Guest Reviews
- kristir001 (10/5): I'm glad we stayed! - This was our first trip to Key West, and we finally decided on the Marquesa Hotel. Even though the reviews were glowing, we were pleasantly surprised when we were shown to our room. The room was beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable and the large shower had great water pressure. The staff were friendly and eager to help. The hotel is a block from Duval Street (the main street in old Key West) and fairly centrally located. The first night, we ate at the Marquesa Cafe and we were not disappointed. Everything we ordered that night was amazing, as was the service. We would definitely stay here again!
- maryanncusick (10/5): An Oasis Close to everything - The Marquesa was in a perfect location, yet quiet and cozy. The first night in town we had dinner at the Marquesa Cafe. The meal was fabulous, best we had on the trip. We enjoyed our private balcony and also the warm swimming pool a few steps outside the door. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return to the Marquesa again in the future.
- KDelaneyPrice (10/5): Perfect balance of relaxing and close to fun - This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine at their gorgeous pool gardens but also be easily walkable to the hustle and bustle of key west. The staff was so kind and accommodating, room was very nice and clean, customer service was excellent. There was afternoon iced tea bar and homemade key lime pie cookies every afternoon in the lobby that I’ll think about forever bc it was so delicious.
- frankrP1270SU (2/5): Rediculous - Horrible service. Horrible quality control Expired coconut water 2025 Expired candy Everything expired. Charging way too much and they don’t care about the Consumer. They only care about their wallets and how much money they can make. My friend stayed in the sister building and they experienced jackhammer is going off first thing Saturday morning construction repairs why wouldn’t they schedule that for a weekday? Oh, they did it on a weekday as well Friday, but he let them slide till Saturday came and they did it again so he had to go to the front desk and say what the heck is going on here we’re paying premium amounts of money and we have to be woken up at 7:30 in the morning from a jackhammer shaking our entire room ridiculous I was beside myself when he told me this. But this is what happens when you go to a family owned place they don’t care about anything except how much money they’re making. Horrible customer service. Way overpriced no consideration at all. Just letting the general public know so that they are aware of what to expect if they decide to stay here find another place you can do much better than the Marquesa.
- STL49 (8/5): Good but not great in historic Key West - This is a fine hotel in a very good location. however, it is significantly overpriced even for pricey Key West. Our room in the annex was clean and comfortable, but inconveniently located across the street and down the block from the main hotel with its sitting room, front desk, better grounds/pools, and restaurant. The restaurant was understaffed with a single server at breakfast some days. They need to up their game.
- 423kl (2/5): Poor excuse for supposed luxury hotel - For this review, I will just list several deficiencies of the Hotel Marquesa in Key West. It is not worth my energy to do more. upon arrival, the air conditioning did not work in our room. Turns out the filters were so dirty they prevented the system from working Very few towels in the bathroom. Mold in the bathtub caulking. staff was rude- when asked to help arrange a golf cart rental, was told “just do it yourself online “ 4. no service at the pool. On the third day someone came with cookies and sangria in the afternoon. No way to order food or drinks. 5. The TV in the bedroom only received one channel 6. Water pressure was so low that both hot and cold taps were required to be open full in order to brush teeth. 7. In general no customer service of any kind. To pay almost $1000/ night for a suite in what was purported to be the best hotel in Key West, one would expect more. We cannot recommend this property to anyone and will never stay there again.
- michaeleP2099PV (10/5): Great stay at the Marquesa! - Great hotel. We picked it almost at random and loved it. Great location…3 minute walk to all the action on Duval but quiet. Staff was super friendly and room as very nice. Pool areas were very nice and well kept.
- jimk548 (10/5): We’ll be back - We had another lovely stay at this oasis on Key West. The staff and accommodations were outstanding. We also love the location, as it is centrally situated to our favorite haunts and restaurants.
- monicasempekp (10/5): Perfect! - Location close to everything. Clean, beautiful. The most comfortable beds! Highly recommend! We stayed at the newest location. If walking is difficult I would suggest staying at the original location. It was perfect for us as we walked everywhere. Also, paying for parking was definitely worth it. We arrived on Monday and street parking was full.
- HamlinGuy (10/5): Fantastic stay and fabulous meal - Nice quiet location away from the chaos of Duval. Room was spacious and balcony was nice. Also has the best restaurant in Key West.
- twood2015 (10/5): Perfect hotel in great location - Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. Everyone from the front desk person to bell staff were so helpful. They even helped me locate my lost wallet. The cookies were a nice surprise too.
