We had a wonderful stay at this charming little hotel in Key West, Florida! The hotel has a welcoming atmosphere, comfortable accommodations, and a lovely charm that makes you feel right at home. The location is great for enjoying everything Key West has to offer. The overall experience was excellent, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy, pleasant place to stay in Key West. We would definitely come back!

Great little spot for a quick trip to Key West. Nicely located and very walkable. We enjoyed the spacious room and very comfortable pool. Room was very clean if some what a little “lived in”. Could use a bit of a refresh but great value for the price! Would definitely stay again!

We had a good 4 nites in Key West. William was amazing and gave us such good advice with a great taxi company and several resturants. The property was very clean and quiet. Within walking distance to shops. All in all we enjoyed our time there. Thanks William.

The hotel it's self was very clean and quiet. You could not hear any other guests! It's location is great, a quick walk to the harbour. Parking is hit and miss. while free you might to search for a bit. Breakfast left much to be desired (just frozen waffles and fresh bagels), though this could have been because we were there in the off season. Over all we enjoyed our stay.

Very friendly staff, great location, good size room. It does need some upgrades though. The window AC was very loud and could use replacing. Everything was a bit old but still enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was ok, but the staff was super friendly and made our stay delightful.

We had a wonderful stay at the Independent Inn! The new owners Emma and her husband are very nice and working very hard to upgrade all elements of the property which is still a work in progress but did not detract from our stay in the least. The location is good because you are just a 5 minute walk to all the waterfront bars and restaurants at the A&B Docks and just maybe a 15 minute walk to Mallory Square. On street parking was free and they offered a free light continental breakfast to help start your day. Having a pool during the blistering heat of mid August was a bonus as was the room rate which was very reasonable. All in all a great stay!

Large space. Liked that the bedroom / bathroom were on an upper level. Close to the Key West and Yankee freedom Ferry dock.

Staff is wonderful. Walking distance to Dry Tortuga ferry. Would have given 5 stars but air conditioner didn't keep room cool.

I gave this place 5 stars bc of how awesome hospitable kind & precious Roman is - front desk. He made our trip better than it would’ve been if we didn’t meet him. I think he’s the happiest most kind human ever. The pool was nice and clean/ quiet. Basics for breakfast - can’t complain. In a great area. We will go again bc of Roman.

Absolutely delightful experience. We arrived after 11pm and keys were ready for us. The first room the a/c didn’t work, but it was late at night so we roughed it out. We let them know and they moved us to another, nicer space right away! They even offered to move our bags. Wonderful location, no more than 12 minutes to anywhere we wanted to go. Quiet and immaculately clean. Fantastic continental breakfast. Highly recommend. Very nice that it was adult only.

Great location, great owners and staff, great bed, really enjoy coffee and breakfast offerings every morning. Pool water looked like it was due for cleaning. Our room temp was ok, AC really struggled with the July heat. Only reason rating was 4 and not 5 stars.
Verified review

6/10 Good

I appreciated the early check-in, and the property was fairly clean. However, the fan in my room did not work, and there was no way to control the in-wall AC unit, leaving the room quite stuffy. Additionally, the front desk staff did not explain the property amenities upon arrival, or explain much at all. For nearly $500, I expected far more hospitality and a much better overall experience. I ended up spending most of my stay at a different property with the rest of my group.

We can't speak highly enough about the staff - Daniel, Emma, and Roman - who went well out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The facility definitely needs updating, which is currently being done room by room, but even though "tired" the rooms were remarkably clean. Breakfast is standard continental fare. Air conditioning is window units but extremely effective. The pool is nice and typically uncrowded. The facility is extremely quiet, both the location of the building itself and the rooms individually. We would definitely stay at the Independent Inn again and recommend it to others.

The stay here was pleasant & quiet. We stayed in room 5. It was small but cute. The shower will take a long time to heat up, and the toilet sits very low to the floor. There are not many outlets in this room and the one by the chair and bathroom door dosent work. We had also anticipated using the pool during our stay, but it was not running and dirty the entire week. Kind of bummed about that. Breakfast consisted assorted breakfast cereals, and plate of cold cuts ham slices and cheese, Bagels, bread, fruits. The coffee was in unmarked thermos's and didn't stay hot very long. Overall the property is in a quiet, walkable location, convenient to the Marina and Duval St.
