Away from Key West's main tourist district.
The resort's location may prove tranquil for some guests but others report that the hotel is a little too far off the beaten tourist path for their liking. The resort is located by Garrison Bright at what is considered the entrance to the Old Town, placing it about two miles from Duval Street and Key West's major attractions.

Hot tub needs updating.
The resort's outdoor hot tub is popular with guests looking to unwind but according to reports the facility is in need of an upgrade. Guests report that whilst it is clean, it can be a little uncomfortable.
