Stayed with partner

We had a wonderful stay at the Independent Inn! The new owners Emma and her husband are very nice and working very hard to upgrade all elements of the property which is still a work in progress but did not detract from our stay in the least. The location is good because you are just a 5 minute walk to all the waterfront bars and restaurants at the A&B Docks and just maybe a 15 minute walk to Mallory Square. On street parking was free and they offered a free light continental breakfast to help start your day. Having a pool during the blistering heat of mid August was a bonus as was the room rate which was very reasonable. All in all a great stay!

Stayed with friends

I appreciated the early check-in, and the property was fairly clean. However, the fan in my room did not work, and there was no way to control the in-wall AC unit, leaving the room quite stuffy. Additionally, the front desk staff did not explain the property amenities upon arrival, or explain much at all. For nearly $500, I expected far more hospitality and a much better overall experience. I ended up spending most of my stay at a different property with the rest of my group.

Air conditioning didn't really work that great at first. But the maintenance man fixed it the same day. Other than that had a good time. Needs a few repairs, but all in all good stay.

This hotel is charming, but I'm not sure it's ready for prime time at this moment. We had warm water one day out of our 6 night stay, and the other days it was only slightly better than cold. The remote controlled ceiling fans/light (although a nice touch) would randomly turn the light on in the middle of the night and would continue to do so until power was cut to the fan via the light switch. I'm not sure if another guests remote control use would bleed through the walls or what, but it was super annoying. We love a fan when we sleep, and I hated give that up due to the light randomly coming on. The pool was cloudy every time we used it, and I never saw the skimmer running. I don't know if it was run the entire time we were there or not, but it was obvious that the filters were not doing their job. They are working on the place, and I know it will be better in the future, but as of now, it needs work. Husband and wife team running day to day operations here are sweet as can be, and I hope they get things turned around.

We had a fantastic stay at The Independent Inn! From the moment we arrived, the owner at the front desk was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Since we checked in after hours, they made the entire process seamless and stress-free. The property is currently under new ownership and undergoing renovations, but don’t let that deter you. We never experienced any loud construction, disruptions, or inconveniences during our stay. It’s clear they’re putting a lot of care into making an already charming place even better. After spending the day exploring Duval Street in the Florida heat and humidity, the pool was the perfect place to relax and cool off. The Independent Inn itself was cozy, comfortable, and had a laid-back atmosphere that made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a clean, welcoming, and well-located place to stay in Key West, we would absolutely recommend The Independent Inn. We’d gladly stay here again on our next trip!
