Parrot Key Resort???

[JESpaulding11]

Has anyone stayed at the Parrot Key Hotel and Resort in Key West?? We're trying to get some prices on oceanfront rooms and compare them to other resorts. Thanks!!!

I haven't stayed there, but it's location would be a deal breaker for me.  The location is in what's called "New Town," which is a bit far from the action of Key West.  Most people visiting Key West want to stay in "Old Town," fairly close to Duval Street, where they can walk to most of the sights and beaches/marinas.  If you prefer a fairly calm resort, the Southernmost Resort properties are on the quiet end of Duval (Southernmost Hotel is often very reasonably priced).  Hyatt, Pier House, Ocean Key are some of the nicer resorts on the other, "party" end of Duval.  There are also lots of privately owned, adorable B&Bs and cottages throughout old town.  We've had good experiences at the Mermaid and the Alligator and many family members have enjoyed staying at Courtney's Place.

 

Here is a good map of Key West neighborhoods: http://vacationhomesofkeywest.com/key-west-map.html.  I prefer to stay in the Heart of Old Town, Historic Seaport, or Downtown.  Truman Annex is also very nice (mostly very high end cottages/vacation rentals).  Bahama Village is fun to go to during the day, but I've been told to avoid it at night.
