    Room 132 at Cabana Inn Key West
    Tina B.

    Our room is not shown on their website or any travel site, if it had been we would have stayed at some other place. The room they gave us was in the attic with a slanted ceiling so every time you sat up In bed you had to worry about banging your head. It happened to us a couple of times. Don't stay in 132!!

    ACTUALLY!!! i'm updating this review because as great as a time that i had, me and my boyfriend are covered in bed bug bites

    The pool. Ahh I could just lay back and melt away...

    Excuse me for writing a review from a few months back, but I just needed to take a moment to think about my days in Key West. I mean can you blame me? It's tough to not want to reminisce about that place, especially when you have a super chill and relaxing stay at The Cabana Inn which is where my buddies and I spent our Floridian nights back in February. The place itself is right off of Duval Street but down far enough to give you a little space away from the riffraff. It's also a bit inconspicuous as the tall-gated fence keeps the Inn somewhat secluded. This is a great feature to Cabana as you'll feel like you've walked into your own little private getaway once inside. The courtyard/pool in the center of most of the rooms is the, well, centerpiece to the place. Just the right balance of sun and shade with a handful of lounge chairs and a vibe of pure bliss. Surrounded by that bliss is one factor that continuously shatters the calming effect Cabana Inn has: roosters. Their logo has one on it so perhaps they know about these noise-makers (and they embrace them). The constant cock-a-doodle-doo-ing from all the fowl that happen to be around the area is the only legitimate downside to Cabana Inn. When they're not busy roosting, you can easily get lost in the Key West breeze and palm trees while hanging by that pool lagoon. Enough of the pool as this review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the actual rooms. They vary by size, space, and shape, but they're relatively comfortable regardless. Our room (shared between three of our party of six) was up a spiral staircase which gave us a nice balcony to take in the morning when we woke up. The interior had a pull-out couch, small kitchenette, and a table sizable enough for six fellas to play cards at. We rotated sleeping spots so when I had my turn in the full bed I found it pleasant enough. I mean it wasn't like we spent that much time in the room anyway, but for sleeping (plus cards and pregaming), it definitely did the trick. Overall, The Cabana Inn is one of the chillest spots you can find in Key West that keeps you right near the main drag without losing the laid back and relaxing feels of the area. Yeah, the roosters are definitely going to put a damper on some of those relaxing vibes (and maybe even a little sleep), but it's not a game changer. That pool, that's a game changer (a good one!). So if you don't mind, I'm just going to close my eyes for a second and imagine I'm back there...

    Mold in grout

    Very dissapointed with this resort. $400 per day and we get a foul smelling air conditioner, so much mold in the shower grout flip flops are needed. Didn't clean our room as promised. The happy hour is a joke. Cheap wine and two varieties of cheese. Breakfast is good if your a carb and sugar junkie. I asked for the owner to contact me but I guess he/she does not like to make any improvements long as customers keep coming. We will not be back.

    This is a beautiful little gem of a hotel in a great locals-type neighborhood right behind the action of downtown Key West. They have a beautiful pool and gathering area with a very open and welcoming feel. Our last-minute, 1 night reservation was received as if we'd booked this room months ago and were staying longer-which we wish we could've stayed longer. Our room was on the smaller side, but very clean and comfortable. It had all the usual amenities, and the staff couldn't be any nicer or more helpful with dinner tips and info on things to do and see around town. The breakfast offered is a nice touch as well. An insider note: As a native Floridian, I must say there are a lot of chickens in Key West, especially in the downtown area. If you don't like to hear a rooster crow or see chickens walk through the lobby-forget about it! In fact, forget about Key West altogether. Chickens are part of the culture and ambiance of this beautiful bohemian city. Join in, or stay home.

    I love this place! It is so cute and peaceful. The complimentary 5-7pm wine and snacks is a nice touch as well as a nice, simple continental breakfast. The staff is all very nice and friendly. I loved our room it was so cute and nice, but only complaint is the floors were pretty sandy. We had a 2 bedroom suite, which was perfect for 2 couples. Great price for a nice place in a good location, right near downtown. Will definitely return!

