I would've given this place a 5 star, but the price is a little high for the quality. The walls are paper thin, and you can hear everything, so be warned. The staff was great and so is the location.

This was a birthday weekend for my wife. Darian at the front desk made it a very special birthday for her. He upgraded our room and made sure we had everything we wanted. The sweet lady at the breakfast bar was very kind and very helpful.

Pleasant surprise! I had not stayed here before so I did not know what to expect. It’s a great hotel. Our sweet room was large and spacious and overlooked the pool. It was clearly new/updated. Shout out to the breakfast woman who was a pleasure to see every morning when you wake up.Location is closer to the southern part of the island. I prefer the other end but that’s a personal thing I would definitely stay there again.

We spent 3 nights at the hotel in November. The location was nice- about a block from Duval Street- and very quiet. Rooms were pretty nice, but I don't feel like the beds or pillows were very comfortable. Breakfast was a very simple selection you'd expect to see at a Residence Inn or similar hotel chain, and they ran out of hot croissants with an hour left (out of 2...) Noise was a bit of a downside- walls were thin, so we could hear muffled voices pretty easily in the rooms next door, as well as those having breakfast outside of our room/near the pool in the mornings. It wasn't terrible, but definitely noticeable if you're sensitive to that. We enjoyed the complimentary treats provided by the cleaners every day, and having 24/7 access to the front desk if we needed it. Pretty pricey for some of these details and being off-season, but it wasn't a terrible experience either.

We had a room with two double beds and a balcony. The room itself was great—clean and comfortable. The balcony was on the street side, but we didn't noticed a lot of noise. The bathroom was on the smaller side but perfectly adequate for our needs. The location of the resort is excellent, and the pool area is beautiful. The pool was a bit warm. I am not sure but the water looked slightly murky at times. Overall it was still enjoyable. Breakfast offered a limited selection, but it was enough to get us started for the day.

This is a spectacular property that is 2 minutes from Duvall street and easily walkable to the marina for any of the excursions. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The staff are very gracious and accommodating. The salt water pool is great bonus. Must consider hotel in the Key West area

We wanted something that offered affordable comfort and this place absolutely did. We had a queen suite - the bed and pillows were super comfy, and the bathroom was nice and spacious. Very clean and offered a turn down service. There was a complimentary wine-time and the pool was super cute and intimate in the heart of the hotel. Perfect distance to Duval street and had a car park for $20 p/day.

We stayed here for the 1st time over Xmas and it was a great experience. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and the over all property was wonderful. They left little treats and water in our room and the complimentary breakfast was nice