- Inspire53622601775 (10/5): Great stay - Expensive but a lovely stay. No drinks available to purchase in pool area is the only let down. Have to go buy your own and bring back.
- torgym (10/5): A fabulous place to stay in the heart of Key West! - This hotel is a gem- great location, comfortable and well appointed rooms, and vey helpful staff. The pool was delightful and relaxing after a long day of walking. We had an amazing breakfast in the cafe. Highly recommend!
- markwoolfenden1 (2/5): A frustrating stay.. - The stay at the marquesa hotel was full of expectations on arrival which sadly didn’t deliver. It’s a lovely property in a central but peaceful location and I’d been told it was Relais & chateaux although it turns out later it wasn’t any longer which is good news as it wouldn’t deserve any re-admission to such a prestigious institution any time soon. It’s still a 2 key Michelin rated property that brings with it some expectations. How it got this rating is honestly questionable and without any rationale logic based on my three day experience and multiple stays at other genuine 1-2 Michelin key properties who are filled with hospitality warmth and a superior experience than I found at this property. Paying an average of over $1000 a night for a room ought to bring a degree of expectation of what should be a luxury boutique stay or so I thought! Staff on arrival were great and although staying a few buildings away down the road, we checked in and shown round by a terrific guy who does the car lot meet and greet and helped with luggage. He was the star of the show with a warm friendly atmosphere in an otherwise pretty underwhelming experience. The grounds and communal areas were nicely presented and you feel like it ought to be a quiet oasis. We discovered early on no turndown service on fist night and no bottled water in room. They charge $50 resort fee per night per stay so that felt a bit odd charging $50 resort fee on a first night stay with nothing but free WiFi which you don’t need in this day and age anyway. Maybe it’s a North American thing but I doubt the hotel could not afford to put two small bottles of water by the bed on a more traditional turndown experience offering, helping to justify the resort fee a bit better. We were told our rate we entitled us to a 2 person free drink per day during our stay so went at 5pm on our first night at the restaurant opening and found tables were booked, bar seats taken and told we could only have a drink to go! I can’t imagine many $1000 a night properties thinking this was a good solution offering a drink in a container to go as a coherent strategy for dealing with other guests! A hotel without a bar or one for guests (60 rooms) seemed a little odd. They couldn’t offer to send across to our room either but they’ve probably not got staff to fulfil that hence the ‘to go’ offering which is pretty awful given you are paying $1000/night and would think they’d have thought through the negative vibes this might give customers. The next day we were told we could have had in reception but that wasn’t offered the night before. We felt kicked out and rejected so went to downtown for an enjoyable Spanish Tapas dinner where a friendly waitress restored some faith that hospitality does exist in Key West. The next day the hotel offered ( after some complaining ) a credit of $50 which was nevertheless appreciated. Resort fees are really common now in the USA but $50 a day for so little other than towels, free tea and coffee seem aggressively priced, especially when charged on day 1 and they skip turndown to save on thier costs you’ve been charged for. I’ll come back to the credit and free drinks later! The room itself was great, overlooking a pool but the fridge kept me awake all night on our first night and you couldn’t turn off the balcony external lights - security we were told, in case someone cared to climb up to the first floor and break in! That light kept me awake a lot too on the first night. A noisy fridge, brights lights with no curtains and no free drink. Could it improve? The outside bulb was removed on day 2 when we were informed there we no switches to turn off the bright lights immediately on our balcony. The fridge still rattled but in daylight hours I worked out how to turn the machine off so we slept better. No one asked if I slept better or if there was anything more they could do. I found whenever we walked passed or saw any employee they tended to ignore us. The bed was very comfortable but our feet were regularly dirty walking on tiles they presumably were not cleaning often. Our fellow travellers also said their feet seemed to be really dirty too from their bedroom floor too and found the hotel to be significantly different than a previous visit. The turndown service we finally got to experience on the last 2 nights also was particularly underwhelming. It seemed to consist of closing a couple of blinds, one slide curtain and grabbing the pjs from under the pillow. No chocolate on pillow and nothing more. It wasn’t so much a turndown service as a turn up and leave as quickly as possible visit. They might as well not have bothered. The pools have a mixed experience as most not heated but one was but often filled with leaves and no pool attendent or mid afternoon clean up so by mid to late afternoon the pool had loads of leaves in. There’s no availability of drinks or food by the pool and the hotel is missing a trick not providing drinks by the pool or an