Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is perfect, right on Duval St just 2 blocks from the sunset pier, offering easy access to everything Key West has to offer. The rooms, although in need of some updates, are priced high for the small size provided. The dining experience, while convenient in the lobby, lacked in quality and speed of service.
The hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were a little dated and could use some updating and love, they were cozy despite being small. However, the external noise from things like a refrigerator or air conditioning unit outside was bothersome, and the lack of security left me feeling uneasy.
The hotel is nestled right in the heart of Duval Street, offering a central location with plenty of nearby attractions. While the rooms felt small, cramped, and somewhat unclean for the price, the service was a mix of pleasant and in need of improvement. The dining experience had its highlights but also fell short in some areas.
