Resort fees without resort amenities.

What we liked: Big shower, nice staff What we didn’t like: Very small room, no water pressure, large gap in door to outside(plenty of room for bugs to join us in the room), tight parking. No servicing of room during a three day stay. One night it rained and we waded ankle deep in water to the car. Can’t figure out what we paid a resort fee for!

Good budget stay in convenient location

As far as key west is concerned, this is a great budget hotel and easy walking to most places touristy. We based our stay here on using the e scooters on site to get around and had all kinds of issues which was unfortunate. The breakfast included was great. I do have an odd charge to follow up on with the hotel

The staff was kind, not the issue. The room I booked did not look like the room I got. Everything was severely outdated. The shrubbery getting into the room was blocking portions of the door, not just my room but others too. There was nowhere to sit because the two chairs that were in there are badly soiled. There’s a sticker on the mirror stating to conserve the environment only towels that we put on the floor will be cleaned. The towels that were hung up were shredded and looked like someone has been using them so my daughter didn’t feel comfortable showering in there. There was also bugs in the bathroom. The breakfast they offer are expired muffins and pastries that were hard. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging over $200 for a night in a place like this.
