The hype
Travelers love the pool and the staff, but the rooms feel a bit dated compared to the lobby.
Doubletree Grand Key Resort
$150-250 / natë
Rezervoni këtë nëse You want a reliable, family-friendly resort pool and don't mind taking a shuttle bus to reach the actual Key West nightlife.
Pse Njerëzit E Duan
- Zero-entry pool with a proper tiki bar vibe
- Free shuttle saves you $40/day in Old Town parking
- Warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in (the DoubleTree classic)
Shikim i shpejtë: It’s a standard suburban resort that happens to be on an island—you could be in Orlando if you didn't look at the palm trees.
Rishikuar nga @Elholmes: I stayed here to save on those crazy Key West prices and it was such a win. The rooms are huge and modern, and the shuttle made getting to Duval Street so easy without the parking headache. Definitely grab a bike to explore the island!
Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha
Reality check
The 'frequent' shuttle is a pain point—if it's full, you're stranded until the next one or forced to pay for a taxi.
- You are a Hilton Honors member chasing points
- You have a rental car and plan to explore up the Keys
- You prefer a quiet pool day over a rowdy Duval Street bar crawl
Pastrëti & Mirëmbajtje

- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though some guests report missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are clean but dated; grout lines show age but no active mold outbreaks reported recently.
- Maintenance: The property is aging; expect some scuffs on furniture and occasional loose fixtures.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton white linens—crisp, clean, and replaced regularly.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like cookies; rooms are generally neutral, though some older 'musty' complaints exist.
