Breakfast was nice. Dwight was very personable and had our room ready early for us. The comforter had some stains and they only had what seemed one employee cleaning rooms. The pool was relaxing but wish it was a little bigger. Overall it’s a cute key west boutique hotel I wouldn’t mind staying at again
