Days Inn Key West

Nice Staff, Ok Room and the lobby lady who tells you about what to do in the area was helpful.
The pool at this place was prrrrettty nice!
The location is easily accessible as you drive into Key West it is literally the first thing you find. There is a Waffle House attached to the lobby with an adjoining door, they are not related… just connected.

Tell me this: how in the world does a hotel not have a corkscrew?! Long story short, according to the staff, this place doesn’t have one. (Later, I learned the bottle I was trying to open was a screw-​top anyway.)
The room was pretty clean and didn’t smell bad. The staff who work here were nice. There is free coffee/​tea in the lobby ²⁴⁄₇. Even though the sheets were clean they did not fit on the mattress properly, and one corner kept coming off and exposing the mattress. The bathrooms don’t have the best ventilation. There’s a pool on the property which looked clean. There’s also a free shuttle into the touristy parts of Key West. It looked like there was WiFi at the place, but it didn’t work in our room.
The thing that I liked least about this place is that immediately after checking in you’re directed to go see the ‘concierge’ who proceeds to orient you to Key West, but the whole thing feels like he’s trying to get you to buy something. I felt uncomfortable talking to him because I don’t think he was being objective about what’s available on the Island.

Pretty dismal for the price of $ 188 per night. There’s a hotel down the street from my house in Portland, Oregon — of the same caliber — that charges $ 59.99 a night. For that price, this Days Inn would get a much higher ranking.
Not that I wouldn’t expect to pay a lot more in Miami, but this hotel is set a mile off the Key West strip — and even then, the town is no South Beach.
I’m not saying the room was visibly dirty, although I’d be afraid to take a black light to it.
I thought the bathroom was adequate (clean), but one of my travel companions disagreed. The others didn’t have an opinion (they’d seen worse and they’d seen better).
I liked that there was a coffee pot in the room — that makes individual cups of coffee… but that one amenity wasn’t worth the steep price.
I needed extra blankets, which housekeeping was happy to give me.
The hotel was quiet so we either came in the off season or the walls are well insulated.
There’s a diner attached (the Waffle House) that had a dollar menu. Even though the food was greasy, it was better than most fast food.
This was the cheapest hotel in Key West — which is why my frugal friend who booked it, booked it… and I’d stay here again… but only for a night. Any longer of visit and I’d pony up the money for something nicer, closer to the water or where the action is.

Would definitely not stay here again. First, when we checked in, we noticed that the large lamp at the front of the room was not working. Called the front desk to let them know. They said they would send someone over to check on it. When we checked out, this issue still hadn’t been resolved.
Second, room did not have an ironing board and iron. We were getting ready to head out to dinner, so I went to the lobby to request them. Reception had a huge line, so I asked the concierge about it. She told me all she could do was tell the front desk once they had taken care of their long line. When I asked if she could just direct me to housekeeping, she rudely brushed me off. I happened across housekeeping in the hall on my way back to our room, and they were nice enough to bring the iron and ironing board right away. The one that the front desk sent showed up almost 30 minutes later, as we were heading out for the night.
Third, I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible sinus congestion and a headache. I suspect this is because of dirty filter or a mold problem in the room.
On the plus side, yes, the motel is far from attractions, but there is a convenient shuttle that runs back and forth. While I would consider staying on this end of the island again, I would not stay at the Days Inn. It’s just gross.

Everything is expensive there and this one is ok already compared to other inns. Still a bit expensive, and it has a mandatory service fee of 10 bucks.
24 hour hot water /​coffee /​tea /​chocolate in lobby and free shuttle to downtown key west starting at 7am everyday.
There was a 24 hour open waffle house near lobby.
Free parking. free wifi. It’s pretty ok place for staying on key west with 10 minutes drive to the other end of the key.

Your typical Days Inn. Nothing fancy about it, but you’re in Key West to explore… not to stay in your room! The rooms were a nice size for 2 of us, beds were ok, rooms clean. The pool was nice to jump in and cool off before going out exploring. The Waffle House food is also to be expected but the wait staff was not very friendly. Would definitely stay here again if we needed to stay at a cheaper place.

This place is ok… Fine, it’s not the fanciest hotel around and (for some) it may be a bit inconveniently located, but, you ARE in Key West, and you — most likely — wont be spending that much time in the room. Just one thing though… FOR GOD’S SAKE PUT REFRIGERATORS IN EVERY ROOM ! I know, this is an extra expense for the company, but, for crying out loud, this is Key West, and it’s (usually) hot and you need some place to keep your drinks cool… It’s laughable that you actually have to ASK the front desk for a refrigerator

