The hotel's location is brilliantly close to Key West's main attractions with a short walk to Duval Street. The rooms are colorful and bright, but the breakfast is very basic. The service is perfect, with a charming building and cheerful staff. The dining experience is awesome but in a bit of a small area. Overall, a great value for a Key West stay.

The hotel room was a bit small, with no additional seating apart from the bed, and the kitchenette was not as expected. The shower stall was really tiny, and the lack of an elevator to the second floor was inconvenient. Additionally, the noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable, especially at night.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms had all the amenities one could need, were a good size, and very comfortable, blending perfectly with the historic building. I appreciated the plenty of drawer and storage space to unpack, making me feel right at home. Although the price was slightly high, the value for money was worth it.

The hotel's location in a quiet residential area surrounded by charming homes was a real gem. While not right in the heart of Key West, it was still within walking distance to all the main attractions, offering a peaceful retreat close to the action. The affordable $15 bike rental made exploring the area easy and convenient.

The hotel is not bad, within walking distance of key areas, with nice rooms and a swimming pool. The location is great, close to everything but away from noise and traffic. The rooms may need some updates but are clean, big, and comfy. The service was helpful and friendly for the most part but had some rude moments. The dining experience was simple but tasty, offering something for everyone. The breakfast was good with options from cereal to boiled eggs and sausages.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were freshly painted and flawlessly clean, but the walls were so thin that I could hear everything from the next-door room, and the air conditioning was outdated and ridiculously noisy. The location was good for accessing activities on the island, but it was a bit noisy being right beside the bar and ice machine. The service was super friendly, but the request to send credit card details via personal email was a bit concerning. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good variety, and the facilities were decent.

My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The location was good in a quiet residential area, but the rooms were tiny and not very comfortable for taller guests. The service was incredibly nice, and the hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. However, the dining options were truly appalling, and the breakfast was not worth waiting around for.
