Key West boat races 2012
 
Where are the good places to stay that are close to everything, also are there any Condos/hotels to see the races from? Where is best to go to watch the races?

Anyone?

when is that again?

It might be tough to get a hotel with an ocean facing view for the races, but you should try the Westin, Pier House and Galleon. You can watch the races from the roof of the Galleon, but I like watching from Mallory Square(open area on the sea wall) better.

How about one of the park benches? lol You working on something?

Hyatt is great
Close to everything so it's easy to crawl to

We have a room reserved at the Westin facing the water, top floor. I think it's a 4 or 5 night min though....

Kinda pricey. Not sure if any good rooms are left, we made those reservations in Nov......

My wife just informed me last night that my anniversary present is a trip to the Key West boat races, she already has the hotel booked, sweet. We are going with the neversatisfieds, LOL. I can't wait. She said we are going Tuesday-Monday:thankyouthankyou::thankyouthankyou::thankyo uthankyou::thankyouthankyou::thankyouthankyou::tha nkyouthankyou::evilb:

Frickstyle do you take a boat? I am working on that but I don't think that part will fly. She told me to just be happy.

Where are you stayin?. We have a timeshare at the Galleon. Tues-Mon is too long for me in KW...I would be dead.

Great present. You will have plenty of time over that week to test your liver. :evilb:

Southernmost is the coolest hotel in KW, imo. Crawling back to the room from Duval is over-rated... you can get anywhere in KW with a 5min cab ride. :lolhit:

No, just partying, my boat is in project mode right now. Me thinks she won't be ready for this season. However, my old man has a place in Florida (Hollywood), with a lift, and he may have a boat by then, but it won't be a go fast.

Also, I went down in March and stayed at a B&B (Old Town Manor?) right off Duval St. It was nice and clean, short walk anywhere, and a reasonable price for what you got. We also stay at the Best Western sometimes. The B&B was actually cheaper, a better setup, and a shorter walk to Mallory Square.
