This hotel was too far from the activities on the Duval Street. We were at this hotel during a cold snap, and there was no heat for the room housekeeping never cleaned the coffee pot and gave us fresh coffee. I bled a little on the pillow and it was never changed through the duration the light in the bed area flicked that was very disturbing.

This was a great location, we walked everywhere in Old Town. The property is very quirky, with lots of character. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I found the quality of the food at breakfast a bit disappointing.

Fantastic find and fantastic service in key west.

First time at the Palms in key west. Overall a very good stay. It is quiet and clean and the beds are comfy. It’s @ 25 minute walk to Duval street (@ $5 Lyft/Uber ride). They also have bikes that you can rent for $18/day. TV in room with streaming services. The best part of this place is the service- my husband wanted to watch a college football game during our stay and unfortunately it was only on ESPN which did not come in on the hotel TV. Ja’ire (sorry for misspelling!) the front desk man went above and beyond in order for us to be able to watch the game - he contacted the owner and they added espn so we could watch the game. It really made the night for my husband and allowed us to watch an amazing game between ND and Penn State. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in key west.

Hotel.com no cubrio mis expectativas

No cumplio mis expectativas respecto a las fotos publicadas. El desayuno lo servian en la piscina al aire libre. mucho frio. No tenian loby cubierto donde estar. Cuando llegamos al Hotel hubiera cancelado la reserva pero viajamos con mi madre de 86 años y ya no podiamos seguior dando vueltas. No me quejo del personal, me quejo que deberian investigar lo que publican e informar que es un edificio muy antiguo no apto para gente mayor.

Room and facilities were great but my room faced the busy street so heard traffic all night as well as a rooster crowing. Hotel is quite a distance to walk to Duval Street and other attractions. Closest dining was a food truck called Pescado which had excellent fish tacos.

Charming

The Palms is charming and friendly. But be aware that it’s a very old building and has its quirks. We had a very small room and tiny bathroom but it had the essentials. There’s no heat if it’s cold. The breakfast was fine. The location was good for our tourist purposes, in a nice neighborhood. We were glad to have stayed there.

As an Expedia Platinum member, I travel a lot which means that I have experienced and stayed at some particular and challenging hotels globally, but by far, not exaggerating one bit, in a non-entitled way, the WORST experience I’ve ever had was at the Palms Hotel in Key West. The Hispanic staff who barely speak English had an arrogant and condescending tone and were highly unprofessional which triggered/motivated me to post this negative review. Jair or Joaquin (employee gave me multiple fake names), the front desk Hispanic short male is a lawsuit waiting to happen. A person with his horribly poor customer service skills MUST NOT have contact with guests. Diane(a), Hispanic older female, who claims to be the property manager, was just as unpleasant to deal with. They are either untrained or culturally unfit to provide the level of customer service Americans expect in the U.S. These individuals were pompous, presumptuous. Imagine a foreign hotel staff being arrogant towards guests. Laughable. The “Continental” breakfast the property claims they offer is a joke. The pictures of the property/rooms are professionally and heavily edited and photoshopped. The hotel was virtually empty, Expedia extends me late checkouts (noon), but this amateur, incompetent and inefficient foreign staff made such a big deal to honor what their business partner (Expedia) extends to me. They made my stay miserable. I hope the property owners read this review and terminate and/or train these individual
