The place was charming, the bed was comfortable and the ac was working perfectly! The continental breakfast included bagels and pastries from a local shop as well as local Cuban coffee which was excellent. There was an ice machine and filtered water available and the patio was the perfect place to get out of the sun and relax with some food and drink. Close walk to Duval street. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Great location and a wonderful stay!

Our room was everything we were looking for in Key West. Clean, comfortable and easy. We found parking right outside and check in and check out was a breeze. Great coffee too. For the price, you can’t beat it if you are looking more for a place just to sleep and get ready for the day!

We stayed in the Poets room. There were 4 of us and we had no problem moving about. The room was very clean and they tidied up daily. The location was very convenient for anything we had planned (within 15 minutes walking distance). I would surely stay there again when I go back to Key West.
