On the other side, the hotel strives to live up to Marriott’s standards. It has a lovely restaurant that serves a delicious breakfast. We also ordered lunch from the same restaurant and it was mouth-watering. One unique thing they offer is the night telescope in some rooms. We booked a suite where we found this telescope to enjoy the glamorous views of the stars in the sky. Our suite was very comfortable and tastefully furnished with modern pieces in a peaceful color scheme. The bathrooms had very premium toiletries, clean bathrobes, and towels. We had the same experience of staying in one of the best luxury hotels in Key West at reasonable rates.

Courtyard by Marriott Waterfront

Best for cleanliness. Courtyard by Marriott Waterfront has a great location directly in front of the sea. It’s in the Northern part of the city and very close to the New Town. We were looking for a peaceful retreat in Florida, and this hotel perfectly met our needs. The secluded location made us feel we were in paradise. We didn’t see a big crowd though we were in the hot tourism season of Key West. It wasn’t the biggest hotel we stayed in, so, we felt the same intimacy we felt at the best boutique hotels in Key West.

Before booking, we searched for Marriott Key West Beachside Hotel reviews. This hotel was one of the top-rated ones in this category. Moreover, the heated pool was very clean and inviting to spend most of the day there. Speaking of cleanliness, this hotel does a great job of keeping everything clean and neat. From the moment we entered the lobby, we noticed how spotless the hotel was. Our room was kept clean every day and we had no comments to leave. What’s more, the rooms were so comfortable and spacious. You don’t have to book a suite to get extra space in your room. Standard rooms are bigger than normal, so, we went for a sea-view standard room to enjoy these tranquil vibes.

The Saint Hotel Key West

Although the rooms at The Saint Hotel Key West weren’t the largest, we enjoyed our stay there to the limits. It’s one of the best hotels in Key West with great amenities and services and reasonable prices. It’s a great escape for those who want to enjoy a calm stay without missing a lot in the city. The Key West International Airport was less than five km away. Moreover, Mallory Square was less than one km from the hotel. We could reach different spots either by walking or using a scooter.

Aside from the good location, the hotel was aesthetically pleasing. The rooms had a unique style with modern lighting that added a flare to the overall decor. For some pampering, we tried different drinks at the bar by the pool which were very refreshing during the day. For breakfast and dinner, the Tempt restaurant offered a wide variety of food selections. Other amenities include free private parking and a 24-hour front desk with very helpful staff willing to help at any time.

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott at The Keys Collection

Staying at Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott at The Keys Collection made us close to everywhere in the city. We could reach all the destinations we planned for on our trip easily. Moreover, the hotel had a shuttle bus to the Old Town area which was a daily ritual during our trip. This was our first time staying in this area in Key West, thus, we decided to explore the area first. The staff recommended renting a bike or a scooter to do so. It was the best idea as we could ride down the streets without getting stuck in traffic jams. The hotel provided this renting service, so, we didn’t have to bother about it whenever needed.

Further, the hotel has good amenities and comfy rooms. It has an outdoor pool with comfy lounge chairs around. We could enjoy fresh drinks by the pool but there wasn’t a restaurant there. However, they offered a complimentary breakfast which was tasteful. Families might love this hotel as the rooms were so spacious and there was room for an extra bed or a cot in our standard king room. If you’re a family, check out this review of the best family hotels in Key West. Surrounded by palm trees, this hotel is a nice option at a reasonable price in the middle of Key West.

“The hotel staff was very thoughtful (gluten-free options at breakfast). We don’t usually find these options in hotels of the same price category. This accommodation was a great value-for-money”

Fairfield by Marriott Marathon Florida Keys

Best value for money. Amidst palm trees and crystal clear water, we found the Fairfield by Marriott Marathon Florida Keys. This lovely hotel offered us an unmatched experience at the best rates we could find in West Key. The hotel looks simple but it’s full of sophisticated details whether in the rooms’ design or the outdoor area. Starting with our room, we stayed in a king suite which had a bedroom and living room. The furniture was very modern colored in a beige and blue palette to look comfortable just similar to how it felt.

Outside, there was a large pool that overlooked the sea. You’ll get confused about where to spend your time by the pool or the sea. Both were very calming offering a tranquil experience. At the same time, we weren’t too far away from the hustle and bustle of Key West. We could reach several locations using our rented bikes from the hotel. For food, the Tiki bar served delicious food at good prices. In addition, the breakfast at the main restaurant was also mouth-watering. We loved the atmosphere, you can check more about the activities to do there on the official website.

Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort

For the ultimate beach experience, we headed to the Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort. This is one of the best Key West hotels we stayed at. It’s a luxurious gateway for real treatment directly in front of the Gulf of Mexico. We made sure to book a sew-view room to enjoy this spectacular view. We didn’t spend much time in our room because there were so many things to do outside. The infinity pool, for example, was the perfect spot on warm days. Even at night, we enjoyed delicious food at the Blue Waters Bar & Grill by the pool. The setting was amazing just like the food.

Furthermore, the hotel has a private beach. We couldn’t resist the thrill of trying a couple of water activities arranged by the hotel. We tried kayaking, paddleboarding, and best of all, the jet ski. It was a fun experience and we had a new activity every day to enjoy. In our room, there was a microwave, and a coffee machine, in addition to other amenities. We didn’t need to leave the resort as we had everything needed for a top-of-world vacation inside.

It’s the main street in Key West and home to famous shops, restaurants, etc.

The final options we recommend are the New Town and the Old Town. Both areas have completely different vibes. The Old Town has many tourist sites and places to visit including museums.

However, it has shops, restaurants, and all the services you might need during your trip.
