Paid for ocean view room with a balcony. The ocean view is across a two lane noisy major street that is undergoing major construction! My view is obstructed by 3 large construction vehicles. The noise during the day is unbearable. I don't know what is worse, the traffic noise or the construction noise. The room itself is rather large but the bathroom is tiny. Also, you are very far away from Duvall Street. A helpful hint: If you are going to be driving to Duvall Street, stock up on quarters. It takes 4 quarters for one hour of parking. The only other option are parking lots which charge $15.00 per day with NO re-entry.

Beautiful landscape around pool and tiki bar area. Clean facility and room. The airport is nearby and day flights are loud, go play somewhere else. It does quiet down at night though. The weather was cool during our stay, so the broken air conditioner wasn't a problem. We were waiting for our B&B. Our stay was one night only, But I wouldn't have minded staying longer. Don't pay extra for the ocean view... they're rebuilding the road in front of the hotel. Besides, the pool view is a more tropical setting with no traffic.

We found the Key Ambassador to be an excellent value, with an absolutely gorgeous pool, with one huge (deal breaker) exception. Local families, teens, and apparently anybody else who feels like spending the day at the Key Ambassador's pool is encouraged to do so on the weekends. My husband and i stayed there for 10 days recently and were astonished that the pool was overrun by unruly children and teens each Saturday and Sunday who were not registered guests. This was apparent as we observed these groups arriving and leaving by car (rather than coming and going from their hotel rooms). During Saturdays and Sundays the atmosphere at the pool changed from extemely pleasant to what one might expect at a day care outing at a water park pool, with a lot of running, screaming and horseplay. When we asked management what their policy was on unregistered guests using the facilities, we were told this was at the manager's descretion. Apparently, it is their hope that some of these people might purchase a snack at the Tiki Hut, which apparently they find more important than the return of paying guests. Obvously, we will not be returning and I would advise anybody else to avoid this property on weekends (unless of course you are a local and need someplace to swim with your children and all their ill-behaved friends).

This is a standard motel which is located in a less congested area of Key West. If it were not for the large pool with excellent bar which serves sandwiches, this Best Western would be typical of many roadside motels. Our room had a very loud window type air conditioner and the sliding glass door to the balcony was hard to open. Our card key door lock failed but was quickly replaced by the friendly maintenance staff. If you are like us and are looking for no-frills accommodations at a reasonable cost (at least according to Key West prices), this is the place.
