Overall a great stay. The staff were lovely and for a 3* property it exceeded our expectations. Main thing for us was th
Pros:

Lovely Inn in an amazing location, just a couple blocks from Duval Street. Great pool and lounging area. Very clean! Breakfast was a nice touch as well. Staff were super lovely.

Cons:

The Sweet Rooms were a little small. We travelled far to the Keys so had quite a bit of luggage with us. Would be perfect for a weekend especially if you were not needing to travel far.

Super tolles Frühstück mit sehr viel Auswahl, auch mal gesunde Sachen. ;-) Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

The perfect getaway!
Pros:

The property was very well maintained and so cozy! It was close enough to everything, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxed. Dwight at the front desk was amazing! He treated us like gold and had the best personality!

Excellent location, friendly and corteous staff, stylish interior
Pros:

Location is excellent

Cons:

Breakfast is a very low quality, paid parking however the lot belongs to the property and we were charged quite a lot per night, plus very thin walls, you can hear neighbours

Clean and close to Duval Street
Pros:

I really loved how close we were to everything. We pretty much walked everywhere which was nice.
The breakfast was also a pretty decent variety. Very clean and not noisy.

Cons:

I do wish we had more room for our clothes. My boyfriend and I made it work but we just lived out of our suitcases for the most part. I will also say the pictures make the room look a bit bigger than they are as well but overall those are minor things and I would stay here again
