The hype
Travelers love the pool deck and the savings on parking, but often wish they were closer to the action.
Courtyard Key West Waterfront
$200-250/natt
Bestill dette hvis You want a resort-style pool and free parking without the Old Town price tag, and don't mind driving 10 minutes to the action.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- No resort fees and free parking (a Key West rarity)
- Large heated pool with a tiki bar that actually feels like a vacation
- Spacious suites that are significantly larger than downtown coops
Hurtig oversikt: A solid, wallet-friendly base camp for drivers, but the 'Waterfront' label writes a check the unswimmable 'beach' can't cash.
Gjennomgått av @rapunzelexplores: I honestly loved how peaceful this spot is compared to downtown. My favorite part was grabbing a drink at the Tiki bar and just chilling by the pier. The garden walk is a hidden gem, and the breakfast really set me up for the day.

Reality check
The 'Waterfront' view is lovely, but the noise from North Roosevelt Blvd can bleed into road-facing rooms.
- You have a rental car and refuse to pay $40/night to park it
- You prefer a quiet pool day over the chaos of a downtown hotel pool
- You need space for a family (the Double Queen Suites are huge)
Renslighet og vedlikehold
7.8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable, though some guests report missed days or needing to request service.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but watch out for mildew in grout lines in older ground-floor rooms.
- Maintenance: Some wear and tear visible (peeling paint, worn carpets) in hallways; rooms are generally better maintained.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality—crisp and clean, though pool towels can run out on busy weekends.
- Odors & scents: The biggest offender: a persistent musty/humidity smell in some ground-floor rooms.
