The Best Western Hibiscus in
Key
West is a great hotel for anyone that's looking for a convenient
location close to Duval street, yet not right in the middle of it. Our
room was large and clean, and we found it to be a low rate for Key West.
We like the Best Western chain for that reason, and this property is no
exception. For us it was a safe bet. The virtual tours looked great and
the pool was an amenity many hotels didn't have. We have no complaints.
This was our first trip to the island and we're glad we didn't get a bad
room for our only vacation this year. They include a continental
breakfast with the room, which looked nice, however we did not have
anything because we wanted to try the restaurants around the hotel. Our
favorite was Camille's, which was just a block away. They're breakfast
menu offered a unique variety of great foods. The had the usuals too for
the ones who don't want to stray from there regular bacon and eggs. The
pool was refreshing but warm, which was nice. I think it may be heated.
We rented the bikes from the hotel and rode all around. We will stay at
the Hibiscus when we come back. Most of the people we ran into had been
there before or planned to go back. Key West is a really fun place. I
called all around to find the best rates and found the number to call
directly here and got the best price for booking directly. Thought I
should come back and say thanks. My family and I were coming down to enjoy the beach and show the kids the reef. They do a good job of being a party town and a family destination as well. I had feared a bunch of drunken partiers staggering around, but the town is kept very clean, they have street sweepers running daily. This was also true of the Best Western. It's a nice family friendly hotel with no clothing optional areas, of which I have never seen so many in one town. As I said they have something for everyone and the reef snorkeling is something the kids will never forget. We had a great time and will probably come back for some fun and party with the friendly locals. There are some towns were the locals are just not nice to the people that support their lifestyle in a resort town. Key West is not like that at all. Everyone we dealt with, especially at the hotel was very welcoming and seemed happy to see us. Key West is a nice place to visit for anyone.
We found the Best Western Hibiscus to be
nicer than we had expected considering it was one of the cheapest hotels in Key
West. Spacious rooms, two queen size beds, double sinks which is an option I
wish I could take home, a large pool, and attentive staff. Housekeeping came
daily and waited for us to wake up and didn't come knocking at any time. They
supplied our room with more than enough towels and did a wonderful job. The only
downside was that it wasn't right in the action. I've read the reviews of how
that is a plus and can see how for some it would be. I think you need to think
about what you're coming to Key West for exactly. If you plan on spending the
majority of your time at the docks and taking boating trips then that's on the
other side of the island. However the added price of staying over there can
probably pay for a scooter to close the gap. Just things I'll consider for a
return trip. We walked a lot and in hindsight thought we should have at
least rented bikes. we said to each other how much we were going to walking and
the bike are right there and everywhere for rent. But everything you want to see
is within walking distance, so I'll base my choice on price compared to scooter
and bike rentals. Some may call me lazy with that opinion because it's a lazy
opinion to not want to walk anywhere. What you don't want to do is drive
anywhere. The Best Western has a parking lot and you should use it. Overall, I
would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to be on the quiet side of the
island and get a great room for a lower price. |
