Great Location, Staff and Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/13/08
The Pier House is perfectly located at the end of Duval Street and a stone-throw away from Mallory Square, putting you right in the heart of all the sights and sounds of Key West. Even with that said, I found my room to be perfectly quiet at night and had no issues escaping the noise of the streets to relax and unwind when I needed to.
The private beach is possibly the best the island has to offer (at least the cleanest, most accessible and friendliest), with a bar and grill located right on it (even having a waitress go around and ask if you'd like a drink to be brought to you) and helpful staff to put out chairs and provide towels as needed. There currently is construction going on to the grounds, as they are expanding and putting in new rooms overlooking the Gulf, but this was never an issue. The concierge and front desk was more than helpful, providing suggestions and coupons for discounts to the attractions on the Island, as well.
The room itself was rather large, with a very pronounced Carribbean theme. The staff always cleaned the room consistently (which must be a pain with all the sand that gets tracked in from the beach) and there was never any issues as it relates to room service.
The restraunts on site are top-notch, and I often found myself eating at the Pier House for the ease and excellent offerings.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will look no where else when I return to Key West with my wife.
