just inside entry door is not appealing. Roosters on property crow at all hours; woken up at 1:15 am by crowing. Wouldn't stay here again.

We stayed 2 nights in the Jr. Suite. We were supposed to be a party of 3, but ended up with just two but it was nice to have the extra space. All employees were so kind & helpful. I found the breakfast to be good. Nice selection without getting too fancy. Fruit was great, so fresh. We did get a parking spot in the street. My personal tip is to try to arrive in KW around check out when people are leaving. You can walk around until your room is ready. We don't drive the car once we arrive. We walked the first day but it was a bit too much for me (having health issues with walking) and used Uber the rest of the time. Not too expensive. Didn't use the pool but it was super clean & the bathroom by the pool was actually air conditioned. I loved the little parakeets on the side of the building. Thank you for a great stay!

Good location, about a 10-minute walk to Duval Street. The room was small but clean. The price is high for the quality of the hotel, but this is typical for the area. I would consider staying here again.

If you are looking for a unique experience in Key West, this hotel complements any vacation plans seamlessly. The hotel itself is walking distance from all the sightseeing locations. The staff was always courteous and helpful. The room was meticulously cleaned and welcoming upon return from the day's activities. I had been extremely happy with my first stay here and am already planning on coming back for future stays.
