The Gates Hotel Key West Newly Renovated

Needs a good cleaning and touch up work . We found what appears to be blood stains on shower curtains . Loose show handle and front door handle . The shower had hair on the floor and walls and was unkept

I did not like fee resort more than $50 per day.

After arriving at the property, we were directed (by a note on the front door) to the hotel next door for checking in and out. The room was clean and nice however there was only one chair, a very nice rattan chain that sat very low to the floor. There wasn't a table or any other place to sit except the beds. it really could've used a table with 2 chairs at a minimum. My reservation called for a courtyard view but we had a parking lot view. (Not a big deal) The pool area was super nice with a bar and music (a bit loud for my taste by not so loud it chased me away! $15 per day parking I think is a bit much! Also a $50 per day resort fee, again ridiculous.

I am truly grateful for hotels like this one where they allow your pets to stay. It’s convenient. It’s easy. Everyone was super friendly and really nice and accommodating. I’ve stayed there before and I’ll stay there again. Thank you !

Bad food was great

The hotel is now merged with 24 next door. We used both properties to relax by the pool, to have a bite to eat and a drink. If we did not have access to the 24 property our stay would have been disappointing. The pool, restaurant and bar, the workout room, and yard games at the rear of 24 is much more like a little island getaway. Be sure to choose a pool view room at the Gates because the other views are of the parking lot or the busy highway, if you are there to relax. The concierge was very helpful with Key West activity planning, the lobby at 24 was pleasant and the front desk employees were kind.

Spacious

The newly eenovated Gates hotel had everything we needed. Even though its a smaller hotel by comparison, there are 2 pools, a rum bar, a Starbucks, and the 24 Hotel has a concierge. The room was comfortable and clean. Hospitality services kept in touch via text which made it easy to request additional towels when needed. I would definitely stay at the Gates Hotel again.

We had a wonderful time at The Gates. Our room attendant did a great job, the pool areas are beautiful and the music and bartender made the pool area fun. We’d love to come back but my only complaint is the nickel and dime charges on our bill. Resort fee after we paid so much to stay here already. Ridiculous. Island Outreach Contribution- no idea what that is. Taxes on everything- Occupancy, State, Resort Fee, Resort Tax, Island Outreach. It just didn’t end. I understand some taxes are unavoidable but we’re not explained to us, but some are also ridiculous overages to the guests. Would I recommend this hotel? Yes, just be aware that the extra charges add up really quick beforehand.

Bartenders are awesome.
