Hotel was beautiful as it has been during previous trips but there was no hot water this time. Unless you took a shower at some obscure time of the day, it was cold. Other than that it was great.

Fantastic find and fantastic service in key west.
First time at the Palms in key west. Overall a very good stay. It is quiet and clean and the beds are comfy. It’s @ 25 minute walk to Duval street (@ $5 Lyft/Uber ride). They also have bikes that you can rent for $18/day. TV in room with streaming services. The best part of this place is the service- my husband wanted to watch a college football game during our stay and unfortunately it was only on ESPN which did not come in on the hotel TV. Ja’ire (sorry for misspelling!) the front desk man went above and beyond in order for us to be able to watch the game - he contacted the owner and they added espn so we could watch the game. It really made the night for my husband and allowed us to watch an amazing game between ND and Penn State. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in key west.

Hotel.com no cubrio mis expectativas
No cumplio mis expectativas respecto a las fotos publicadas. El desayuno lo servian en la piscina al aire libre. mucho frio. No tenian loby cubierto donde estar. Cuando llegamos al Hotel hubiera cancelado la reserva pero viajamos con mi madre de 86 años y ya no podiamos seguior dando vueltas. No me quejo del personal, me quejo que deberian investigar lo que publican e informar que es un edificio muy antiguo no apto para gente mayor.

Charming
The Palms is charming and friendly. But be aware that it’s a very old building and has its quirks. We had a very small room and tiny bathroom but it had the essentials. There’s no heat if it’s cold. The breakfast was fine. The location was good for our tourist purposes, in a nice neighborhood. We were glad to have stayed there.

Charming hotel
Very quaint and unique property. Originally two separate Victorian homes (1880) that have been blended into a seemles charming hotel. Complimentary breakfast had a nice assortment, rooms are very clean and well apointed. It's location is in the "quiet" part of Old Town so it is a bit of a walk to any action. We rented an eCart from A&M.
The pool is salt water. Happy hour is from 3-5 at the cabana bar pool side.

Nice clean room. Property is very Florida. Pool was great. Nice little happy hour by the pool. Pitfall is not enough parking right by the hotel. Had to park 2 streets over.