opportunity to talk to guests! Or make more money from them. For a hotel of this standard an alternative honesty bar would work well if they don’t want to employ someone else to look after thier guests. The heated pool was also much colder on day 2 to extent not enjoyable without sunlight on the pool. It was very smelly in the main hotel area on one occasion with cooking smells from the kitchen but otherwise is quite tranquil, despite the kitchen air cooling humbling in the background. I can imagine that when the property was family owned and cared for, it was loved and sensational. But now, it felt very unfriendly lacking any genuine hospitality. Ii can only guess its shifted focus from hospitality to a cash cow for owners perhaps more interested in short term profits than caring if you come back or if they want to improve. You can’t help feeling they’ve cut out in small little areas which could so easily be fixed and help justify high prices. Right now, instead, you feel ripped off and overcharged in a very inhospitable environment. It made me reflect on how much better some hotels are where you arrive and feel wanted, respected and cared for in properties who often don’t charge as much of this. I love hotels, trying new places and in such beautiful surrounds as Key West you feel that the Marquesa Hotel is a hotel and boutique inn where its glorious days have sadly gone and won’t be repeated. I did complain but sensed no one was that bothered, no manger asked to be aquatinted during our stay to try and turn round our obvious disappointment. A file note was made on the credit. Even at checkout I was not asked if we enjoyed our stay or where we headed next. No one in the entire three days basically said hello or can we do anything to make your stay nicer? It surely doesn’t take much to ask. We did have a very enjoyable dinner in the hotel restaurant with food and staff much warmer on our last night. Two servers were charming. The man who kicked us out on night one was thankfully not on duty. So, as I checked out I insisted on seeing the folio/bill. Needless to say, The $50 promised credit hadn’t been placed on the account and none of the “free” drinks on day 3 we did manage to secure were not credited either. When the bill was emailed through I was sent a blank page with no information on it. It summed up how little was right, they seemed to enjoy getting everything wrong. I got the $50 credit and one drink credited and have now emailed three times saying they still owe me a credit for the second free drink as part of the package - I doubt it will ever be credited despite it being part of the deal. So, don’t assume you’ll get what your promised! The owners may well happily see us pass through take our money and not care if we ever came back. I expect it’s fine for some but the rates paid don’t reflect what you’d reasonably expect. By the time you’ve paid - in my case - $3200 on room rate and taxes for 3 nights, hit with a further, $50 a day extra resort fee and $35 a day car parking and found it difficult to get that daily free drink you were promised, so regularities in the bill and zero touchpoints of anyone from management or customer service reaching out, you leave feeling underwhelmed and frustrated. This isn’t what hospitality businesses should be like. You can’t help thinking, next time I’ll stay somewhere else. I won’t be staying at any Noble properties ever again if I can help it! I can take my hard earned cash to somewhere more appreciative. I’m sure there are other properties willing and capable of ensuring you enjoy spending time in Key West with warmth and affection but I’d not check in to the Marquesa unless you want to feel totally underwhelmed and ripped off. I doubt I’ll ever get the owed money for my free drink back after this review but that’s not the point. They just don’t care, so why should you? Do yourselves a favour and stay somewhere else!
- aig74 (6/5): Eh. Maybe don't book room 50? - The location is great if you want to be in the middle of it all without being in the middle of it all. It's on a quiet street a block away from Duval Street. It's has a charming exterior with an interior courtyard, with rooms overlooking the pool. The hotel seems to have older and newer buildings. We did not get to experience the newer rooms but our room (50) seemed to be in the older part of the hotel. It was clean but ready for an upgrade. The curtains had holes, some windows had old metal blinds, the bathroom was showing signs of wear, and the floors were creaky. Our room was quite noisy as it was located in a high-traffic area where metal gates kept getting slammed shut. It also shared a wall with an office where it sounded like someone was printing documents at all hours of the day (and night!). We didn't get to experience much of the service but the complimentary coffee by the pool (from 7-11a) kept running out and not getting refilled. Thankfully, there was a Nespresso machine in the room. Overall, it's not a great value. I cannot recommend this hotel (at least not room 50) and will not be staying here again.
- Travelingmichellem (10/5): The Marquesa Hotel is the best in Key West - Our stay at Marquesa Hotel was exceptional. Beautiful, well-kept hotel with clean, well-appointed rooms which include individual patios. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There are two pools surrounded by lush foliage. The Marquesa is a gem, and in my opinion, the best hotel in Key West. We will stay there again.
