Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The Marker is a great place to stay in Key West, the staff were very friendly and accommodating especially the pool games employee Roslyn! The double pools were perfect with great live music including an up and coming band called Snacks and 5. The room was very nice and well taken care of. The Historic District is a great place to have a mix of fun and some serenity!

Overpriced! Be aware! There is hotel fee, resort fee and parking fees. Resort and parking fees are charged at checkout! This hotel is way overpriced for what it is. The things they list to call them a resort are pretty much standard at hotels now. Rooms are average sized, bed was comfortable. Toiletries were mediocre quality. Refrigerator was broken. No microwave. Free wifi is standard everywhere now and shouldn't be considered a resort perk. Gym was very small. Could not find an ice machine, staff didn't under English apparently because they couldn't help direct us. Balcony? There was one but the view was nothing but up close trees and beyond that maybe a parking lot or alley? Definitely not the pictures they depict on their site. The trees were thick. What was there a good view of? Your neighboring room's balcony which was arms length away and zero privacy. Which brings me to the next issue. The walls and ceiling are paper thin! We could hear conversations clearly in the room next to ours. That also included singing and snoring all night!! They checked out only to have a very large group of college kids move in. Nothing but noise from rooms next door, upstairs and the hallways. All night long into the early morning hours. Staff claims they addressed it and students were polite. Really? Is that why it continued all night and multiple days!! They overtook the pool and bar area. Jam packed! We could not enjoy or use any of it. It was like a giant frat party. There is nothing about this place that says resort quality or is worth the high price tag. I have stayed at many interstate pull off hotels and airport hotels with far better amenities. One of the worst experiences we have had and terrible that they consider this a resort. They should knock a few hundred off the nightly price. That's all this hotel is worth.

The Hotel itself is Fantastic. We got a terrible room next to the elevator. Early morning hours you would get woke up due to a thump thump noise when it would move. I mentioned the issue with no response. You would think spending $$$ a night someone would respond to a concern. Would I stay again, maybe. But I would verify where my room is located.

We spent four nights at this property in early March. We experienced two nights of unruly loud noise in halls and outside balconies at 3, 4:30 and 5:00 am on two nights. The pool were exceptionally overcrowded due to spring break kids and those renting from houses outside the resort. As we learned the public can pay $50 resort fee (one person one fee). Well one person who was renting a house for a month paid a fee and then claimed 8 chairs every morning at the pool making things even worse. None of these practices are made clear on the website. Not being able to sleep and then being told by staff that “well it is spring break” is not acceptable. We have stayed at dozens of places in Key West during our 25 years of visiting and this property is the worst. We were made to feel as though we should have expected this. I’m sorry but this property and website are deceptive.

Dear R8605UVanthonym, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with our team. The happiness of our guests is our top priority and we apologies for the problems encountered as this is not the lasting impression we want to provide to our guests. As we tried to explained to you at check out regarding the Spring Breaks staying at the hotel. They booked on single reservations like any other guests and not as a group. Because of this the hotel could not flag their arrivals. Our entire team takes the integrity of the resort very seriously. We also tried to explain that Key West is a very safe place. Because of this is becoming a popular destination for educated college students. We worked very hard this week to manage the noise at night and the crowd in the pools. I apologize if we fell short to your expectations. With that said, I will be honest to mention that every college student we encountered were very polite and apologetic if they were doing something wrong with 0 push back correcting their behavior at the spot. Again, thank you again for your feedback. Yunior Rodriguez General Manager
