“Heron House Court--simply good.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Roman, of course, was wonderful just as the other reviewers described. Breakfast was an assortment of bagels, fruit, croissants, meat and cheese, cereal and granola. The room was beautiful overlooking the pool area and the back balcony (not accessible directly from room). We spent the mornings on the front balcony of the inn reading books in the lounge chairs watching the people pass by. Location was great! We walked everywhere (except a day we rented bikes to go to the southenmost point--Roman had the bikes delivered to us!). Granted it was January and the heat was not overbearing. Walk to Fort Zachary was a bit long but it gave us a chance for some much needed exercise from all the wonderful food in Key West!! The pool was a bit unclean, so we did not try it out. However I did see another couple who was enjoying it. Otherwise the inn was fantastic and I would most definitely stay there again! Roman made us feel very welcome and at home!

Room Tip: Suite 10 was beautiful. Large room with a sitting area.

“Heron House Court”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We went down to Key West for our wedding. Staying at the Heron House Court was a wonderful experience with Roman being the key to that wonderful experience. He helped us with dinner reservations (Michael's - excellent place), finding the courthouse, and getting to the wedding. Anything we needed Roman found for us!

“Herron House - Roman style!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

My husband and I spent 5 glorious days here in November to celebrate a very special event. Thanks to Roman, Heron House was home from home. The place has great characterwith plenty of quirks, the decor is comfortable and relaxed and we loved the whole layed back style and atmosphere. Highlights - chats with Roman, sharing breakfast with other guests, enjoying the peace and quite by the pool in the shade, and generally feeling part of the place. Roman was superb in tirelessly sharing his local knowledge for days out, special restaurants and went to great trouble to find a fantastic hairdresser for me with very short notice. Herron House is an excellent location as it is quite but only a short walk away from the waterfront or Duval Street. Roman's kindness made our trip to Key West a most mermorable one. We would recommend Herron House Court not for its luxury but for its Roman welcome.

“Roman makes this place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I was quite pleased with our stay at the Heron House Court, particularly with our kind and wonderful host, Roman. He was very knowledgable about the island and very helpful when we needed it. The location was nice and central and close enough to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The hotel was quiet and very, very clean, and getting a junior suite is the way to go! I loved our room and the fact that it was two stories with a front and back entrance. My only complaint was the place needs some cosmetic maintenance and some money reinvested into the place to justify the rate they charge. The paint was bubbling in the living room with a big crack running down the wall. The fan blades looked rusty and either needed replacing or a good coat of paint. One of the chairs by the pool broke when my 165 lb. husband sat down on it. I am not writing this review to discourage anyone from staying here, but rather to encourage the owners to fix the place back up to its true potential. Even without the fixes that I hope they will make, the place is charming and a very nice find.

Room Tip: If they put a little bit of work into the Owner's Suite, that would be my pick of where to stay...

“Host Roman is the Secret to Heron House's Success!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

We were very pleased with this clean, quiet, and comfortable inn, and especially appreciated host Roman's warmth and charm, and endless patience in sharing his knowledge of Key West and providing excellent suggestions and assistance in booking everything from boat tours to restaurants to nightlife. He went above and beyond for every guest every day, and if there is one single reason why we would make a return visit to the Heron House it would be Roman. We didn't mind being off the beaten path and away from Duval. We enjoyed walking everywhere and seeing new and different things along the charming side streets of historic Key West. The only real area where there is room for improvement is the "breakfast" half of bed & breakfast. Choices were limited to mostly breads and cereal, a few cold cuts, and sliced American cheese. We would have loved some fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, better cheese. Also the pool was a tad disappointing (though we weren't there to hang around the pool), and the room, though perfectly fine, could be improved with a more modern television set, etc. These minor quibbles were all overcome by the value our host Roman added to our experience. He is a treasure!