- stephaniebM2289KJ (10/5): Beautiful hidden gem - Perfect location, absolutely picturesque inside and out, and the grounds are so quiet. No noisy pool bars or music. Just relaxation. The room was probably the cleanest guest room I’ve ever stayed in.
- E8889GUrobertb (6/5): January Stay in Key West - Nice hotel, but there is a large variance in the size and comfort of the rooms. We were lucky to get an upgrade, but our friends from out of state did not, and were directly above the lobby in the main building. They were not told about the planned construction in the lobby that started before 8 and continued until after 5. The hotel seems to be a bit understaffed, and the price including resort fee seems high compared to other properties in the neighborhood. This hotel is on a very busy corner, with lots of traffic and trash truck noise, don't expect to sleep in unless you have noise cancelling headphones!
- C2770DXthomasp (4/5): Never going back to the Marquesa. - The Hotel is beautiful and in a great location. However, they canceled our room 24 hours in advance of our check-in. They tried to blame us and then Mile 0 Fest before they said they messed up and overbooked. We will never stay here again.
- Maxi3601 (4/5): Not as expected - I'll start by saying that we really wanted to enjoy our stay at this place. The location is ideal, as we realized we're in the Keys. Hotels here are expensive and often not in the best condition, so I had realistic expectations. That said, here is our experience: the reception was friendly and check-in was smooth. We requested and paid for a suite in the main building by the pool. Upon arrival, we received a strange upper suite that required going up a narrow staircase to the right, which was quite dangerous after a long day exploring Key West. The room itself had a damp smell; we also found a roach on the couch. The TV in our room didn't work initially, and a technician came out that night to fix it. Since we couldn't sleep without watching TV, he spent over an hour troubleshooting and ultimately switched the boxes between the room TV and the living room TV. When we checked the room TV, we noticed an inch of dust on the glass, indicating it hadn't been cleaned recently. On the positive side, the hotel features pretty grounds, overall friendly staff, and a great location. The on-site restaurant served delicious food. I'm not sure if I'll return to this place, but that's my honest input.
- Letsgotraveling2014 (10/5): A beautiful hotel in every way. - My partner and I stay at the Marquesa every January when we attend the Key West Literary Seminar. It’s a wonderful facility with lovely big rooms, beautifully landscaped grounds, and excellent staff. We always look forward to our visit here.
- tobykoy (8/5): Treat yourself to the Marquesa experience - Great place for family or close friends to hang out during a getaway to the Keys. Two wonderful pools, one heated for those nice evening dips after sunset. If there are any handicap issues in your travel party, please be sure to mention that when making reservations as some rooms require going up and down some long stairs. Accommodations can be pricey so if you can time your travel for when the rates are lower it is well worth the experience. While staying at Marquesa don't miss the opportunity to dine at their Michelin Star restaurant, Cafe Marquesa, the service is spot on and your taste buds will than you.
- GloriaS2013 (2/5): hidden fees, lots of steps, and noisy traffic - nice place but total scam on charges!! with about 6 extra fees, my charges were 50% more! and several things were double billed, and no one will reply...do not stay here unless you like to throw your $ away! and it's a long walk to Mallory Square; and parking your car for an extra $40 a day in their 'lot' is two blocks away.
- NorthStar722947 (2/5): STAY AWAY! - It makes me sad to write a bad review for this hotel, but I am left with no other choice. We stayed over Thanksgiving and actually enjoyed the hotel a lot. Things went bad after check out. The hotel charged my credit card a second time after we checked out without authorization and we have been over charged $3200. In the past three weeks I have called six times and spoken to multiple people including the manager and the controller. Three weeks ago Don, who was the manager and appears to have left, told me they would refund the money and they did not. Last week I was able to connect with the controller, and again he told me that I had been over charged and he would look into it and get it refunded. I have followed up with a call and an email to the controller and still have heard nothing. We have tried repeatedly to work this out with the hotel instead of going a different route but the follow through is terrible. It seems that management is having major issues so I would highly recommend that you avoid the hotel until they get things figured out.
