Read it your way
The Saint Hotel Key West is an Autograph Collection boutique known for its rooftop lounge, craft cocktails at Tempt Restaurant, and direct access to Duval Street. Guests praise the comfortable mattresses, fresh linens, and friendly staff who offer personal recommendations. However, rooms are undeniably tiny, and reviewers frequently note the lack of bathroom privacy where you step directly from the room into the shower or toilet. 9320

Food15 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The rooms are beautiful and the food was great as well.” 12
- “I once stayed at the Fairfield closer to Duval and it was not bad. Had a nice outdoor breakfast set up.” 1
- “Santa Maria is nicer, but don't sleep on The Saint's weekend brunch...” 4
- “Pretty-Guava7854 • hace 2 a • Editado hace 2 a We actually really enjoyed the Courtyard Faro Blanco Resort. We actually really enjoyed the Courtyard Faro Blanco Resort. Nice pool and bar - a decent breakfast - nice rooms.” 1
- “After enjoying a few of the craft cocktails, it's time to focus on the menu, created from love and an intense attention to detail. It's an unusual menu that changes often, but dishes have included sea bass with local scallops, Caribbean inspired meals and a black Angus tenderloin that even now has me salivating.” 14
- “I asked the bar manager (who had served us the welcome drink) where I could find menus for all food offerings in the hotel. He said it would be easier if he went and collected them and he would bring them to our table. He disappeared for 20 minutes, returned to the bar empty-handed, and never said another word to us even though he looked in our direction multiple times.” 5
- “We actually really enjoyed the Courtyard Faro Blanco Resort. Nice pool and bar - a decent breakfast - nice rooms.” 1
- “They had an egg sandwich though with crispy potatoes. The egg did not seem bagged and made when we ordered. Plus, the avocado on it was fresh too. Potatoes were well seasoned. Now, this was a one off good breakfast at the Courtyard bistro, but we were impressed.” 1
- “I stayed at La Concha in early June. It's under construction and while that's fine the whole time we were there the wifi was out, pool was unavailable, and the only food option was the bar.” 1
- “The Saint is known for its daily happy hour during which time the restaurant discounts the small plates as well & it's actually great food.” 4
- “"We enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel and the fact that it's part of the Autograph Collection. The hotel's commitment to excellence is evident in its service and amenities."” 9
- “The on-site dining experience is another highlight with a fabulous rooftop lounge and sophisticated bar serving up craft cocktails and dectable cuisines. This aspect truly elevates your stay, making it delightful for food lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.” On camera200:31
- “Breakfast favors quality over quantity, offering a free continental breakfast as well as eight chef-prepared hot dishes at reasonable prices.” 11
- “It's also entering peak hurricane season. We actually really enjoyed the Courtyard Faro Blanco Resort. Nice pool and bar - a decent breakfast - nice rooms.” 1
- “Just like its hotel, Tempt is designed for couples-it's tables for two, plus a swanky-sexy bar. Drinks are the main event (there's even a gluttony cocktail for dessert) but the eclectic Caribbean-spiked dishes are surprisingly good.” 15
Location24 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The Saint if you want to always be in the action & have everything in easy walking distance.” 4
- “The positive points are that the hotel is perfectly located for being in the middle of all Key West activities, everything is walkable so we parked the car on arrival in the lot behind the hotel and never moved it until departure.” 5
- “I know this is almost a week later, but I've stayed at Santa Maria about 1/2 dozen times. Great location as it really isn't a far walk up Duval.” 4
- “I had a friend stay there several years ago and was really impressed with it. And location is great.” 18
- “The Saint is located in the very heart of the Key West experience, within stumbling distance of the most important sights, restaurants and, of course, bars.” 14

- “Location is great for going out drinking.” 3
- “Located just steps off Duval Street, The Saint Hotel Key West offers immediate access to the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Key West, making it an excellent location.” 9
- “In the opposite direction is the historic waterfront; only steps away from great water view restaurants and close to Waterfront Brewery Rooms are nice, not luxurious, but not a dive either.” 18
- “You are in a quiet area, but only a few blocks from Mallory Square and Duval, meaning you are right in the action, but will be nice and quiet when you want to wind down.” 18
- “The rooms are tiny (romantically themed) but the beds are nice. The location and bars are terrific.” 4
- “What about the neighborhood? What else will we find around here?You're in the heart of everything Key West has to offer.” 15

