Old property which is charming. Well maintained, paint looks fresh. Off site parking can be challenging for physically challenged. One handicapped stall on site.
Very few for able bodied. Breakfast does not start until 8am.

This is an older property in the area of Key West consisting of homes built in the 1800's. Therefore, rooms are very small, luckily our room had a mini split A/C plus ceiling fan so I was able to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room. I was disappointed in the breakfast as it wasn't available until 8am and the coffee was terrible. Parking was difficult to find.

Peaceful setting
We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood where the hotel was located. It was a short bike ride to the action of Duval St. The breakfast and sitting around the pool were great. Rooms were on the small side but comfortable.

Nice stay, but...
Check in was very smooth and staff was very helpful. The room was small but comfortable. It was a challenge to find enough available electric outlets for our charging needs. The outlet in the bathroom was connected to the light switch - it was not "hot" when the bathroom light was turned off, so we could not use the nightlight we brought with us. The floor of the shower was slanted toward the drain and got quite slick when wet, resulting in a potential fall hazard (there wa not a rubber bathmat). Breakfast didn't start until 8a, but had quite a variety of items to chose from. Parking is a challenge in the area. Overall, we had a nice stay.

Nice hotel, but the room was never dark at night - really could use some blackout curtains. Also the window AC unit was incredibly noisy and right next to the head of the bed, so I got very little quality sleep. Also the bird cage is charming, but who thought it was a good idea to keep a bunch of chirping birds right next to a bedroom?
Breakfast is standard budget hotel breakfast - nice that it’s available till 10am.

First Visit to Key West = AWESOME
We stayed at the Palms for our first-ever visit to Key West, and would return there again when we come back to Key West for future visits. Located in a quiet area near the center of Key West, with easy walk/bike options to reach most areas of interest within 15-30 minutes, with most all sites less than a mile from the hotel. Nice breakfast by the pool every morning (see picture). Staff were friendly and helpful when needed!
