“For $125.00 a night just before Christmas you can't beat the price or location. The room was what I would call basic but nice. The bathroom could use a little update but overall it was great! The people at the front desk were very nice. The only big negative was when I booked the room I spoke with a representative in Jacksonville and she forgot to mention I would need security clearance before entering the base. I arrived at the base at 4:30pm and was told I needed the security clearance at NAS Key West, about 10 miles away. But the security office closed at 4:30! The gate and base security at Trimbo Point was able to do the security check there but it took them more than 2 hours to do it. I do not fault them at all because I was told at the hotel I was lucky they did it. Thank you base security for your help. Overall it was a very nice experience! Shame on the person who do not tell me I needed to have a security check prior to entering the base and the time the security office closes!”

“I have logged myself in this hotel almost three years ago. That is a very good place to visit, in spite of that I was not on vacation. The only problem is that there was no breakfast at morning, but Key West has good restaurants to go and the island is very cool!”
