The Perry Hotel Key West

We stayed at the marina on a yacht but went to the bar and restaurants and pool at the Perry. The front desk staff were courteous and helpful, the Salty Oyster crew was the best, and James and the other pool staff couldn’t have been better. They kept us in water, towels, and an umbrella during our stay and made sure we never needed anything. It was an awesome trip and the Perry facilities staff made it that much better.

We stayed in May for a long weekend. We booked the nicest suite. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, but we felt compelled to write a review so as to prepare people for what they are in for. It is a great hotel, but the location turned us off from considering this hotel again. The hotel has a great vibe. It is modern and well appointed. It is clean and the staff is very friendly. If you come to Key West often and you want a stay away from the downtown bustle, it is worth a try. It clearly has a cult following. However for us first timers to Key West who will make only one trip, the location was too far from the action. We regretted not staying downtown Key West. The hotel is located 15-20 minutes from downtown historic Key West. There is a shuttle bus. However, it does not run frequently enough nor late enough if you plan to stay out late. At one point, my wife had to sit on my lap while 6 people were left waiting 30 minutes for the next shuttle. The Uber ride at the end if the night was a buzz kill. As for Stock Island itself.... the hotel is built on the edge of a marina. They have done a nice job creating a welcoming resort feel on a marina, which is otherwise situated in a very underwhelming neighborhood. Sailboats mask the view of industrial oil tanks on the far side of the marina. The neighborhood is not somewhere you can explore or walk around. The hotel does a great job at marketing itself. The price is high considering you are actually very far from the Key West action. So while we did really enjoy the hotel and have positive things to say about the property itself, we did feel let down by the location, surroundings, and difficulty in actually experiencing the main attractions of Key West.

My new husband and I stayed at the Perry Hotel for five days (a Monday- Friday) in early June for a trip to Key West. We knew we wanted nice, modern amenities, away from the nightlife but close enough to easily experience it, and that’s just what we got! Pluses: + Very nice hotel. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the design, decorations, ambiance, layout, etc, both across complex and in rooms + Check in was super easy, staff is very friendly (and plentiful). Glass of champagne on check in a nice touch. + Big rooms (we stayed in a Stock Island Suite) that left us plenty of room for our stuff, nice walk in shower and bathroom. + Balconies on every room that were great to grab morning coffee or hang out with a glass of wine (we were on 2nd floor facing the pool/marina; view was beautiful). Some other reviews said it was loud, but we found the sliding glass doors to be very noise cancelling, especially with a wedding party staying across the way in a suite, we heard them outside at night but not in our room! + Restaurants were awesome (we had breakfast twice and dinner once at Matt’s, and dinner and drinks at Salty Oyster; Barrel House was not open when we were there). A bit expensive, but so is everything in Key West + Stock Shop sold coffee, twelve packs, and some small items and was a nice bonus + Shuttle to Key West every hour- was crowded at key times but we got a seat every time + Dolphin Safari Charters leaves right from the marina- really awesome evening boat ride to dolphin watch and snorkel + Free parking Minuses (very few!) - As a few other reviewers have said the same, but beds are a bit uncomfortable. We aren’t great sleepers as it is, but beds made it a little harder. - Shuttle definitely gets busy, and with the resort fee, it would have been nice to have one running a bit more frequently. - There are two pools, but one main one by all the action and one far back. The main pool was very crowded most of the time we were there, so hard to find a spot in the shade. Those working the main pool were very friendly though. The back seemed kind of forgotten- which is great for a quieter pool, but there’s no food, umbrellas, etc back there. Overall our experience was great and we would love to come back!

My first visit to The Perry was shortly after in opened in December 2017. I loved it then and still do today having just returned on Saturday. The whole staff and most especially Jayme and James at the desk, Zack and Angie at SOB were super cordial and helpful. Jayme even helped in rescuing a baby morning dove that fell from its nest :) As with all popular destinations, The Perry is showing some signs of wear, however I understand that management is doing their best to keep up with repairs and improvements. My hope is that they will continue to offer the finest accommodations and service for years to come. See you again soon, Perry friends!

The hotel was in the perfect location for my husband and I to get away from work and spend time together. Was far enough away from Duval St area to avoid all the congestion and number of tourists, and close enough to go walk around during the day. The room and hotel had a very relaxing atmosphere that it did not make you feel that you wanted to leave for the day.
