Wir haben es ganz spontan gebucht. Die 100€ pro Person war es natürlich nicht wert, man kann aber dennoch nichts an der Unterkunft aussetzen

It is an excellent location walking to the exciting places. They should have a clear guidelines for free parking place, otherwise you have a risk to get penalty for illegal parking and tow truck fee. I paid USD55 ticket and USD250 tow tuck fee.

My room was a king room. Just enough space for 2 people. Big bathroom with great water pressure in the shower but only a trickle from the sink. There's no pool like shown on Google. It's a couple blocks from Duval st. That's where the fun takes place. $8 ubers anywhere on duval but you could easly walk. Beach access only a 3min walk and the southern most point is about a 5min walk.

This is the cheapest place to stay in expensive Key West. It is located not far from the southern most point and has good, free parking. That said it is rather charmless, although it has a nice courtyard for picnics, relaxing, etc.

silence and inconspicuous appearance of the facility. The city's attractions and shopping are reachable in 10 to 15 minutes on foot. The beach is only 5 minutes away! :)

After I had booked this place and we arrived I was told we would be sharing the room with 17 people. It did say shared room but it said nothing about the extreme. Beware of how this company advertises the room. For all I knew, shared room could have meant i am sharing a room, which I was, with my son, but it did definitely not mean that. Scary
