Monroe County Inns

The perfect cross between a motel and a beach resort. The grounds are essentially a botanical garden with small huts scattered throughout. There are lots of seating options, a great pool, and a private bay with boats to explore the waters. Fantastic sunset spot. I really enjoyed our stay here as way station to Miami.

I checked in during the off-season and was upgraded to a room with a balcony. The yard and rooms look great, and the location is very convenient. But I didn’t expect that the old-fashioned window air conditioner was as loud as a tractor. It was so noisy that I couldn’t sleep at all one night~ The equipment in the old house has not been upgraded. If you want to sleep well, choose carefully.

Can cook and eat, not bad

It is good and comfortable considering Key West hot tour place.

$25/day resort fee due at check-in. The AC units shut themselves off after some undetermined amount of run-time. Had to keep flipping the breaker to get the AC to run. Temp never got to the setpoint and because it didn't run long enough, it never sucked the humidity out of the room. Room was clean. Parking lot was crowded.

Great hotel, very cozy. All entertainment and attractions are nearby, but the hotel itself is not noisy. Good breakfast, happy hour in the evening with wine, cheese and snacks. If there is not enough space for parking near the hotel, then a couple of blocks away you can park for $ 15 per day. Of the nuances - noisy air conditioning in the room and a dirty pool (lots of leaves).

Been to Key West many times. (we live in Fort Lauderdale, so it's a nice getaway that is a short drive) Our preference is to stay at guest houses on the east end of the island, rather than staying in the busier east end. We rent bikes on arrival and keep the car parked. Parking is a problem with this property. They have what appeared to be 6 spots at $25/night, and 20 spots at a lot nearby at $20/night. None of which were available. Options were to park at meters at $5/HOUR, or to find rare non metered street parking. Since we frequent the area often,we knew where to street park w/o meters, just 2 blocks away. The room was clean and simple, no maid service, you had to go to the desk and ask for towels, soap etc. Comfortable bed and a fridge in the room. Only drawback was the constant drone of window unit A/C that barely kept the room cool. When I booked the room the confirmation email said that upon arrival we would be charged $74.97. What we were actually charged was $118.09. Even showing the confirmation email to the desk attendant made no matter. The included continental breakfast was sufficient, juices, coffee, waffle maker, bagels, fruit, cereals. The dining area was clean, well maintained and central A/C. Also included is a happy hour from 5-7 in the lobby with wine and individually wrapped snacks. Over all 4 stars, had parking been free and they honored the price we were expecting to pay on arrival, they'd get 5 stars. But hey, it's Key West, they march to a different drum.
