- "Superb attention to detail and excellent customer service" - "The rooms were excellent. Staff very pleasant. Breakfast well presented and a great choice." - "Exceptionally beautiful little hotel complex right on Duval Street, not far from the most interesting sights. However, in the summer heat, even short distances on foot become an ordeal. It is advisable to rent a scooter from the rental station right next door. Rooms are very clean, well-kept furnishings in a high-class style. The staff are very, very friendly and happy to help with any problem. For a hotel that does not have its own kitchen/restaurant, the breakfast is excellent and leaves little to be desired other than hot food. As we said when we left: if we ever return to Key West, we will stay here!"