- deborahbR4975NB (10/5): Perfect Relaxing Upscale Resort in Key West - We can't say enough good things about our stay at the Marquesa. The location is perfect - very close walk to everything you want to see, but still very quiet and hidden away for a good nights rest. Our room faced the courtyard and pool (Bahamas suite #61) where you can't hear the noise from surrounding areas. The roosters are fun to see, but they can wake you up early in the morning depending on where you stay. We didn't hear them at the Marquesa. The bed was extremely comfortable and the large tub was perfect for a soak at the end of the day. We loved popping in to the lobby in the afternoon for the delicious key lime cookies they offered. The Marquesa's restaurant is one of the best on the island. Delicious upscale meal with excellent service. We will be back!
- worldtraveler762 (6/5): Totally Average. Not Lux. - A bit peculiar. Staff wandering on and off property wearing a leather skeleton jacket made us wonder what was happening, who it was, and if we could be in danger. Zero response to our request for recommendations with my wife’s birthday. Totally average stay. Basically zero amenities but cool espresso pods in room. Not worth the high price at all. Not a luxury resort in any way. I’ve traveled the world many times over. This was not luxury. It’s a small midtown villa. 3 stars max.
- hcb10960 (10/5): Wonderful experience! - Our stay at Marquesa was nothing short of wonderful. The location was ideal, we could walk everywhere in Key West. We had a balcony room overlooking the pool. Beautifully appointed, super clean, plus turn down service! The staff were helpful when needed and were happy to give us some insider info. We also did the Rise and Shine package. Breakfast each morning at Café Marquesa. Totally worth it. We will stay again and recommend highly.
- TraceyThomas47 (10/5): Pre Thanksgiving Stay - Lovely property in olde town. Location is key. Staff was pleasant. Room was great !! We had a wonderful time and will return.
- michaelmG1078PU (10/5): Paradise - We would highly recommend The Marquesa Hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. They gave us recommendations for dinner and sunset cruises. Our room was lovely. Relaxing tropical pool area. Location was quiet and ideal. As described truly an oasis.
- ellenkU9956CV (10/5): The most beautiful hotel in Key West! - We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Marquesa! We recommended it to our guests for our daughter’s wedding and everyone was so happy! Everyone loved the hotel, the beautiful accommodations, the staff, and absolutely everything about this beautiful hotel and property. We could not have been happier!! It is so intimate, beautiful, clean, and so special.
- scottwK6617PM (10/5): Loved the Marquesa Hotel! - We loved this hotel! We were so pleased with our room, the pools, the location, the staff and the overall quiet atmosphere. The housekeeping staff were very sweet and friendly and the front desk/guest services staff were as well. Our junior suite was beautifully furnished, and the bed was very comfortable (so much so I asked for the brand). We appreciated that the sitting area could be closed off from the bedroom and the porch was perfect for enjoying morning coffee provided by the hotel. They offer books in the lobby you can check out in case you are looking for something to read. We will definitely stay here again on any future trips to Key West.
- S3197NLdanielleg (10/5): Perfection in Paradise! - The property is a beautiful oasis with gorgeous plants and flowers throughout. The junior suites have updated bathrooms, a large balcony with ceiling fan, and 2 sitting areas. The Nespresso machine was a pleasant surprise. There is not a bar onsite, so you may want to plan ahead. There were other guests at the pool who set up their own bar. Afternoon Key Lime cookies are a must try! Free in the lobby. Wonderful staff and walkable location just added to the greatness of our trip. Definitely coming back!
- blachatch (10/5): Great as always - This was our 8th stay at the Marquesa and is the best place to stay on the island hands down. For the price point some things need to be fine tuned , but we will return in the future.
- mwmarva (10/5): Hidden slice of paradise - A hidden slice of paradise a few blocks from Duval but a world away! Lovely surroundings, comfortable well appointed rooms and a staff that is eager to help.
- briansV8419PW (10/5): A wonderful place to stay - a great vacation because of the Marquesa! - The location was perfect - a short walk to everything from the beach, Hemingway's house, bars, restaurants, shopping, the Truman White House, the park in the Truman annex - a great place. Lots of Key West can be noisy and full of exuberant people there to have a great time - but when you went into the Marquesa, it was serene. You could enjoy the loud outside the hotel, then return and enjoy the quiet. The pools - there are two next to each other - were perfect. For the afternoon, there was ice water and key lime cookies if you wanted. If you just wanted a quiet day by the pool - it was perfect. The rooms were impeccably neat and clean. Every single staff member we ran into was helpful and friendly. You could tell they were not only good at their jobs, but enjoyed them as well. A very positive atmosphere.
- Jp7773 (10/5): Perfect place to stay for a quick stop in Key West - Had a wonderful time at the Marquesa. The staff was excellent, room was clean and well appointed, and location is perfect for those wanting to just park the car and walk to the “must-see” places in Key West.

