My husband and I checked in here for our Honeymoon! Driving there was fabulous as it is in the heart of anything you'd want to do in Key West. Now, I will tell you that our first room had a bug problem! They were everywhere! But, the key to a great hotel is how they handle a problem... and listen to what happened! They had a maintenance man up there within half an hour, and asked if wanted to stay in the room, or switch - we said 'Switch!'. So, they gave us the room next door. It was a BIGGER room - with TWO balconys! It was great! It is true that a Cruise Ship comes in regularly...but we thought that was NEAT! And, they always leave by Sunset - and we were able to watch the sunset from one of our balconies! We even ate out on our balcony! You could see street performers, the pool, and the ocean, and the beautiful sunset from the room / balcony! The whole place was very clean, the staff SO nice, and it smelled SO good. The smell was White Tea and I now have lotion that will forever remind me of my wonderful Honeymoon.
Now, my husband and I like to walk to things - so we walked to the southern most point of Key West, we went on a Ghost Tour, A Booze Cruise, visited the Mel Fischer Museum, the Ripley's Believe it ot Not, Hemingway House, Duvall Street, Sloppy Joes, etc... all within walking distance and the Concierge was so good to tip us off to these things.
I would stay here again and again!
