The room was designed with a lot of love and really gave a cozy island vibe. We felt comfortable from the first second. The breakfast was great. The location super convenient, with enough parking. And the staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Minor detail, but we really didn’t like the ceiling fan. And that it only had one speed. Also be prepared for loud roosters throughout the night, but that is just part of being in Key West.

Entire staff was excellent, made you feel at home and top level VIP attitudes. Breakfast was great each morning hand made by staff and served in a garden area. The location is around 2 blocks from the Duval Loop bus stops and great value to shuttle around the entire downtown area of attractions. The Hemmingway Home and Key West Butterfly Conservatory were both excellent things to see. Sunset at Mallory Square was great and Gladiators Ice Cream Shoppe was excellent. A few restaurants are not open on Mon-Tues so check before walking there. The Lobster Shack on Front Street was excellent for lunch! Also the Dive Bar Shirt Club on Grinnell St totally cool and great Tecos.

Great trip.

End of June 2025 ~ Wonderful weekend in the Keys thanks to the lovely accommodations at the Mermaid & Alligator. Once inside the gates of the property, we were met by a lush patio oasis with a beautifully appointed and clean room that perfectly captured, in stylish fashion, the look & feel of Key West living. A small plunge pool with water temp in 86° range was very nice and allowed one to better appreciate the garden, vegetation, and ambiance. Courtesy pool towels are available poolside. Layout of property minimized contact with other guests and really made one feel you had the property largely to yourself. Glassware provided for drinks, with complimentary soft drinks, water, and snacks. There is a small ice machine available as well. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash included. No TVs in the room provided a refreshing break from the 24/7 news cycle - and of course, you always have your phone with free wifi included if you can't resist. We had no fridge in the room either, but with the common area fridge stocked with water, soft drinks and the occasional beer, and the communal fridge centrally located; we really didn't need it. Located right off of Truman Ave, closer to the Southernmost point than Sloppy Joe's Bar & Restaurant, the neighborhood is extremely nice and felt very safe. We combined walking and driving to see the town. It was quite warm during our visit, so we drove a bit more than we originally planned, but with parking readily available everywhere we went, and things being so close, there were no issues. Speaking of parking: Parking on the property was limited, but free parking on the street is literally located just feet away and was readily available. A daily breakfast is included, which other guests told us was quite good, but sadly our schedule didn't allow us to enjoy it ourselves. The hostess & small housekeeping staff were very pleasant and inconspicuous unless needed.

The property is located close to Duval Street, but far enough away to be outwith the hustle and bustle. We had the Caribbean King room and it was beautiful, with a great wrap around balcony. The property is located on the corner of Truman Avenue, which while busy with traffic during the day, is not an issue. The garden area is a bit of a sanctuary and is a lovely spot to have breakfast in the morning. It’s around a 5 minute walk to Duval Street, so very well positioned. Breakfast was excellent, with lots of fresh fruit, coffee and cereal etc. The staff are all excellent and do all they can to make your stay pleasant.

First and foremost, we were welcomed by the lovely Olga (receptionist) who was highly attentive and detail oriented. She made us feel like VIP guests! She showed us around the property and then to our room. Everything was pristine and serene. We felt right at home immediately! Amenities: Beautiful, serene, modern, clean. The hotel offers free sunscreen, water, snacks & drinks, happy hour, coolers, and beach towels! Everything you could possibly need or want, they've thought of. Breakfast: Different menu options each day and it's made to order for you once you take your seat in the lovely, lush garden. Ana and Anielka were on staff in the kitchen and were very kind and quick to make our food. The ingredients were fresh with lots of yummy fruit options! Location: 10-20 minute drive or walk to downtown. Super convenient access to Duval street. We left our car parked the day we checked in and didn't use it the entire time we were there.

Nothing! We loved everything about our stay!

I really loved this hotel. It’s amazing that it’s surrounded by nature and feels like you’re living in the jungle. It’s very beautiful and cozy. The location is perfect, everything is within walking distance! Great breakfast and staff! The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and the kitchen and living room are wonderful! Also is so quiet! I’ll definitely come back here again!!! Thank you 😍

The location was a little far to walk to Old Town but we were able to find parking everywhere we went. The room we stayed in, Carribbean Queen was lovely, with a large soaking tub and wrap around porch on the second floor. The "pool" is a large hot tub in a lovely garden. The grounds are well kept and relaxing.

Breakfast is included. The french toast was delicious but I needed protein. The other monring there were eggs but I am picky about my eggs and I do not like them over cooked. Just my preference.

We wanted an old world Key West feel and we surely got it! Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The manager/staff were so courteous and helpful. Cleanliness and amenities were A+, breakfast was delicious and decor and vibe could not have been better. We stayed in the bamboo bungalow which I HIGHLY recommend for couples! The only negative thing was that we had to leave this wonderful B&B. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful property! The breakfasts were delicious, plus snacks and wine for happy hour were a wonderful surprise. The pool was surprisingly large and had jets. We stayed in the bamboo room which had a private patio which was fabulous to relax and drink coffee on. I would highly recommend to anyone!

The bike rentals were more expensive than other rents nearby so we ended up going elsewhere for less. Also the parking is double parked so you might end up with someone blocking you in, in which you would have to move their car. Wasn’t a huge deal because most of the time we biked or walked to wherever we needed to go!

Everything, from the moment we walked into the inn, to the time we left, the staff, location, accommodations, snacks, breakfast, everything was so charming and lovely! Easy location to walk to Duval Street.

The price was a little steep, but we didn't realize it was Spring Break. We would absolutely recommend this to our friends and family.
