I love key West and we try to go there every visit to Florida for a few days. We always stay at the Doubletree Grand Key Resort, which is a bit away from Duval Street, etc. This hotel is very reasonable and has lovely rooms all done out in Floridian style. In fact, we managed to get a room with two king-size beds for three nights for only $60 per night last year (10-13 December 2004). They have a free shuttle bus which takes you to the centre of Key West and returns every hour. I was wondering if anyone else has stayed in Key West and knows of any other hotels we might try. I know you should probably stick to what you know and like, but I don't think there is any harm in trying something new occasionally. By the way, if anyone is traveling to Key West, you must try the Panda House chinese buffet, located on the main A1A (on your right hand side if you are travelling towards Key West). It is in Marathon and really is fantastic value and great food.
