My girlfriend and I always stay here when we are in key west. The best location right by the bars on duval st. This was the first time we saw the new additions that were added on. We stayed in room 4 over looking the pool. Very nice. Renner always helps us and is a really great guy. He told... More

First time stay at this hotel for my husband and me. We were in the older historical part of the hotel. The small room was very clean with a comfortable queen bed. However, as the en suite bathrooms were only added some 12 years ago, they are very small and may not be suitable for a larger person. The room... More

Stayed here 3 times in last 10 years during spring breaks. This is a great little hotel for that purpose. The location and deck on duval st can't be beat. The rooms themselves are just ok. The staff,renner, is helpful. I would recommend the third floor suite if you have a large group.

This hotel has older and newer rooms, just make sure you know what you are booking. The older rooms were perfectly clean and in just a good location but they were very dated. I would still definitely recommend them for anyone on a budget. The biggest issue was there was no parking and they were very strict about pulling into... More

Had one of the small rooms - the room was clean, the staff is super friendly. The hotel was exactly what we needed - a place to sleep after a day of walking all over Key West. We would definately stay there again!! There is a large porch on the second floor that overlooks Duvall St - neat place to... More

We wanted into the Southern Cross looking for an affordable room, and ended up with their only open accomodations; a third-floor suite. The staff was friendly, informative, and characters in their own right, as is the hotel itself. This place is OLD, though they've done a fair decent job of updating it. Room keys are just that, keys, like the... More

We were frankly looking only for handy accommodations at a price lower than most. We got that, and more - from a place that most tourist guides seem to ignore. The lobby and front desk, located on Eaton Street, were very nice and the proprietor, Renner, was friendly and helpful in all regards - including steering us to low-cost or... More

The front desk was very helpful and friendly. The location was also awesome. We were able to walk anywhere within down town. The room was just ok. The comforter had stains on it along with the walls. The wall stains were yellowish and it made you wonder what kind of stain it was. We also had a few bugs in... More

Location is in the heart of Duval, staff on check in was nice and helpful, but.... we stayed 3 nights, the first two nights were okay, despite the loud air conditioner and clanging fan.
