What guests think

The Cabana Inn Key West - Adult Exclusive earns frequent praise for its central, walkable location just off Duval Street, welcoming staff, and a relaxing courtyard with pool and hot tub, plus simple breakfast, 24/7 coffee, and a popular wine hour.

However, reviews repeatedly note limited paid parking and an added amenity/resort fee, and there is no elevator with some steep, narrow stairs to upper rooms. Room quality varies—from spacious, comfortable suites to small attic rooms with low ceilings—with recurring mentions of loud AC, low shower water pressure, thin walls, and dated elements; cleanliness is generally good but some report bathroom mold or pests and housekeeping every other day. Expect early-morning rooster noise and occasional nightlife sound depending on room location. Overall, it suits adults seeking a charming, central base who can accept older-inn quirks and extra fees.

Close to Duvall Street, that's a great feature! very limited parking onsite, the room we were in had a broken nightstand table, bathroom is small. Overall ok , but the 44$ they charged for resort fee isn't worth what we got is what I felt.

Easy access to Duval and centrally located. Very limited onsite parking and other options can be expensive. Pool, hot tub and courtyard are very inviting. Some rooms can be subject to street noise. There is an $89 amenity fee, which was a surprise. Overall, I liked it very much and would stay there again.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Cabana Inn. The property was clean and located on a quiet street yet close to the action and entertainment. Very easy to walk anywhere. The property had a beautiful pool and hot tub that was open 24/7. They had pool towels, sunscreen, aloe and lotion available for use anytime. Happy hour was nice. They offered a variety of wine, cheese, crackers and mixed nuts. Coffee, tea and hot water was available 24/7. Breakfast was small but just enough. The staff were great. The room was good. Not anything exotic or high end but clean and comfortable. They offer free parking in there limited parking spaces but do not rely on that. There is a gravel pay to park lot directly next to the property. It was safe and convenient. It was $37. I would absolutely recommend this place for a short stay in Key West.

It's right off of Duval and in a great location. We had the suite and it had tons of space. The check-in was quick and easy and the grounds are all well maintained, clean and nice. The pool was nice. It was a little cool at night so we really enjoyed the hot tub and appreciated being able to use it any time (no restricted hours). You do have to climb steps to get to the upper floors. This did not bother me. It's a boutique hotel, not a Ritz Carlton, and I liked that. There was a larger mini-fridge, microwave and kitchenette area, a small table and chairs, couch and king size bed. Lots of space. Being adults only was also great. It's a little older but if you're looking for a nice comfortable room close to the action on Duval at a decent price this is a great find.

Centrally located right off Duval St in tourist area, walkable to most attractions. Very good breakfast (fresh fruit, juices, baked goods, cereal, hard boiled eggs, and 24hr Starbucks machine) and happy hour (red and white wine, cheese crackers and nuts). Friendly helpful staff, clean rooms. But, low water pressure in showers. Our room had a temperamental toilet that needed repeated flushing, and also plugged. (Each room has its own toilet plunger!) Alleyway to guest house is dirty. Would not stay at this location again.

The only major flaw is the hotel room floors were filthy!!! I walked from the shower to the bed and my feet were black at the bottom. Idk if any when they service these rooms but this is supee gross

Two night stay in a convenient location. The first room was in very poor condition. The floor was rotten, holes in the ceiling, and mold in the window. They thankfully put us in the room above it and it was in better condition. There are only a couple of parking spots that you pay for if you are lucky. They also have an additional resort fee that is for the cheese and wine they leave out in the lobby.

Older property and slightly run down guest rooms, but has all the amenities needed. Nice pool area and small breakfast offering are perfect for starting off the day or cooling off after exploring the island. The suite we were in had lights outside windows, which did not allow the room to get dark at night. The roosters in the area also were early risers, so we didn’t get a great night sleep. Super Convenient location - The hotel is 1 block off of Duval street in the heart of all the action. We were easily able to walk to all of the sights - Hemingway House, Southernmost Bouy, marina for cruises.

When checking in, was given room 132. This room is on the third floor with no elevator. It’s 3 1/2 flights of steps. Room was small with a king bed. I hit my head on the ceiling when getting into bed. Not the room to have if you have bad knees!! We did complain and they did move us to a ground floor room. All in all, was a pleasant experience after the move.

Location is great! Just off Duval street! Steps to main restaurants and shopping. This is a small, old hotel. More like a collection of houses. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Main house, were we stayed on the third floor room was very small, very small bathroom and decor was minimal. No real drawing curtains, more like sheets covering windows. Very run down. TV was not working either. Had signal but picture screen was damaged. Room was more like a motel so you can set expectations. Last time we stayed on second floor room and it was a little bigger and much better kept. So I would recommend asking where your room will be! It did have a nice view of courtyard and back stairs to get to it. I would say worth the money for location, staff is nice and helpful and they have free breakfast and happy hour every day.

Nice place for a couple days stay. Convenient location to Duvall street. Staff very friendly and helpful. We didn't use the pool, but it was full of leaves all the time. Only real negative thing is the room we stayed in was at the very top of the third floor, stairs very narrow and when you open the door you hit the bed. The door doesn't open all the way, only one person can get in, throw your bags on the bed, then the next can come in, if your not too tall and hit your head on the ceiling. And I'm only 5'4". There is a door and the top of the stairs that should be used to get to that room, but it was locked and taped off. Other than that it was a nice room.

Patrick was welcoming and attentive, and the rooms spacious and comfortable, and although only a few minutes walk to Duvall, was nice and quiet. Excellent breakfast, coffee available at all hours, free happy hour with wine and snacks, a waterfall pool, hot tub, and cabana area. Absolutely perfect all around!

These people are thieves they wouldn’t refund or reschedule our reservation they kept 1200 of our hard earned money because our flight was canceled due to weather and then we tried getting into another flight and we couldn’t get in that one either we tried the next day and couldn’t either. Now this Manager Mike is not wanting to give us a refund or reschedule our stay. We didn’t have a vacation and now we lost $1200 because they want to be greedy. Don’t stay at this hotel!!!

WAY better than expected! PROS: -Location!! Can't beat it! right in the middle of Duvall street. you can access any restaurant, bar, excursion by foot -Amenities! Pool was calm and relaxing on a super hot day. We also hung by the cabanas in the morning to catch some early sun. HAPPY HOUR: FREE snacks and wine between 5-7pm. -KINDNESS! Patrick was super nice helping us check in, and all the staff were very nice as well. CONS: -Amenity fee. I already knew this because I read the fine print (so I wasn't upset) but if you didn't read the fine print I can see some getting upset that there's additional costs when checking in. -Roosters HAHA! If you don't know key west well you'll be surprised that there are roosters crowing at all hours of the day and night. This doesn't have to do with the hotel, but just prepare yourself :-)