- sp670 (10/5): Excellent Stay in Key West - Perfect place to stay in Key West. Location, food, and amenities are among things which make it a place to stay in Key West and our reason for repeat stays at this hotel. The hotel staff ensures you have a great stay. The hotel has several nice touches in the lobby to include coffee in the morning to key lime cookies and lemonade in the afternoon. We would like to thank Don and his staff Keith, Hannah, Mark, and Dominique along with housekeeping(Alex?) for another nice stay.
- Joseph (10/5): - We really enjoyed The Marquesa. It’s a great location, the room was beautiful and clean. Parking is somewhat of an issue but it worked out fine. We will highly recommend it to our friends that come to Key West. Thank you for making our weekend very special.
- Justin (10/5): - 🇨🇺
- Justin (10/5): - 👍
- Dana (10/5): - The property was immaculate. We enjoyed the evening turn down service. We especially enjoyed the pool, and the landscaping made it feel like a lush and tranquil escape. We will stay at this location again.
- Minika (10/5): Perfect Stay! - What a charming hotel! Loved everything about our stay - the room, the courtyard, the pools and the staff were wonderful. Centrally located so that we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We will absolutely stay here on our next trip to Key West!
- MzLadybug (10/5): Wonderful hotel! - Lovely well appointed and clean hotel with great staff. Restaurant a bit expensive, but convenient for breakfast. Close to Duval. Would definitely go here again!
- Stephanie (10/5): - The rooms are comfortable and quiet. The mattress is extremely comfortable and the AC worked great.
- joshI349IU (10/5): Refreshing Oasis - our second stay - The Marquesa is one of the best hotels in the US, hands down. The staff is great, the accomodations are excellent and spacious, the pool is soothing, the restaurant is fantastic and the location is a tiny walk from anything you need. You will want to move in and you'll be refreshed!
- Jenice (10/5): - Very convenient location and super helpful staff. Felt very safe in this area. Rooms were very clean and had all the amenities we were hoping for.
- Tim (10/5): - Very nice place
- 334juliej334 (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Key West - We had the most wonderful time at this lovely hidden gem of a hotel. Perfect walking distance to everything. No street noise. The pools and grounds are beautiful!
- Samantha (10/5): - Beautiful, clean property! Would definitely stay there again!
- Victoria (10/5): Much needed couples get away. - Beautiful hotel - excellent amenities. Coffee, hot tea in the morning - water all day. Very convenient to all attractions. Would definitely stay again.
- Sheryl (8/5): Pleasant but small - The location is very good if you want to spend time on Duval St. There are several nice restaurants nearby. Our cottage was very nice but small. The only sitting area was outside.
- FarAway44328713173 (4/5): average place with high cost - much better places for the money look around. no bicycles, no bathroom at the pools, a bunch of guys were next to us partying. house keeping took a glass we bought from Hemmingway distillery and they dod not find it or compensate it or go get another one.
- Robert (10/5): - Property is nicely maintained staff is extremely attentive and polite
- Pyrlover (10/5): Great Property and Stay - Fabulous stay! The property is gorgeous! All amenities are fabulous. Great mattresses, linens, twice a day service, pool towels, toiletries, chilled water all day by the pool, afternoon freshly baked key lime cookies and lemonade. Love it is an adult only property! Responsive and knowledgeable staff. All are very kind and greet you when you see them. A perfect stay! Can't wait to come back!! I wish some of the other guests were as respectful of the property and other guests staying here - people above us had their own sunset celebration every day blasting music on the balcony and hanging their wet clothes over the edge. Another idiot came back from snorkeling and threw all his scuba gear in the pool to wash it off. Its a quiet pool with adults sitting around reading. Not partying. I guess they are going to have to make room on the pool sign under Don't Drink the Pool Water, and include Don't Wash you snorkeling gear off in the pool! Perhaps there is a competency test they can give before allowing people to check in. Some people are just unreal.
- mwascom (4/5): Very Disappointing - Arrival check-in experience was horrible. Pre-arrival e-mail questionnaire received the day prior requesting arrival time, but room still wasn’t ready until hours later, well after posted check-in time. Need more robust housekeeping to turn over rooms in more timely manner. Other guests had similar experience.
- William (10/5): - The room was excellent! The court yard with 2 pools was excellent. Property is well maintained. Less than two minute walk to Duval St. We will be back!
