My husband and I just returned home from a seven night stay at the Doubletree Resort in Key West. Our room was very nicely appointed  and clean. Compared to other hotels nearby the rooms are really big. We wanted to enjoy the island so we usually left early in the morning and didn't come back until late at night, so we didn't stay in the room very much. It was nice to have the space and have a clean room to come back to after a long day of running around. The shuttle service every hour is extremely convenient. This is their best amenity. The Grand Key is a couple of miles from Old Town. There are plenty of hotels in the New Town area but I believe they are the only ones offering a shuttle. The shuttle only runs until 11pm, and the bars are open until 4am. So plan on taking a cab back to the hotel if you stay out. Beats driving any day. Overall, we were pleased with the resort, the extra amenities, and the great rates for the package. If you don't stay in one of the little bed and breakfasts in Old Town, this is the best resort in Key West.

We found The Doubletree Grand Key Resort the perfect home base for chilling out by the pool during the day, and jumping on the shuttle to Duval Street at night. In about fifteen minutes the bus arrives a couple of blocks off of Duval Street at the historic seaport and your right in the heart of the city. We had to catch a cab back to the hotel one night and it cost us fifteen bucks for three people. When we go back, we'll stay here because we felt that you can relaxing by the pool after a long night at party central, in a resort atmosphere for the price of the chain hotel around the corner was a great deal.
