    Beautiful, cozy hotel, very well maintained, extremely friendly and helpful staff (greetings to Alex from the front desk! ). We had a spacious room with a marvellous porch, allowing to enjoy the beauty of Key West’s nature and vibe, and to have a breakfast. Our kids (and ourselves as well) had great fun in the pool surrounded by palms and vibrant nature. The cottages are close to the Duvall Street and to many other attractions of KW.

    The bathroom facilities are quite simple but value for the money

    Beautiful and cosy hotel with kind and welcoming staff. I really couldn’t recommend it enough. The pool area was clean and beautiful and never busy because guests are always put exploring. The porches for each property are so lovely and it felt like being part of historic key west. Within walking distance to all shops and restaurants too.

    The last morning, I checked out and I was hearing a barking dog in the next room. I am glad I was leaving. The pool is small and too hot to stay in very long.

    The Room was very nice. I was off the road and in the back bungalow, so it was quiet. The bed was King size and the couch and living area was in from of the bed. The bathroom was very large. I wish I knew there a refrigerator in the room, that should tell you how camouflaged it was. I loved the jungle feel walking through the property. Its so close to Duvall and the food, drink and atmosphere.

    Everything! We’ve stayed in many places, mostly very good ones, but this one was so exceptional we could go on and on about it. The location was wonderful, close to everything we wanted to see-very walkable. The room was VERY clean, not a speck of dust. Breakfasts were delicious. All staff we encountered were friendly, but Dwight was amazing! He welcomed us and calmed us from our “ getting into town “ nerves. He was SO helpful. He showed us all around the premises and shared all kinds of helpful information about sights, restaurants, etc. Excellent person and employee!!

    The rooms were small but enough.

    The inn is lovely and quaint. The breakfast baskets were great! The room was clean, but small. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. There is parking on site but for a fee. The hotel is close to everything but not so close that you will hear all the noise - in fact it was quite quiet!

    Location was perfect for us. We could easily walk to everywhere we wanted to go. The thing we really really loved was the full breakfast delivered to our room, and the nice table outside our room to enjoy it. Also, the staff was always very helpful, friendly, and polite. They accommodated our late arrive with patience and kindness. We would not hesitate to visit again and recommend to friends. Thank you.

    The pool is tiny not like it looked on booking. It was clean and there were lots of chairs and lounges but the pool was disappointing.

    Great room, awesome bed, nice roomy bathroom, two top quality tvs, nice breakfast brought to the room each morning. Comfy sitting area, makeup desk with mirror, historic site that is not touristy.
