“Great, would stay again!”

Best Western Hibiscus Motel

4 of 5 stars
Saranac, Michigan
May 7, 2008

Fresh and clean, no musty smells, nice pool, room decor needs a little updating. Small refrigerator and microwave, good TV. No fan in the bathroom, only a window for ventilation, causes problems at times. Air conditioner was weak but adequate. Breakfast was ordinary, with cereals, fruits, toast and bagels, warm hard boiled eggs, juice, milk, coffee. The front desk was very helpful and friendly, very willing to suggest restaurants, attractions and directions. Computer was provided for internet access, and although we did not use it, wi fi was available.

Great location a few blocks from the southernmost point and one block off Duval at the quiet end of the island. It was an easy walk to the busy end of the island, a maximum of 13 blocks. Taxis can get you to the busy side for about $8 if you don't want to walk.

Plenty of good restaurants within four or five blocks.

We would stay here again, it was a good value.

“I enjoyed my stay”

Best Western Hibiscus Motel

4 of 5 stars
Boston, Massachusetts
Apr 30, 2008

This hotel is a great value. Our breakfast was included, and there is a heated pool in the hotel. Our room was large, and parking is included, since this is a motel.

The staff was very helpful both at checkin, and they recommended and helped us book a snorkeling boat trip.

As far as the location... the hotel is a 10 minute walk from Hemingway House, and about a 20 minute walk from the marina area, so it's not the most convenient if you're planning on spending all your time on that side, but, like I said, it is still a good value.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — friendly staff
    • Disliked — the decor... your standard flowered bedspread stuff, but this is a small thing

“Good value hotel away from the crowds of Duval St”

Best Western Hibiscus Motel

5 of 5 stars
London, England
Apr 27, 2008

Booked on Tripadvisor recommendation as part of our 3 and half week tour of Florida. Stayed here for 2 nights in April and now wished we had booked for longer. Hotel was fine and clean but nothing special. It had a nice warm pool and breakfast was served inside by reception and was adequate. Pool area with hot tub did not have many sun beds but we always managed to get beds eventually as most people tended not to stay inn the hotel during the day. The hotel is right opposite the Southernmost Hotel and 1 block from Duval St. Be aware that to get to the ‘happening’ end of Duval St and Mallory Square its quite a hike, but if you leave yourself half an hour for a slow walk that should do it. I actually liked being a bit away from all the noise and party goers and if you are too tired or drunk to walk back at the end of the evening you can get a taxi bike as we did which was great fun! I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and will stay here again when we next visit Key West, which we fell in love with

“Needs some updating, but not to bad”

Best Western Hibiscus Motel

3 of 5 stars
Rochester, MN
Apr 12, 2008

Stayed at the BWH April 3rd and 4th, My wife noticed a damp smell as soon as we entered the room, I dismissed it as her imagination at first. The room was clean and spacious, but the furnishing's could use some updating. We stayed in 117 which had a tile floor which we did not care for. The beds definatly needed replacing as the matresses both had a concave appearance and when you slept both people rolled toward the center of the bed. The pool area is excellent and the breakfast is good (hard boiled eggs, begals, cereals, waffles ect..) location is great close to southern most point and 1/2 block from trolley stop and bike/scooter rental. I noticed the damp smell more by the second day and wondered if a second floor room was better. after reading previous post I guess not. I would stay here again, as it was not to bad but may try another hotel if price is right.

“Quiet, clean, and a good value”

Best Western Hibiscus Motel

4 of 5 stars
Celebration, Florida
Apr 6, 2008

We stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are quite large, and ours was painted a cool, relaxing blue. It even had plantation shutters on the windows which was a nice touch. We had a kitchenette with fridge and microwave and a table for two. The bathroom was quite small, but there is a vanity with sink in the bathroom with toilet and shower/bath and outside the bathroom as well. Two sinks helps more people get ready faster! The climate control was great, and the beds were comfy. There was a closet that had lots of room and a tv with an extensive channel lineup...more than usual. They offer a simple breakfast which included cereals, boiled eggs, toasts and bagels, juices, etc. They also provide free Internet access via a lobby computer. The courtyard pool and hot tub area are clean and relaxing. We swam twice and enjoyed being able to relax that way after a long day of walking and touring. Parking on property is free!
The property is located on Simonton, which runs parallel to Duval one block to the east. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the heart of the downtown action of Duval and Green streets, but it is nice to be away from the noise! There is an Old Town Trolley stop about a block away which makes it easy to sight-see, and the hotel sells tickets at the front desk. The Southernmost Point marker is about a 5 minute walk. The hotel is clean, quiet, and I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent value in Key West.