- “The hotel's location also uniquely sets it apart. Just a stones throw from Duval Street, you're right in the heart of Key West's night life. But you might miss that essential tranquility after a fun-filled night out.” On camera200:58
- “I've enjoyed staying solo at The Saint many times using Marriott points. The rooms are tiny (romantically themed) but the beds are nice. The location and bars are terrific.” 4
- “As for location, can't be beat if you're looking for late night debauchery on Duval Street.” 5
- “I rank this property up there near the top of my best Marriott hotels in the Florida Keys because it checks every box for me. They have an amazing location, wi-fi, a great bar, and bicycles you can use to cruise around the island.” 9

- “Convenient location near Duval Street's bars and restaurants” 16
- “Excellent, central location backing up to Duval Street” 11
- “The location is perfect for walking the area, it is a few minutes walk to Mallory Square and the marina. Lots of bars and restaurants within easy reach.” 12
- “Location wise the Saint is tough to beat if you're planning on hitting the bars...otherwise, I think the much larger rooms at SM are more worth it.” 4
Value9 mentions

- “Cabana Inn has great rates right now. Close to everything and a very cool property.” 1
- “"Excellent price and excellent location with staff to help and make your stay memorable - as if eating your way through New Orleans wouldn't be memorable enough."” 12
- “Also, the CONCIERGE at the Courtyard is an independent who only gets paid when he books you. I would avoid using him and booking excursions on your own--you'll get better deals.” 1
- “Destination Fee - Marriott Biscayne Bay is just a Money Grab.” 1
- “The Santa Maria were built as condos so you have a whole apartment. The Saint are only hotel rooms and the least expensive ones are tiny.” 4

Room8 mentions · 1 filmed
- “We were at the Santa Maria in November for 4 nites and i thought the location and the 2 bedroom suite was amazing!” 4

- “Boutique with sexy, eclectic decor ideal for design junkies” 11
- “As a measly gold I was upgraded from a standard room to a presidential suite. They run a free shuttle service to Duval street every hour and the restaurant is great.” 3
- “Consider avoiding the petite room if you prefer more space” 16
- “The room was clean and I would call the renovations a "refresh" rather than full renovation, e.g. old tub with rust, tiles obviously were not new, floors throughout were not new but in good condition.” 5
- “beautiful 1893 historic double Queen room next to two vowel somewhat smaller than the deluxe queen and may experience elevated sounds” On camera172:45
- “While the exterior looks like a simple bungalow, inside, the decor is eclectic, striking, and swish.” 11

- “Rooms are nice, not luxurious, but not a dive either. It's a beautiful hotel, but not adults only.” 18

- “The beds, towels and linens were all new and fresh. We did not want housekeeping but we caught the staff in the hall who happily gave us water and coffee pods for our second day.” 5

- “Staff took the time to get to know us, remembered our names throughout our stay, and gave us great recommendations.” 12
- “If she knew this all along, why did I have to drag it out of them? Honestly, I find it really offensive to have to resort to this kind of conversation to get the benefits due. It's embarrassing and I hate looking like some cheapskate, asking for what I can get 'free' when I'm only trying to get the amenities I earned and am entitled to.” 5
- “Rooms are decorated in the hotel's signature blue-and-white color scheme, with mood lighting to drive the vibe home. It can all feel like a bit much, but under the snazzy facade are contemporary and classy details, including Frette linens and Niven Morgan toiletries.” 15

- “Great to have 2 bedrooms and a kitchen (we stay there when we bring the kids) and it's a very nice secluded and cozy place.” 4
- “This one seemed different because it felt like an actual resort property and not just a hotel. Also, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Key West at The Keys Collection actually wasn't bad either and the staff was really kind.” 1