I had to make a last minute hotel change for my trip and used
to look for rates and this was the cheapest. I am typically very cautious about booking hotels and making sure they meet my standards. This hotel is away from everything, and as soon as we got onto the island I instantly knew our hotel would be crap. The parking lot is scary and the Waffle House just totally turns me off. The hotel staff that was there when I checked in was friendly but totally creeping in checking me out when I walked in the door. I don’t care if you are male or female 21 or 51, be courteous to your customers as well as respectful.
I got to my room, that face the parking lot, I hate that and it reminds me of an hourly motel. The room was gross and we quickly took an inventory of the bed, bathroom and determined it would be ok, since most of our time would not be spent at the hotel and honestly what other choice did we have? There was an empty place in the dresser where there may have once been a small refrigerator, they should have replaced it.
One day we decided to partake in the pool. I went to the lobby to get towels and had to wait at least 20 minutes. I overheard the staff mentioning the nightly fee they add to the hotel rate and it’s for all the amenities that you use such as the pool and the shuttle, I rolled my eyes– there are NO amenities at this place, it’s an amenity to be able to leave and explore the island.
I will not be staying here again, I can’t believe the price we payed for this place, I’ve stayed at CHEAPER, nicer, more comfortable hotels near Disney.

If you are in Key West and paying attention to your room, you are doing it wrong. It’s on the island, they have a Waffle House and that’s about it. The shuttle they have sucks — it gets full really fast and stops running around midnight. Their location is away from most everything, but that is generally why the price is lower. Plan ahead and it’s not a bad base of operations.

GROSS. We were on a last minute vacation to southern Florida, and were trying to save a few bucks by staying here. Our other option was to camp… we wish we’d camped!
Good:
1. Staff was friendly.
2. Concierge was great: we booked a private fishing charter (Meridian Charters) for 6 hours for two people, $ 600.
3. Basic Folgers Coffee available in the lobby.
4. Free wifi, albeit slow.
5. Convenient location.
Bad:
1. Room was small. #103
2. We only needed one bed, but got two. Goes with out saying how uncomfortable the bed was.
3. Dirty. There was some sort of blue residue all over the bathroom. The floors and baseboards were filthy. I can’t imagine the state of the carpet.
4. Shower didn’t drain. Take a quick shower, and fill up the tub? Eek.
We didn’t venture into the pool, and didn’t spend much time in the room. It was in the least, a bed. But the place was dirty, and still expensive for a Days Inn, or any place of that quality. Terrible value. Would never return or recommend.

Shit hole

We stayed here one night; would have been happy to have stayed longer. It’s expensive except that for the location it’s reasonable, maybe cheap.
As others have said it’s clean. There are big nicks in the woodwork and if that kind of thing bothers you don’t stop here but otherwise I wouldn’t hesitate.
And the Wi-​Fi worked very well for us. And the bed was good.

Ok, the Days Inn is nothing fancy, but after the horror-​movie moment we suffered while almost getting a room at the nearby Blue Lagoon motel (STAY AWAY!), stepping into our neat, clean hotel room felt like walking into the Ritz, and for a far better price.
So yes, it’s nice and clean, the beds are comfortable enough (awful pillows though), and the shower is great. You get basic toiletries, a little hairdryer, room safe, cable TV, two locks on the door, thick drapes. And there’s a Waffle House connected to the hotel lobby! Yay budget eats! Speaking of eats (and drinks), there’s free coffee, juice, and hot cocoa in the lobby round-​the-​clock.
You might want to pack some earplugs unless you’re a super-​deep sleeper, though, because the walls are pretty thin and the maintenance people start to roll around their cleaning carts past the rooms bright and early in the morning.
So, again, you’re not getting much character or local color and you shouldn’t expect anything fancy by staying here, but you’ll get a nice, clean room, a friendly staff, and a decent night’s sleep at a great price.

If you plan on staying here because you want to explore Key West I would have to advise you to book another hotel. This location is actually 4 miles out from the main attraction in downtown Key West. There are lots of bed and breakfast inn and other hotels that have better location. Overall the stay here is decent since your room is fairly sized plus you have a living room. There are 2 TVs, one inside your bedroom and one in the living room. If you have a large group of friends this would be a cheap place since there is a large space for everyone to bunk with sleeping bags. However, like I said before, if you plan on touring the Key West experience I would book something else closer to Duval street where all the tourist attraction is.
Tip: Don’t go the the Waffle House — It sucks.

I’m sitting on a bit-​too-​firm bed in this hotel right now. It’s not too expensive and completely adequate if you don’t plan on spending much time in your hotel. The place is clean. All rooms open to the parking lots (no hallways) so it can get pretty noisy. The towels are scratchy but the shower is nice. It’s a little far (several miles) from the downtown area, but rent some scooters and you’re fine.
Overall, I probably wouldn’t stay here again, but I wouldn’t discourage anyone from renting a room.

I booked a room in this hotel in advance some months before my travel to key west so I got a really good rate, once there the room was simply ok, bathroom was clean, bedding was clean also but the mattress and box spring was just annoying, noisy, squeaky, you really can’t move to turn over without making it make noises, Hotel is located in a quiet area but kind of far from Duval street
