We spent 8 days and enjoyed the peace and quiet here. We felt like we had privacy. The Inn is beautiful and rooms spacious. The service is incredible and our host Mark made sure we had everything. Mark can also book all your excursions. The beach is only a 5 minute walk. We are already planning our next trip to Key West in May 2024 and definitely coming back to Suite Dreams Inn. Thumbs all the way up!

The perfect place to stay if you are looking for a safe, quiet retreat close to popular Key West attractions (without the noise and crowds). I visited in January so the temperature was ideal for long walks. The Old Towne suite had a comfortable bed and everything I needed to make morning coffee and store snacks or leftovers. There isn't always someone on site, but I found the owners to be very responsive to requests sent via text or telephone. I would stay here again!

What a wonderful gem in Key West! We stayed with my parents and child in the Hemingway Suite. Mark was very helpful in securing our reservation for visiting Dry Tortugas National Park and gave great recommendations for dining in the area. The Inn is a comfortable walking distance to the southernmost point bouy. Rooms are clean, pool was warm even when the weather was a bit cool/rainy for typical Key West in February. We had large umbrellas to use for one stormy night and delicious snacks provided that we took with us to the National Park. I will definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future!

We stayed Saturday November 23 - 27, the weekend and week leading up to Thanksgiving. The room size was good. Had all the essentials needed for a stay, king size bed, bathroom, closet, small fridge, microwave and coffee pot, along with some essential kitchen items like silverware and dishes as well. The hotel is quaint and quiet, which is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to stay away from the crazy and business of Duvall street. There's parking right outside of the hotel, which is a huge plus for Key West! The inside of the gated hotel garden area is filled with plants, trees, and a small soaking pool which makes it feel very tropical. A cute cat resides there too. It's located in a residential area and is very close to the Southernmost Point, Higgs Beach, and the White Street Pier, where we did a lot of fishing. The hotel is older and a little outdated, but has a lot of history to it. The owner Mark was extremely nice and welcoming and provides a lot of good information about Key West, attractions to visit, restaurants and good happy hour places.

Suite Dreams was great. Mark was easy to work with and helped us book the best activities in Key West. The location is on a quiet, cozy street still only minutes from downtown. Highly recommend renting the bikes for a very low cost. If we're ever back in Key West we will almost certainly choose Suite Dreams again.

We stayed Jun. 12-14 with our 8 year old son in the Old Town Suite. It was the perfect size for the three of us. The hotel is quaint and quiet. We loved the cocktail pool! The hotel is within walking distance to the Southernmost Point marker. It's also in a quiet part of town. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Suite Dreams Inn is the place you want to be if you’re visiting Key West! The Inn is tucked in a quiet neighborhood minutes away from all that Key West has to offer. The Inn is within walking distance of two beautiful beaches. The rooms are very clean, comfortable, and have everything you would need in a landing space in Key West. The staff is incredibly friendly and responsive. On the grounds, you have access to grills, patio furniture, hammocks, lounge chairs, and a small, but deep pool that is perfect for cooling off in the Florida heat. Without hesitation, I will be staying here the next time I come to Key West!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Mark and Gail were wonderful hosts and made sure that everything went smoothly for our stay. The rooms we stayed in were beautiful and the property was so pretty. We even had a private pool to use! The rooms were stocked with snacks and other necessities. On our next trip to Key West we will definitely call to stay again!
