“Best Value in Key West”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The is the second time (both times in January) we have stayed at this hotel and the quality and value are the best in Key West. The hotel is not close to the main attractions of Key West, but it is just a short car ride away. The Trolly Tours stops at the hotel several times a day and it is a great way to take in all the attractions.. The hotel is near the airport but we only noticed the planes during the day, at night it is very quiet. Our ground floor room was quite large, we had a very comfortable king size bed, a sofa in front of a large window looking out on some palm trees and well kept grounds. The room had a fridge, microwave oven and wi-fi, the bathroom was large and very clean. They serve a great continental breakfast, although it was in the far end of the resort so it was a bit of a walk from our room. The gem of this hotel is the pool area, which is large, beautifully landscaped, and surrounded by palm trees. As we drove to Key West from Canada, we picked up a roomsaver coupon book at a Florida rest stop and there was a coupon for this hotel which made the Best Western Key Ambassador Resort Inn a great deal for the price..

“Great place!”

Down in the keys for one night. Chose this hotel based on price and it's a bit removed from the hustle and bustle. One exception, it's right next to the airport! No planes throughout night but they start at about 8:00 am and run through about 10:00. Beds were nice and comfy, nice linens as well. Overall a nice place to stay. Staff was great. Breakfast was nice with several options.

“A Nice Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We chose this motel because of it's price and that it is on the ocean. Upon checking in we were given an additional discount which mad the price even better. Our room was very spacious with a King bed, couch, table and even something like a 40" flat screen TV. The room was clean, the staff was very helpfull, and the grounds were well maintained. Unfortunaley we never had time to check out the pool area, although it also loked very nice. Guess we now have a reason to come back.

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We picked this hotel for the reasonable rates for a quick trip to Key West. It is next to the airport, however, we were not bothered in the night by air traffic noise. The room was clean, nice size, and enjoyable view out large picture window. The grounds were nicely kept. We enjoyed walking the waterfront walkway in front of the hotel and the shuffleboard game. The hotel is located in a less populated area of the island, yet just a short drive to the tourist attractions. We were not impressed with the breakfast, but would not hesitate to come back.

Room Tip: Some rooms face the water directly, others at an angle and some not at all. When you ask for a room...

“Surprisingly Nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We were apprehensive about this hotel after reading many reviews! Looking closer though it seemed like the worst reviews were from several years ago. I'd say based on the older reviews and the newer ones (giving a much higher rating) I'd say the hotel has undergone some major changes...through renovations, updating and possibly in management. The property is directly beside the Key West International Airport (which I don't think is very large). But other than some sporadic flights throughout the day, we heard nothing once inside our rooms. Initially we were given a very large room with a sofa area, small refrigerator & microwave. While the room was nice, we decided we'd like to be poolside in a room with a screened in balcony. When inquiring, we were advised the poolside rooms were an additional $20/night. We said not a problem. Then they said they decided to wave the additional fee! The free continental breakfast was slightly more than some continentals. There was the homemade waffle machine and plenty of fresh fruit (oranges, bananas, apples). The office had free coffee 24/7, free newspapers & free wi-fi. There were also 2 computers in the lobby area to use free of charge. The pool was huge (and NOT salt as one review had stated. Perhaps bromine is used rather than chlorine because there was no detectable odor to the water & it was very clean)...and the grounds around the pool were beautifully landscaped. At poolside was the Cheekie Hut with drinks/food for purchase. It would have been nice I think if the pool was open later than 8pm. Apparently the Keys aren't really known for their beaches (as I did not know previously) as the islands are on top of coral; but the ocean was directly across the street and there were lots of wide sidewalks, bicycle rentals (delivered to the hotel) for $15/1st day, $10/day subsequent. Overall we were very pleased with the Key Ambassador Resort Inn and would definitely return!

Room Tip: Our 1st room, while very large, and nice with harbor view, did not have any windows that opened. Th...
