Our Review
Okay, let's get this said: of the resorts on Key West (the others being the Hyatt, Sheraton, Ocean Key, Wyndham, and Pier House), the Doubletree Grand Key is the tops. The others are not bad, it is just that this one is best. There are other places to stay with the word 'resort' in the name, but they don't even come close.

The Doubletree Grand Key has every possible amenity you could want, from a great concierge (tell Melissa 'hello') to an amazing 2500 gallon aquarium in the atrium, to a huge pool, to Sony playstations in the rooms, to sauna tubs, private restaurants, tiki bar, and activities... this is it! Other resorts have better locations, but that makes no difference in the quality of your stay (unless you plan on going all the way to Key West and then never leaving the resort. Then go to the Hyatt, Wyndham, or Pier House as they have some beach access of their own). This resort has more class in its lobby than most other hotels have in their entire properties!

The only thing that the DTGK does not have is a beach view. This is because it sits about a block inland down its own private lane palm-shaded that is like a gateway to a world of its own, where palm trees arch overhead and lush vegetation and blooms abound everywhere. Truth be told, you will not miss the beach, the public beach on this side of the island is convenient but not fantastic, and you should really check out the beach down at the park at Fort Zachary Taylor anyway if you want beach time.

For those of you who have done more extensive traveling, the Doubletree Grand Key reminded me very strongly of some of the better resorts on Hawaii, specifically along the Kaanapali coast on Maui and the Kona coast on the big island. None of the other resorts did that for me. If you liked it there, you will love it here (for about a quarter the cost).

Go enjoy Duval by all means, have a good time at the shops, bars, and restaurants and then come back here to savor the luxury. You will love it here, anybody would. You will not have to worry about loud neighbors as you may have to elsewhere. If you have ever stayed on Key West before you know that being able to get away from the ongoing party that is Key West is as important as being able to get to it.

Who should stay here? Absolutely anybody, and this includes you. If you have a teen with you, really consider going here, you will come away a hero. Same if you are in a serious relationship and traveling with your significant other, or have a personal holiday to share with a spouse.

My wife and I stayed here for the first time in January 2005, and thought it was truly a lovely hotel. The decor is beautiful and very relaxing with all the ceiling fans and overstuffed furniture. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool and tiki hut bar are great. And the shuttle service is very dependable and timely. It's a wonderful hotel!

Very nice hotel it is very clean and well decorated. My room was at the back of the hotel next to the receiving door. The delivery trucks and carpet cleaning truck were very loud outside my window all morning which woke me up. After talking to the manager I was placed in a room over looking the pool and the rest of the experience was excellent! The hotel is well away from anything else except the beach about 3/4 a mile away so the $10 a day parking fee did not make much sense. Parking ramps next to Duval Street did not even charge that much.

My wife and I were at the DoubleTree on June 27th through July 1st. This was our first visit to Key West. The hotel staff was great. The shuttle service was great. We only eat breakfast at the hotel but it was good as well. We would go back and want to go back. The day trips are very nice especially Dry Tortugas NP.
