"Our stay was pleasant for my first trip to Key West, but if I return in the future I will not choose to stay here again. The staff was entirely lovely, accommodating, and hard working. Shuttle service from downtown did leave 10 minutes early (we watched them drive away - it wasn’t full), leaving us stranded for 70 minutes or on the hook for uber. Hotel bar was upbeat and fun, a good place to wait for shuttle departure. Pool was packed with kids/families every time I saw it (we didn’t use it) or heard it. For the high room price, this was very much a normal, clean, comfortable hotel room. Given the aging nature of the building’s exterior (island life is hard on structures, so I get it), I would have needed the room to be more luxurious to offset the price. This is not the fault of the hotel, but I stayed here because of beach proximity and I now know Key West is not actually a beach town (beach is small, narrow, close to street, very natural/not groomed, minimal walkable food options, rentable beach chairs are expensive and poor quality…not a place catering to the beach experience) Lesson learned. I’ll stay closer to the actual attractions of the island in Old Town if I return to KW."
