Best Western Hibiscus Motel

Very pleased with our stay. Location great. Pool great. Large clean room. A few times we did Uber because sometimes a mile walk with flats gets old. $7 Uber ride to Mallory square was a deal. Uber drivers were available in less than 5 minutes. Would definitely come back and stay again.

The room decor, landscaping and pool area really remind you you're in Key West, which is fantastic. Most BW's pretty much look the same, but this one embraces the location. Although there's no elevator, it's only a 2-story building, so bringing luggage up wasn't a problem. There's no on-site laundry, but you can show your key across the street and use another hotel's laundry. Pool area had a lot of seating, and various types as well. People seemed to really enjoy the large loungers. Breakfast was a bit less varied than other Best Westerns, but certainly enough choices to find something for everyone. We found the staff to run the whole spectrum of friendliness, from truly warm and welcoming to a bit stand-offish. Being able to stay in the old-town area is worth the price. When we took the trolley and it stopped at hotels in the newer part (on reclaimed land), it seemed like a really boring place to stay. We would choose this hotel next time.

Location was very good. I was able to walk just about everywhere I wanted to go. The room was clean and well supplied. Breakfasts provided enough choices to keep me happy. The hotel seemed to be fully booked, but staff did a commendable job of keeping the breakfasts well stocked. Pool was nicer than most motel pools. Lots of seating in spite of being fully booked. Price was high, but I guess this is the norm for Key West at high season as I could not find a reasonable alternative for less, only more. The only criticism I have is that I couldn't regulate the a/c. It was much too cold at first, and if I tried to adjust the temperature, it became too hot.
