COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT KEY WEST WATERFRONT, Key West

The property sits on a busy main road, which provides easy access by car but also means street noise can be audible, particularly in roadside rooms. Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park is 5 km away. A shopping plaza with a Publix supermarket, TJMaxx, and several casual restaurants is within a short walk or an under 5-minute drive. Uber or Lyft rides to the Duval Street area cost roughly $12-$25 and take approximately 5-10 minutes. Free parking on site makes the hotel practical for those arriving by car, and the location is considered convenient for access to both the main thoroughfare and nearby amenities.

Available room types range from standard double and quadruple rooms to family suites with up to 4 beds. The Double Queen Suite includes a living area with a pull-out sofa and sleeps up to 6. The Double Queen Connector features two bedrooms with a privacy door, sleeping up to 8 with two bathrooms. A Family Suite with 4 queen beds is also available. Many rooms are in two-story buildings; only one building has an elevator, so rooms in other sections require stairs. Some rooms have balconies or patios (assignment is based on availability), and standard King rooms may offer water views. Room lighting has been noted as dim in some units. All rooms include a mini-fridge, microwave, in-room safe, hairdryer, and free toiletries.

Breakfast at The Bistro is a la carte, costing roughly $10-$15 per person unless a breakfast package rate was booked. The Tiki Bar serves American-style lunch and cocktails poolside, and also offers a snack menu. A welcome drink is offered at check-in. A coffee house on site (Starbucks) provides additional coffee options. For other meals, several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including Pizza Hut, a Thai and sushi spot, and a creperie. A bar is available, and wine/champagne can be ordered for an additional charge.

The heated pool is open year-round and includes a shallow end, a fence around the pool, sun loungers, and pool/beach towels available from the front desk. The hot tub is set under a tiki hut. The private beach area is small (described as approximately 15 m of sand) and the water is very shallow, making swimming there impractical. A fitness centre is open 24 hours. Bicycle rental is available on site for exploring nearby areas, and a golf course is within 3 km. There is no spa or wellness centre. The pool area also features a large screen TV.

Parking is free and does not require a reservation; there are also electric vehicle charging stations. A business centre and meeting/banquet facilities are available for an additional charge. The hotel provides a minimarket on site, vending machines for drinks and snacks, and a shared lounge/TV area. Laundry facilities are available on site, and dry cleaning and ironing services can be arranged for a fee. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available on the ground floor, and the pool and hot tub both have wheelchair lifts. The hotel is non-smoking throughout, with designated smoking areas outdoors.
