Perfect spot with a great location
We had a wonderful stay. We interrupted Candis having lunch and she let us check in early and gave us an upgrade. Her lunch recommendations were great. There was a gentleman who worked the next few days and he was also very friendly and helpful with recommendations for activities to do during the day. We had a great stay.

Nightmare at Grand Guest
The place appeared very nice but had bed bugs. Yes bed bugs. We saw small brown bugs crawling on the sheets after we got into bed. After close examination we saw them on the boxspring and curtains. The bed was loaded no way the cleaning staff didnt see the bugs. Phoned the night clerk and was told they were out of rooms. When asked if they would find us a room at 2am they said no. Our stay was ruined we packed our travel bags in plastic garbage bags so we could later scan for bugs and to keep strays from investing our car. Instead of immediately refunding our fees hotels.com informed us that it was up to the Grand Guest to release the funds. Luckily they did a day later. Once packed we left Key West for the mainland.

Dont stay of your looking for clean and quiet
Horrible would not recommend very noisey and dirty, dust everywhere and Black mold in the bathroom cause me to have an asthma attack, im quite fairly shocked at the state of the room, however friendly the staff was the room was not up to par and made me sick and had allergies and a asthma attack the entire trip.breakfast was ok and did the job but also don’t expect a good night sleep quiet hours were not observed and when brought to the attention of the staff nothing was done. Looked forward to going home, its a shame it could be a nice place to stay.
