Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was truly wonderful. The location is so relaxing and pleasant, perfect for everything going on in Key West. The rooms are spacious, decked with sliding glass doors, overlooking palm trees and flowering plants in a tranquil garden, and had its own little terrace. The service was friendly and helpful in every way. The dining experience, while nothing to write home about, was perfectly fine. This place is just great for walking around Key West, with surprises around every corner. Two blocks from Duval St, you couldn't ask for a better location.
My stay at the hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable, rivaling some 5-star hotels. The staff provided amazing service, making us feel right at home. The location was superb, close to all the attractions. However, the dining options left something to be desired, and the bathroom area had an unpleasant smell of pot at times.
I spent my time at The Gardens Hotel surrounded by lush tropical beauty in a peaceful and quiet setting. The rooms were quiet, although sharing a piano with a neighboring room could be intrusive at times. Despite the tired feeling of the decor for the price, the overall experience was delightful and serene.
