Stayed here 3 times in last 10 years during spring breaks. This is a great little hotel for that purpose. The location and deck on duval st can't be beat. The rooms themselves are just ok. The staff,renner, is helpful. I would recommend the third floor suite if you have a large group.

This hotel has older and newer rooms, just make sure you know what you are booking. The older rooms were perfectly clean and in just a good location but they were very dated. I would still definitely recommend them for anyone on a budget. The biggest issue was there was no parking and they were very strict about pulling into... More

Had one of the small rooms - the room was clean, the staff is super friendly. The hotel was exactly what we needed - a place to sleep after a day of walking all over Key West. We would definately stay there again!! There is a large porch on the second floor that overlooks Duvall St - neat place to... More

We wanted into the Southern Cross looking for an affordable room, and ended up with their only open accomodations; a third-floor suite. The staff was friendly, informative, and characters in their own right, as is the hotel itself. This place is OLD, though they've done a fair decent job of updating it. Room keys are just that, keys, like the... More

We were frankly looking only for handy accommodations at a price lower than most. We got that, and more - from a place that most tourist guides seem to ignore. The lobby and front desk, located on Eaton Street, were very nice and the proprietor, Renner, was friendly and helpful in all regards - including steering us to low-cost or... More

The front desk was very helpful and friendly. The location was also awesome. We were able to walk anywhere within down town. The room was just ok. The comforter had stains on it along with the walls. The wall stains were yellowish and it made you wonder what kind of stain it was. We also had a few bugs in... More

Location is in the heart of Duval, staff on check in was nice and helpful, but.... we stayed 3 nights, the first two nights were okay, despite the loud air conditioner and clanging fan. On the third night, our neighbors had an all out, all night fight... 3 adults in a 2 person room with door slamming, screaming, moving out... More

This is my last day in key west. I have been to key west at least 25 times during the past few years and have stayed at various places from friends homes to condos to small rooms at inns. The southern cross was exactly what I expected it to be. The room is very basic and small but traveling alone... More

My daughter and I spent four nights at this lovely hotel over Thanksgiving 2012. The rooms were clean, well furnished, and comfortable, but the best part is the perfect location. Everything in Key West is within easy walking distance, since the hotel is right on DuVal Street just a few blocks from the waterfront. The hotel is expanding and undergoing... More
