Key West - where to stay?
 

I know it's a long way off, but we need to make some reservations for November. We've never been so we are looking for suggestions for places to stay for a week. Not looking to spend a fortune if possible.

Thanks

If you can stay about 20 miles before key west at duck key
at Hawcks Kay Resort. great place been there about 4 times
.Great marina,also kid friendly.
If you have to stay in Key West check out a hotel called
The most Southern point Hotel I never stayed there but Friends stay there every year and they love it. :drink:

You can get a really cheap place if you stay off Key West

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

Inbetween, try the Island House. HEHE...just kidding, unless you like rainbow flags. Where you stay depends on what you want. Are you planning on spending much time at the hotel? Some of the Courtyard by Marriot are nice with nice pools. It's about a $15 cab ride to "downtown" from the furthest point on Key West. 4 or more is $3.50 per person. If you want to be close, Hyatt, Crowne Plaza on Duval is real nice but expensive, Pier House. Go to www.keywest.com and you should be able to find what you need. Some of the B&B's are very cool! Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions. Good luck.

We stayed at the Hilton last year and we have reservations there this year. Very satisfied, on the ocean, close to all.

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

The Hilton location is great, we watched from their deck godd spont and waitress service :drink: in between races we took a dip in the pool. We did not stay there but the Wigginout's and their friends did. They liked it so much they booked the corner suite with the view of the race for this year.

Thats at marker 66 (more than 20 miles) and can be an hour and a half drive, depending on traffic. :eek:

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

I have stayed at the Hyatt Sunset down by the Hilton and Mel Fishers. (there is a second Hyatt location by the beach too but I have never stayed there) and was very pleased. Walk to everything and was very reasonable for the place and location.

Nice two bedroom condos. www.1800atlantic.com

Re: Key West - where to stay?

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

Its still a good place to stay and after a couple of cocktails it seems like its only 20 miles :drink: :drink: :drink:

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

WOW!! Thanks for the replies.

We are going to stay in key west, don't really want to drive anywhere.

We are leaving the kids at home for the week. WooHoo!

Southern Most people have been nice on the phone. OK place? We'd like to be near a beach. How far to the races from there? Walking distance?

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

not at the El Rancho.

I was calling it the El Roacho the whole time I was there. the manager got alittle pissed.

If this link doesn't help you find a room, it should at least get you psyched for the races! Good luck! :drink:

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

that video is great!!! thanks mrs. W :cool: :cool: that will help get me through these last few winter months :D

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

There are now three Hyatts. The two at the other end of the island are brand new vacation resorts......time shares currently for rent. We just returned from Hyatt Windward Pointe. Our second year there. You can get a fully furnished 2 bedroom/2 bath condo at either one for about $250 a night on Expedia. Awesome pool and the big beach is a short walk from there. It is $3.50 per person to catch a cab downtown.

Or you can stay with Catmando at the cock dock. :evilb:

I can't believe I clicked on that link. :eek: How could I not see that coming? :D

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

Do we have a solid date yet?

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

Thanks again for all the mostly good advice. Not too sure about that last one though. :evilb:
We're going for the Southernmost Hotel. Near the beach not too pricey and they were nice enough on the phone. Hope we're not disapointed. At least a week without the kids will be good. :D

Thanks to all
Adam

Cool video!! Thanks

Re: Key West - where to stay?
 

I was thinking the same thing?? WE are going to do the poker run and stay for the races, what days are the FPC heading south and what are the good days to go, I know there are several different start days and most of the boats head back north on that Monday.
