Duval Key West|0.29km from Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S.A.
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.

Southernmost Beach Resort
3.9/5102 Reviews
Duval
The location is very good, right next to the southernmost scenic spot. The public viewing facilities in the hotel are also readily available, but personally I recommend not to choose those expensive ocean view rooms when booking, because the good views are in the public facilities The view of the room is average, so it is not necessary and the price will be much worse.
Best Western Hibiscus Motel

Duval
The hotel is located on the south-west side of the island and is within walking distance of the island's attractions. There is free parking, check in, check out is simple and convenient. The overall feeling is good, but the price is expensive.

The hotel is very beautiful, close to the beach, with its own beach, barbecue bar, etc. It’s great.
The Reach Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton

Duval
The worst Waldorf I have ever lived in, a hotel built in 1920, the location is good, there is a private beach, and it is very close to the southernmost landmark and the main street, within walking distance. But the room is very small, soundproofing is very poor, the air-conditioning sound has reached the level that affects the rest, the facilities are not well maintained, not the standard of an old five-star hotel

Santa Maria Suites Resort
4.7/5100 Reviews
Duval
I found this hotel on TripAdvisor. Once again a top rated boutique type Hotel on TripAdvisor does not disappoint. I can’t say enough good things about this property with only one minor hitch. We did have to wait an hour and a half for our room after our 4 o’clock arrival. However, they removed our parking charge and several days worth of resort fees. No hard feelings. The courtyard with two pools and a bar is an oasis. There is a nice breeze. Lots of palm trees. There is a fountain that blocks the street noise and also piped in music. Our room opened out onto a patio leading right to the pool. Every evening they brought chocolates for the turn down service as well as Dove bars and muffins. The beds were very comfortable. We also loved the double headed master rain-shower. The rooms were very quiet. The concierge who is also the front desk check in person provided good advice on where to eat, rented us a golf cart, and set us up for a three hour charter boat. The location is outstanding just off of Duval Street near the Southern most point. We could walk pretty much everywhere. We did rent a golf cart more so for fun than anything else. Patricia the poolside bartender for our five days we were there was outstanding. She was very customer service oriented and made great drinks. Drinks poolside were very reasonably priced. They provide unlimited free smoothies all day long. There is happy hour from 4:30 to 5:30 with free wine. Parking was behind the hotel. We will definitely return to this hotel. We did not try the restaurant attached to this hotel.
