    peaceful garden
    historic charm
    inviting pathways
    slippery tub

    Charming historic rooms with a delightful antique vibe set the stage for a uniquely nostalgic stay. The beautiful garden area provides a peaceful oasis with inviting pathways, perfect for leisurely strolls among blooming orchids.

    The bathroom lacked adequate shelf space for toiletries, making it tricky to keep everything organized. A slippery tub without safety bars presented a safety hazard, and the shower pressure could definitely use improvement. When it came to connecting with the outside world, the absence of a telephone in the room proved inconvenient, and narrow staircases made lugging luggage up to the third floor a challenge for those with mobility issues.

    comfortable room

    Had a lovely time soaking up the peace in the beautiful gardens and by the pool.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but honestly, it felt acceptable for the atmosphere and comfort.

    would come back for sure

    Our stay was lovely! The Cigar House King had a nice kitchen and a cozy living area. We enjoyed the heated pool area surrounded by lush gardens, which was great for relaxing. The room featured air conditioning, a balcony, and a microwave for late-night snacks. It felt like home while being right in the heart of Key West.

    relaxation opportunities
    beautiful gardens
    minor noise

    We had an awesome time soaking up the sun by the garden area and enjoyed many peaceful hours in the charming outdoor swimming pool. The vibe was just perfect for relaxation, but there were times when we noticed some noise from nearby guests during the evenings. Definitely check out the hammock on the balcony for the ultimate chill spot! 🌴

    spacious accommodations
    delightful perk
    single bathroom
    limited furniture
    minor inconvenience

    Staying in the Cigar House was a fantastic experience, especially with the hammock and view. It felt spacious and comfortably hosted four of us, and the kitchen was a nice touch. Access to complimentary drinks and snacks was a delightful perk. However, having only one bathroom was a minor inconvenience for our group, and I wished for more plush furniture in the living area. The location was perfect for walking to nearby attractions, making it easy to explore all day.

    garden pool area
    common area
    historic fort
    cleanliness issue

    Spent a great time with my group of friends here! We loved the beautiful garden and pool area. We enjoyed afternoons at the park, snorkeling at the beach, and exploring the historic fort nearby. The common area was perfect for hanging out, providing a relaxing space to unwind after our fun-filled days. Overall, a cozy stay in a vibrant area.

    Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue. The floors weren’t cleaned well, and our feet got dirty. While the maid did change towels and make the beds, we expected a bit more attention to detail.
