Cudjoe Key hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in Cudjoe Key, Summerland Key

"More menu items and better/frequent room cleaning."

"Rooms very clean Pet friendly out pool a little small Louge chairs limited "

"It was ok. The pool area was average at best. There's a huge area to one side of the pool that was empty. It should have been filled with loungers because there weren't enough and they were a bit ratty and not very comfortable. Could have cleaned the leaves out of the pool and whirlpool better as well. When I arrived, I was told the elevator was out. Then I asked where I was and it was rm 433...only 3 flights of stairs. Never got fixed the days I was there. Never even saw anyone working on it. I'm not an invalid but the guy telling me oh it's only 3 flights wasn't helpful. He offered to have someone take my bag but, how about fix the damn elevator. Night Kayak was great and food was decent in the restaurant but a bit pricey."

"Friendly staff"

"Beware!! As of mid March 2026 there were approximately 20-23 deck chairs in pool area. For a property of this size and with a beautiful pool in Key West this was terrible. Went to go to pool at 0900 and every chair was taken. The guest who had been there a day or so knew the game. I observed many people come out to pool with no where to sit or lay out. Do better Hampton Inn. "

"Clean room, excelent breakfast"

"Hosts were very communicative with check in as we arrived later than the office hours. The house boat is simple - nothing fancy. We did have a few ants. But otherwise, all was ok. "