    The very odd shaped door

    After a very long flight o finally got to my hotel only to wait for a very greasy guy who poses as a security guard. This guy slowly takes his time puttering around his computer explains his all knowing job and how great your free breakfast is in the morning (cold cereal) oh then slams you with an $80 resort fee.... for what?!?! But wait.... there's more.... I GOT TO CARRY MY OWN LUGGAGE UP THE EXTREMELY NARROW THREE FLIGHTS OF STAIRS AND LISTEN TO MY VERY LOUD NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE HALL RUN THEIR MOUTHS ALL NIGHT!!! Ya nope I am calling the booking company and canceling my reservation and switching hotels first thing!!!

    5 wonderful stars!!!!!!! This place is perfection! My husband and I had an incredible time here! The staff is so hospitable and welcoming! The location is literally on DUVAL STREET! You can get anywhere from this hotel! We will be frequenting this location for all of our future KEY WEST lodgings! The hotel itself is beautiful! The rooms are so nice and clean! The pool is heated and the hot tub is a perfect temperature! Again! Location, location, location! They also offer a cheese and wine happy hour, breakfast, and have a Starbucks coffee station!

    Dirty shower
    Susan M.

    Do not stay here if they give you room 521! It is small & disgusting. The shower was dirty & had black stuff in the grout. Did not have a closet. Only good thing was the courtyard area. Help was unfriendly and one of the front desk people couldn't be bothered due to the fact he was playing video games on his phone.

    King room floor

    I do not recommend this hotel at all! At $550 per night, you are better off staying at the Waldorf in New Key West or Eden House in Old Key West. We arrived at 4:20 pm and our room was not ready because they only had one housekeeper working (check in is at 4 pm). The hotel attendant issued us a refund for the resort fee which was a nice gesture for the inconvenience. Afterwards, we had to wait for an additional 30 minutes for the housekeeper to finish cleaning our room. Once our room was ready, we were escorted to our room by the hotel attendant. We were at the room door ready to relax and unwind once we entered our room. However, when we opened the room door we were shocked at what we saw. The room had cheap laminate flooring that looks like gray wood. The laminate was dirty, cracked, peeling, and missing sections with random pieces of duck tape on the floor covering cracks / holes. The furniture in the room is dated and not well maintained. The room contained dirty wood furniture - two nightstands, a side table, a chest, and a dresser all of which were delaminating. Two Ikea table lamps with rusted metal bases and discolored white lamp shades sat on the two wooden nightstands that framed the king bed. The bed had no blanket and a dirty red throw pillow on it. The orange accent chair that sat next to the delaminated side table near the room door had white stains on it and was accompanied with a blue and white throw pillow which had a brown tinge (from being dirty and not being washed regularly). Once we finally got over the shock of the bedroom area, we decided to check out the bathroom. The bathroom was a nice size and very basic. We pulled back the shower curtain and observed two massive rust stains on the shower tile and multiple holes that were just filled with caulk. The free wine and cheese happy hour that we had been looking forward was a joke - I personally was expecting a simple charcuterie board and an assortment of wine, not string cheese and lays chips and wine in buckets with no ice. After coming back to our hotel room after a night out on Duvall Street, we showered, and crawled into bed, and we were surprised to find sand / dirt in the bed sheets. We want a refund for our stay, we are still in disbelief that we paid $550 per night to stay in this hotel.

