How I ranked the rooms
Rankings focus on room layout, bed configuration, outdoor space (balcony/patio), and who the room suits best (couples, families, pool-goers, pet owners).
I used the hotel's room inventory and on-site features — pool access, dining, shuttle — plus the property's pet and accessibility notes to weigh priorities.
- Layout & beds: does the room sleep 2, 3–4, or more comfortably?
- Outdoor space: balcony or patio when available
- Location: poolside vs. quieter courtyard or waterfront-facing lounges
- Special needs: pet-friendly options and room accessibility (note: no elevator at the property)
| Priority | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Bed configuration | Determines who can sleep comfortably (couples, families, groups) |
| Outdoor space | Balcony/patio adds seating and pool/grounds views |
| Location | Poolside rooms are lively; other rooms are quieter |
Best overall room: Premium Room, 1 King Bed, Balcony (Luis)
This room type pairs a king bed with a private balcony, giving you both a larger bed and outdoor space — a solid choice for couples or single travelers who want a little extra room and a view. The hotel's description highlights Premium Rooms as having seating areas and balcony options.
Premium Rooms also include standard in-room amenities such as complimentary Wi‑Fi and in-room coffee; the property offers free self-parking and a shuttle to downtown if you plan to visit Old Town.
- Beds: 1 King Bed
- Outdoor: private balcony (Balcony (Luis) indicates the balcony-equipped Premium layout)
- Good for: couples, solo travelers who want outdoor space
| Feature | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Balcony | Private outdoor seating in many Luis balcony Premium Rooms |
| Space | Premium Room layouts include a seating area in addition to the bed |
| Ideal guest | Couples and travelers wanting room plus balcony |
Best for families: Superior Studio, Multiple Beds
Superior Studio, Multiple Beds includes 1 King Bed, 1 Twin Bed and 1 Twin Bunk Bed — the layout works well for parents with two or three children or small groups who want a single connected space. The studio layout often includes a balcony or pool-facing view in some units.
The property welcomes families (it is not adults-only) and advertises rooms that sleep up to four; check-in requires the primary guest to be 21+ and the hotel provides cribs/extra bedding on request when available.
- Beds: 1 King Bed, 1 Twin Bed, 1 Twin Bunk Bed
- Good for: parents with multiple kids or small groups
- Tip: confirm exact layout and balcony availability at booking
| Why pick it | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Multiple sleeping areas | Keeps kids in one room with adults nearby |
| Bunk bed | Saves space and appeals to younger kids |
| Single-room convenience | Easier supervision compared with multiple rooms |
Best poolside pick: Room, Poolside (Havana)
If you plan to spend most of your time at the pool — the hotel advertises Key West’s largest pool with chaise lounges, poolside service, a pool bar, and a heated hot tub — choose Room, Poolside (Havana) for immediate access.
Poolside rooms are convenient for mid‑day breaks and late nights by Mojitos Pool Bar, but expect more activity and noise than rooms farther from the courtyard/pool area.
- Room name: Room, Poolside (Havana); beds: 2 Queen Beds
- Pool hours: the pool is open 10:00 AM–11:00 PM and is heated
- Nearby dining/drinks: Mojitos Pool Bar serves mojitos and frozen cocktails poolside (open 10:00 AM–11:00 PM)
| Poolside perk | What it means |
|---|---|
| Easy pool access | Steps from loungers and pool bar service |
| Late-night pool hours | Pool open until 11:00 PM |
| Noise | Higher activity than inner-courtyard or street-facing rooms |
Best value / standard options: Room (Havana) and Room, with Sofa bed (Havana)
The standard Room (Havana) comes in king or two-queen configurations and is described on the property as roughly 275 sq ft for the basic Havana layout, suitable for couples or small families who want a straightforward room.
If you need extra sleeping space without booking another room, Room, with Sofa bed (Havana) offers a king bed plus a double sofa bed so a family of three or four can stay together in one unit.
- Room (Havana): 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds — standard-sized room around 275 sq ft
- Room, with Sofa bed (Havana): 1 King Bed + 1 Double Sofa Bed — good for families who want one room
- Best for: travelers who prioritize price and basic comfort over balcony or extra seating
| Room type | Sleeps |
|---|---|
| Room (Havana) — King or 2 Queens | 2–4 (depending on bed choice) |
| Room, with Sofa bed (Havana) | Up to 4 with sofa bed |
| Standard size | About 275 sq ft (Havana standard) |