- Michael (10/5): - Just returned from a fantastic experience for the six of us staying at the Marquesa Hotel for five nights. My wife and I are 80 and over the decades we've stayed at a lot of hotels. The Marquesa is among the Top 5. The beds are super comfortable -- the rooms are quiet and blessedly cool and comfortable with easy to use controls. The interior court yard with two swimming pools and fountains has extraordinary landscaping greenery, including a wall of orchids. The orchids are so perfect I first thought they were fake. But they are as real as rain. Most important -- the staff was the best you can ask for -- always available to help with a smile. Last, the location is ideal. We didn't need a car the entire time -- only used Uber to get from and back to the airport. I wish all of the hotels we've stayed at were half as nice as this one. Mike and Sandra
- Ernesto (10/5): Trip with friends - Excellent as always, we have stayed here in the past. The restaurant was also excellent
- Joanna (10/5): - First time here. Recommended by a friend. We love it! Staff
- Frances G (10/5): - Beautiful place so really enjoyed it
- Jackeline (10/5): - Best stay in the Keys !!
- lindsaycX8902PY (10/5): Lovely stay! - Great hotel! Lovely location, close to Duval Street. Comfortable rooms and lovely pools to relax by, with pretty tropical planting. Complimentary drinks by the pool and tea/coffee in mornings. Also, best breakfast on the island! Would stay again.
- veese (10/5): Historical with Modern touches. - A wonderful property just a couple of blocks off of Duval St. The rooms are well appointed and there are several pools across the property. Parking is available for a daily rate. The Marquesa restaurant is excellent for breakfast and dinner. Fausto's is a block away for any grocery needs. You're a 10 minute walk to Mallory Square.
- Abbie (10/5): Loved it! - Lovely rooms. Very well maintained
- Stephen (10/5): - Excellent property conveniently located near Duval.
- U1807GIpatriciaf (10/5): Charming Hotel - My recent stay at The Marquesa Hotel in Key West was nothing short of exceptional, offering a perfect blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and a serene oasis amidst the vibrant energy of Old Town. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its understated elegance and the genuine warmth of the staff. The hotel's location is truly ideal.
- Mark (10/5): Enjoy the Elegant Charm of The Marquesa Hotel - Immediately after we first entered the Marquesa Hotel, my fiancé and I started laughing at our sheer joy of the elegance, artistry, and superb joy of the Marquesa Hotel. The paintings, the furnishings, the lovely detail of the lobby was as welcoming as the staff, who immediately offered us a sangria for our arrival. We were led to a simply beautiful room which was also appointed with period furniture and great decor and an extremely comfortable pillow top queen bed. The inner courtyard was an enchanted getaway with two gorgeous pools and great plantings. The Marquesa is well-known in Key West for it's simle elegance. We shall return!
- Tracy (10/5): - Beautiful property walking distance to Duval street . The hotel was quiet and quaint. Dinner at the Cafe was amazing. Sophie the bartender was delightful to talk with.
- Kristen (10/5): Couples getaway - This hotel is quiet but centrally located. Room was beautiful, bathtub was awesome, amenities were great. It’s within walking distance to everything. If your looking for quiet and can stay in your room or relax in the pool surrounded by pretty landscaping.
- CottonDad (8/5): In the middle of everything! - The Marquesa is a beautiful hotel. It is one block off Duval street and in the middle of everything. Two blocks from the port, and less than a mile from the southern most point, it was a GREAT location. The rooms are lovely. Only gave it four stars because our first night we were in a room with malfunctioning A/C. When the room was 78 we called the front desk. They asked us to wait to see if it would cool down. It didn’t, so we changed rooms at 11pm when the temp reached 80 in the room. Despite being within a block of everything the hotel was quiet and felt like an Oasis. Aside from that the staff was helpful and we would stay there again.
- Pamela (10/5): - Staff
- flybydrw (10/5): Marquesa Experience - Very well done. Everything looks like new, very well maintained. Everyone was very courteous, polite and friendly. Enjoyed all three pools, morning coffee by the pool, and lounge towels supplied.
- Tour694562 (10/5): Marquesa review-June 2025 - The staff was welcoming and helpful, the hotel grounds were beautiful, the 3rd floor guesthouse room was small but comfortable, and the daily key lime cookies were amazing.
