Very good

Honestly, this is one of the most disappointing places i have stayed in years. Starting with the checkin. We had to drive to another location to get the keys and check in. (The person at check in was very kind, by the way). The unit smelled moldy from the time we walked in, especially the bedroom. The fitted sheets on the bed had no elasticity left so they would not stay “fitted”. This revealed the mattress which was full of disgusting stains. The floors were filthy, we had black on the bottoms of our feet after only a few minutes of walking inside. The furniture was very dirty and dated. There were no kitchen towels, there was a 1/4 of a roll of paper towels. There was mold in the shower. The outside of all of the windows in the rear of the unit were so full of dirt and cobwebs. They look like they havent been cleaned in years. There were very few basic kitchen supplies: no oven, only 3 small plates provided. The walls were thin, lots of noise from all around our unit. There was a LOT of loud in and out car traffic at the dance studio in the same parking lot. The location is great for its proximation to downtown but I definitely would not stay here again. Its sad because with a bit of thoughfulness and attention, this could be an acceptable accommodation.

Hot room
Room was extremely hot and humid. The air conditioner did not keep up. I left a day early because the room was so hot and uncomfortable.
First time visiting Key West. Colors on White was centrally located for me without realizing when i booked my stay. Im going to have to come back and stay longer than a few days.
Clean comfortable room in an authentic Key West atmosphere.
Property was neat and clean. Room was great. Parking was tight and maintenance kept proping open the pool door which came within less than inch from car door so i couldn't get my door open. They did this while i was trying to get my things out and up to the room. We went back and forth 2x. They could see we were getting things out. I was already frazzled from having to drive down Duval at prime time to check in. We sought out this property because it had parking included so we wouldnt have to drive while there. Duval is not the easiest road to park and run in someplace or have to back out onto. Otherwise staff was friendly and reachable and the room was excellent. And within walking distance to everything.

Thos property was much older. The office was far away. There was a couple yelling one night. A few bugs.
This is far off the beaten track, which was good because I liked the quiet and I don’t mind long walks. If you need to be near the action, I wouldn’t choose this spot.
The women at the check-in office were extremely friendly and accommodating
initially, upon arrival, there was no office at the address indicated. I had not received any indication by email and I find that it shows transparency that their office is at a different address. on hotel.com it is indicated that there was 24/7 surveillance but in fact there is no one at the address of the color at 818 white. they are at the other address. (see photos) in addition, in my room, it remains basic. broken frame and hook, rusty shower pole, very hooked balcony. the bed is comfortable but the mattress cover is detached quickly and I was alone. so comfortable and peaceful but lacks transparency and information
I would not recommend this hotel at all. The room we were given was run-down and in terrible condition. To make matters worse, we were assigned a room with just one bed for my husband, my 13-year-old child, and myself. When we called the front desk to complain, the woman was incredibly rude. She actually told us to "do the math" and assumed we could all sleep in a single bed. When I explained that was not an option, she finally offered to bring an inflatable mattress—only if we paid an extra fee. When it arrived, the air mattress was broken and kept losing air, forcing us to refill it multiple times during the night.
The room itself was outdated and in desperate need of renovation. The bed was terribly uncomfortable, and the pillows felt like rocks. I’ve never had such a terrible night’s sleep. The staff’s unhelpful attitude and the poor condition of the room made for an incredibly frustrating experience. I will definitely not be returning to this hotel and would not recommend it to anyone.

Excellent location, and close enough to the free Duval Loop bus for getting around town. Our 1 bd suite needs some maintenance work, though. Poor water pressure in bathroom sink due to corroded faucet [kit. sink and tub ok]. Swivel chairs in seating area have disgustingly dirty upholstery. Since it is rated for 4, it would have been nice to have a table that would seat that many. So all in all, overpriced for the experience.
Billed as "spacious"...the shelf in bathroom was broken, no place to put any toiletries, the trundle bed might be good for children under 8 years old but not for anyone older, only one side table in bedroom..overall, drab, dingy and looked old
