I would highly recommend the Independant Inn. The staff was exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay and experience in Key West were everything we hoped it would be. The property is clean and well maintained and just as inviting as it looks in the photos. If we have the opportunity to travel to Key West again I will not hesitate to stay there again.

Absolutely loved our stay! The bed was amazing and incredibly comfortable, and the location was fantastic for the price. The pool was also really nice and a great place to relax. The staff were some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met, and the owner was super nice and welcoming. You can really tell they care about their guests and want everyone to have a great stay. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back for sure! Highly recommend! ❤️

Room was spacious, clean, and AC window unit worked great but a bit noisy. Bathroom was updated and clean(warm when the door was closed, no AC vent). Breakfast in the main entrance was simple each morning. Women at checkin and checkout was lovely and very friendly. Location is just 4 walking blocks from ferry port and ten minute walk to Duval. Great location off the beaten path!!!

The property was cute, clean, and well kept. The main issue was the check-in process. I wasn’t able to get the door code or complete check-in ahead of time, so I had to ask other guests how they checked in. Unfortunately, this caused us to miss the opportunity to get ready for dinner in the room, and I ended up changing in the car without a shower. Later that evening, I was able to speak with the owner/property manager, who was very kind and helpful and walked us through the process. I understand that Expedia may limit what information can be shared for security purposes, but clearer check-in instructions would have made the experience much smoother.

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.

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.

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Amenities
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.
