The hotel is about four miles from Duval Street and the main center of Key West. Fortunately, there is a complimentary hourly shuttle service that takes you to all the action. Although the island is walkable, guests don’t advise it because of the high temperatures.
Some of the rooms, especially the ground floor rooms, or those facing the bar, can be noisy. Some guests also complained about their loud vibrating air conditioner. If you’re a light sleeper, you may want to bring along your earplugs.
There is an extra resort fee that surprised most guests, but it quickly pays off if you take advantage of the shuttle service, as taxi fares cost more.
