I have stayed at this hotel several times over the last few years. My last stay Jul 06 was as good as it gets. The rooms had been remodelded and were clean. My wife and son and I all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Having been to the keys several times for the money this is the best place to stay. The manager is always helpful and I will be staying here again on my next visit.

We stayed in Key West, Florida on 4/26 - 4/28/2006 and this hotel was wonderful.
The view of the gulf was directly across the street. The staff was very helpful with
places to eat, things to do and anything to make your stay perfect.
We wanted to rent scooters and they called and got them delivered for us. They also came
to pick them up the day we checked out. Scooters is the best way to get around and enjoy
the sights of Key West. We had a one bedroom suite with a full kitchen and laundry. The balcony overlooked the pool and hot tub and the gulf. The balcony was adjoining the living room and the bedroom. I can't say enough good about this hotel and staff.

We stayed at this Key West property both 15 years ago and 8 years ago, before it was a Travelodge, and really liked it then. Unfortunately, it has really gone downhill since. The rooms are beat out and not clean. The full-size refrigerator in the suites has been replaced by a tiny mini-fridge. The coffeemaker was missing. There were no utensils or cooking tools in the kitchen, so cooking was not possible. The single elevator was broken and we had to wrestle 6 flights of stairs with our luggage. Although we went to the continental breakfast early, there were "out" of coffee already and no more was made. We had planned to stay 5 nights, but checked out after the first night and got a *beautiful* suite at the Sheraton Suites for LESS MONEY than the Travelodge was charging us. This place is run down, poorly staffed and OVERPRICED!

3 and a half stars i would give it really, not quite 4, only because it did appear a little run down and neglected, and the first thing you see after the lobby check in, is the massive parking garage, which is undesirable to walk through every time you enter and exit the hotel. The elevator seemed a little old and the pool a little neglected (the bar looked like it haddent been touched in decades) but the pool was very nice, and provided a nice alternative place to tan (a little more quiet then the bustling beaches nearby)
I really cant comment on the reservation situation, as many peopel on this site have complained about, since I was not involved in that process, but for my experiance, it was a great stay. I stayed in one of the bigger 3rd floor suites (with a balcony and all) It was so big it was as if we rented a 2 level appartment! 2 bathrooms, a sufficient kitchen, laundry and a windey staircase. The front desk consisted of your typical key west folk (if ya know what i meannnnnnn...) they were however, very very nice and helpfull to me, but i can easily see how they can come across as provocative to others.
Personally I had no problem with this hotel, its location to the beach was great and is very close to dubal street.
