    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    This is the perfect location for easy access to all the activities in the area. In addition, it’s connected to the Rum Bar, which is a landmark location. The owners and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. If you can secure a room here it’s well worth it.

    We were awoken by guests staying in the room above us departing early one morning, but other than that there is nothing to dislike about staying here :) Be aware the property does not have parking but we were fortunate to find free on street parking

    Quirky & historic Inn with inhouse Rum Bar. Fantastic location on Duval Street - at the quieter end but with easy access to all attractions in Key West (& there are lots!). We had the garden room (3A), which was comfortable and well appointed - nice kitchen facilities & proper crockery :). Room has a small terrace looking towards the side terrace of the bar on the ground floor. Rum bar is great - hundreds of rum to choose from and a large selection of cocktails in pint glasses! Complementary cocktail offered on arrival. We found free on street parking nearby. Property is close to coffee shops/breakfast cafes and downtown restaurants. Great for people watching.

    This was our first time in Key West and it was amazing! Our accommodation was right behind the Speakeasy Bar and right on Duval Street. We met the owner and he was very nice and let us check in to our room early and even gave us a parking pass. We walked out of our place and were right in the midst of town. We are already planning a trip to go back. Highly recommend this place!!!

    Trash pickup at 4:30AM on a Tuesday was disruptive. The mattress needs replacing in room 2 due to dip in it.

    Clean, quaint, had a refrigerator and coffee maker. Staff was wonderful and let us park early at the Inn before check in time. Gave each of us a coupon for a free Painkiller drink at the Rum Bar.

    You could hear singing at bar next door late into the night. We expected there would be bar nose based on the location. Maybe could supply complimentary ear plugs?

    Great location on the nice part of Duval. Close to the ocean and southernmost point.
