Gorgeous hotel nestled next to the historic lighthouse. Front desk check in was very helpful especially with parking which is crazy expensive in key west. Room was beautifully decorated in calming colors. Grounds were beautiful especially after the hustle and bustle of Duval st or a day on the water. Good breakfast to start the day. Highly recommend this hotel!

Charming property in a great location. We had a few hiccups with our stay, mainly not hot water for several days (our room only). Communication was not good regarding this issue but the hotel made it right in the end. Definitely could use some TLC and the breakfast didn’t appeal to me but for location and genuine Key West feel, this is good.

Great Location!

Location, location, location!!! Staff were very friendly and breakfast was nice, especially the Wellness Shots. Need to consider an automatic door opener as many guests struggled going in and out of breakfast area. Property is tired and needs updating and repair. Stairway to second floor needs to conform to ADA needs.

Lovely hotel and ideal location to walk to everything on the south shore and the northern waterfront areas. We enjoyed the cozy pool and bar areas. Our King room had everything we needed, though it was small, with no seating in the room other than the bed and a makeup stool. The bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again in a larger room or suite.

If I could put up a video on here I would to show how serious it is when I say do not stay here. Upon arriving I was put in a room that when opening the door smelled like it was underwater for weeks before anyone noticed. The smell of mildew was horrific but couldn’t be moved to another room until the next day. The floor was even soft from the water damage. The staff apologized and the next day I was moved to another room. This one smelt a lot less like mildew but was still fill with moisture. I have bad asthma so the rest of my trip wasn’t great to say the least. The very last night we had all the lights on being that we were packing to leave and I looked up in absolute horror. The ceiling was completely coveredddd in mold. All over. Pillows of water sitting underneath the Sheetrock just building up til they burst. I wish I could add pictures & videos. I’m now home & sick as a dog. DO NOT STAY HERE!