    Giving a solid 4 stars. Honestly its much easier to list what could be improved. And considering…read morethis environment, I can only think of a couple. 1. Hot Tin Roof Restaurant. The breakfasts for the price taste dismal and lower quantity. 2 eggs bacon, toast, and chopped potatoes a bit over $20 as most other dishes plus smaller sizes if you just want a donut or similar. The vibe I get is for breakfast this place is for guests who have a hotel package that includes free breakfasts. They also charge a 18% mandatory "service charge" and of course another line for the tip. We didn't do dinner here. I hope its better than the breakfast. 2. We booked under The Edge Chase Sapphire Reserve so its $100 property credit and free breakfasts for 2. When you consider "service charges" tips, taxes, and determine what the credit can be used for, it becomes a bit confusing. I know for a fact that laundry is not included, neither is the $50/day valet parking. Sort of an resort advantage to keep the guest guessing. Drinks food, spa i know are included with the $100. The valet guy was cool and informative. Considering the small island size and the cost of everything, this was a great stay. The room and balcony overlooking Malery Square plus the ocean and Sunset Island were fantastic. I have stayed at many locations over the years and this was by far the best. Pegasus on Duval is a dump. Both Hyatts are nice but on east side of the island so transportation becomes an issue. Do you really want to drive close to Duvall....if you can find a space, then pay for parking? This place is 2 blocks from Sloppy Joe's, Hogsbreath, next to Malerly Square and sunset pier. Walking distance to the hot spots at night.

Rooms are nicely decorated but not what you expect for $1000 a night. They are way over priced for the quality. Front desk staff is terrible. Don't know how to handle issues which you will have plenty. We didn't have AC 2 out of 3 nights and they didn't even feel bad about it. They said basically it is what it is and we have to deal with it. One night they moved us to another room and they were acting like they were doing us a favor. It was major problem for us. second night they moved us to our room which has broken AC And gave us boxed fan to cool off. Front desk manager is clueless and don't know how to handle issues and he has kids working for him who do not know how to handle anything. They are like teenagers. I would never ever stay there again and warn anyone not to there. Oh you will wake up 5am because of dumpster trucks getting the trash and it takes like 20 min. Another thing is their damn roosters , they start 4am and won't let you sleep. Jesus, it was 3 days of hell!

Check-in was busy when we arrived, but the staff remained friendly, patient, and accommodating. We've stayed here several times over the years, including during the renovations, so we've seen the resort through all its phases. It's wonderful to see everything almost completed, and the property looks great. Throughout every visit, the staff has always gone above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. One thing we've learned is that if you have a special request, just ask , they're happy to help whenever they can. Our two-bedroom suite was perfect for our family. We love the layout and found it incredibly comfortable. While many guests prefer the ocean-view rooms, we actually enjoy them, even with the occasional cruise ship in the harbor. Besides, you're in Key West! Take a walk and explore, you'll find gorgeous ocean views all around the island. The location truly couldn't be better. You're within walking distance of Duval Street, Mallory Square, great restaurants, shopping, and so many Key West attractions. We also had dinner at the newly decorated Lolita's Coastal Cocina, and it was absolutely delicious. A special thank you to Damir K., who has been wonderful throughout our stay. His hospitality, along with the rest of the staff, is one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Keep up the great work, Opal Key...we're already looking forward to our next visit!

The property has a bar, café, concierge, and a small restaurant serving breakfast. Our room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower had excellent water pressure. We also enjoyed having pool access. The pool was definitely the highlight. It is saltwater and has separate adults-only and children's sections, which was a huge plus. The pool attendants were wonderful, and the pool manager did an exceptional job. Their service is the main reason I would give this hotel three stars instead of fewer. Unfortunately, housekeeping was very slow. Our room was not serviced until around 4 p.m. most days and was not serviced at all on Sunday. This was especially odd because housekeeping staff could be heard speaking loudly in the hallway very early in the morning. We also had one very uncomfortable experience at the hotel bar. A heavily intoxicated gentleman was yelling racial slurs while another woman played country music loudly from her phone. The bartender was alone, and there did not appear to be any security support nearby. We left immediately. Ironically, we had planned to attempt a little ghost-conjuring of our own one evening, given Key West's spooky reputation, but our plans were quickly interrupted by the very drunk man in the lobby yelling racial slurs. It was certainly not the supernatural encounter we had in mind. The hotel does have beach access, although we avoided the beach because of the significant seaweed issue, which was not the hotel's fault. Overall, Casa Marina has a beautiful pool, comfortable rooms, and a convenient location, but the housekeeping delays and bar incident made the experience feel inconsistent.