- pattimayerich (10/5): Love love The Marquesa - We are repeat guests and will continue to be. This place is simply the best in the keys! From check in to check there is no better. If you appreciate attention to detail this is your place. The comfy beds & pillows are the best and everything is always so clean! Every person that works there is friendly and goes out of their way to make your stay amazing.
- Fred (8/5): - The setting and location is ideal. The annex has some issues with air conditioning. Two units we were in had undersized air conditioners. The staff is amazing and we enjoyed our stay.
- sherelynanderson (10/5): The Best in Key West - This is an outstanding place to stay. From the moment I walked in Hannah was gracious with an infectious warming smile. Demetrius is also a compliment to the hotel as he provides welcoming genuine hospitality and exemplary assistance whenever needed. Marc, Aldony and Keeley are courteous, attentive and were always eager to make my stay free from troubles. My suite was immaculate and I was treated like a Queen for eight glorious days. Housekeeping staff was spot on, very kind, and not intrusive when I didn't want to be disturbed. Everyone and everything was just what I needed, a great getaway!
- H845SNgaryk (8/5): Highly recommended - but some concerns - A premium property with an excellent staff, but the experience was marred by uncaring management. Overall, however, I would recommend this property as it's beautifully maintained and the staff provides excellent service. That said, there were some issues that were poorly addressed or that reflected thoughtless planning. This hotel ought to receive a 5/5 rating but, sadly, falls short in a few areas that take it out of the top rankings.
- 112spencerd (10/5): Amazing experience! - Luxury Resort Stay – A Truly Elegant Experience From the moment we arrived at the resort, it was clear we were in for something special. The entire property was elegant, immaculately maintained, and radiated a quiet luxury that immediately put us at ease. Every detail, from the manicured gardens to the polished interiors, was thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed. The staff was truly outstanding. Every interaction—from check-in to dining to housekeeping—was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. It was clear that the team took pride in their work and went out of their way to ensure guests felt welcomed and valued. Our room was spacious, beautifully furnished, and offered every comfort imaginable. The bed was plush, the bathroom pristine, and the view absolutely breathtaking. Dining at the resort was a highlight in itself, with exquisite meals, attentive service, and a serene atmosphere that elevated the entire experience. In short, this stay exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a high-end escape with impeccable service and refined surroundings, this resort delivers in every way. We can’t wait to return. Don’t miss the lime cookies in the lobby every afternoon, they are the best!
- miamians1 (10/5): Amazing stay - Great location. Beautiful oasis within walking distance of everything. The suites are beautiful, clean and spacious. Highly recommend upgrading to a suite. The Marquesa Restaurant is spectacular- great food, wine and service. Would definitely stay here again.
- Kirk (10/5): - Convenietly located. Restaurants right around the corner. Excelent staff! Room was cozy. About 1/2 mile from Mallory Square and a block from Duval St. Only issue was a gate near our room that would bang as people went through in the morning but my room was on the same wall as the gate. Would definitely stay here again if i was going to Key West.
- Robin (10/5): - This was by far the best place we have stayed in Key West!!!
- Kenneth (10/5): - An absolutely beautiful hotel! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool area is very tropical and relaxing. The restaurant has great food and great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and we would definitely stay here again!
- Janet (10/5): - Our stay at the Marquesa was excellent, as always.
- hughandshirleyd (10/5): Beautiful accomendations and great location! - We loved our stay at the beautiful Marquesa. The location is excellent and within walking distance to most attractions. In addition, the room and facilities and very comfortable and quaint with modern ammenities. The staff is friendly and ready to serve in any way to make your stay enjoyable. The restaurant offers a wide variety of menu items and the food is excellent.
- LNJO (10/5): An excellent stay!!! - Excellent location, clean, lovely chic decor, peaceful pool area, delicious full breakfast and generous dinner credit included with the room. Our poolside suite was large and very clean, beautiful bedding. A great value and a wonderful stay.
- 515stefanis (10/5): Would stay again in a heartbeat - The resort was our favorite part about Key West!! Gorgeous rooms, even more beautiful plants and common spaces. Only negative - I thought the restaurant was not worth the prices for dinner, but breakfast was amazing! Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating.
- George (10/5): - Beautiful landscaping and pool areas. Excellent housekeeping services. Coffee and fruited water readily available. Easy access to restaurants on Duval, yet in a quiet neighborhood one block away. Aldone was very helpful. Front and rear porches gave a pleasant relaxed atmosphere. No full length mirror to prepare for wedding events. So we bought one at Ace Hardware and left it in the room.
