USWarm, cozy, comfortable, relaxing. Bed was very inviting.
Steps to the top, but that's the room I chose. No fault to them.
It is a beautiful property. I was disappointed that the rooms have no TV, Microwave or Mini-refrigerator. Those seem like standard things in even a cheap hotel. And this was not cheap.
USEnd of June 2025 ~ Wonderful weekend in the Keys thanks to the lovely accommodations at the Mermaid & Alligator. Once inside the gates of the property, we were met by a lush patio oasis with a beautifully appointed and clean room that perfectly captured, in stylish fashion, the look & feel of Key West living. A small plunge pool with water temp in 86° range was very nice and allowed one to better appreciate the garden, vegetation, and ambiance. Courtesy pool towels are available poolside. Layout of property minimized contact with other guests and really made one feel you had the property largely to yourself. Glassware provided for drinks, with complimentary soft drinks, water, and snacks. There is a small ice machine available as well. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash included. No TVs in the room provided a refreshing break from the 24/7 news cycle - and of course, you always have your phone with free wifi included if you can't resist. We had no fridge in the room either, but with the common area fridge stocked with water, soft drinks and the occasional beer, and the communal fridge centrally located; we really didn't need it. Located right off of Truman Ave, closer to the Southernmost point than Sloppy Joe's Bar & Restaurant, the neighborhood is extremely nice and felt very safe. We combined walking and driving to see the town. It was quite warm during our visit, so we drove a bit more than we originally planned, but with parking readily available everywhere we went, and things being so close, there were no issues. Speaking of parking: Parking on the property was limited, but free parking on the street is literally located just feet away and was readily available. A daily breakfast is included, which other guests told us was quite good, but sadly our schedule didn't allow us to enjoy it ourselves. The hostess & small housekeeping staff were very pleasant and inconspicuous unless needed.
Excellent Staff SUPER CLEAN Breakfast was AWESOME, Welcoming WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN.
All good!!
Excellent stay! We will be back. Great staff. Quiet location. Beautiful gardens. Relaxing pool.
USI was honestly blown away by this place! The backyard is truly an oasis - I could’ve sat there all day and have been perfectly content. We were in the Sun Room, it was so cute we definitely want to book the same room again! It was really nice to be able to park at the residence, as another we stayed at required us to park at paid parking. Highly recommend!
Nice and cozy
Excellent property on Truman with off street parking. Staff is super friendly and helpful. It’s an easy walk to Duval Street and all the happenings down town. Place is absolutely lovely and will stay again.
