Staff was nice enough, But room was musty, smelled a bit and was dated. No thermostat to adjust individual room temperature. Bathroom was run down, and a little gross. No vent fan for the steam and sign on non functioning bathroom window said "do not use" Absolutely no parking, You have to block a busy street to load and unload luggage. Sleeping was tough between the Drag nightclub across the street bumping music till the wee hours of the morning only to fire up again at around 8 am to the roosters crowing on the property and all around starting at 12am and going all night. I won't say that the walls are paper-thin. but I listened to snoring in the other room and traffic both nights also. It wasn't all bad though, the heated pool was nice as well as the hot tub. The Central location would be nice for a younger/party crowd. Bicycle rental was reasonably priced here also. I would deal with most of this in stride if these rooms cost $70 a night. But at $200 plus these problems really need to be addressed.

Very nice place to stay. The outdoor pool and hot tub were excellent as well as the indoor Jacuzzi. The bed was very comfortable in the shower was really nice. Also, the breakfast option was also very good.

We liked that the Tropical Inn is located in the center of town but still provides a secluded pool area. It's location is ideal as it is very close to tons of restaurants/bars and shopping within walking distance

The place was really amazing! We really enjoyed the breakfast and ate outside by the hot tub which was really peaceful. They warned us about the noise from the bars but that is part of the key west experience. We had a great time and the staff was extremely helpful- with great recommendations and helpful suggestions - parking / restaurants / excursions - spot on…

Parking is an big issue. There is also a wooden louvered door to the bathroom in the Bamboo Room so limited privacy when using the jon. (We turned on the TV loudly so that we could not hear each other.) The hotel is also only one block from a LGBT drag bar and at times you can hear music of the YMCA genre. Otherwise, very clean, very nice service and breakfast brought right to your room.
