The Island City House is a charming hotel with spacious and accommodating rooms boasting a great Key West vibe, despite some noise from traffic and slight mustiness. The service is incredibly friendly and helpful, allowing guests to store luggage after check-out. The location couldn't be better, offering a lovely setting close to local attractions. The dining options, while fresh, may not always align with what is advertised. The facilities include beautiful tropical plants, water features, a sauna, and a pool.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms felt like a one-bedroom apartment, spacious, and well-equipped, and the pool was just what I needed to cool off in the heat. However, the cleaning service was a bit lacking in attention to detail. The location was perfect, close to all the main attractions, but the allocation of rooms was a bit off despite booking well in advance.

The hotel is cozy and suitable for a short stay, featuring rooms with sitting areas, separate bedrooms, and full kitchens. However, it may not be ideal for those with mobility issues due to the lack of an elevator and slightly uneven brick pathways.

The location is great, within walking distance to Duval Street, Mallory Square, and the meeting point for water adventure tours. Just keep in mind that it's on a hill.

The dining experience wasn't necessary for me as they left free water and snacks every day. However, the $5 voucher per person at a bakery could have been more appealing.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were incredibly clean and beautiful, and the patio offered lots of private space, perfect for relaxing anytime. The location was superb, just a few minutes from the waterfront and amazing restaurants, with beautifully maintained grounds and a relaxing pool area. The service was outstanding, with extra coffee provided by kind staff. However, housekeeping missed some details, and there was no apology for inconveniences. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and accommodating, but I faced issues with availability and the pricing was on the higher side. The service was hit or miss, with some staff members being kind and welcoming while others lacked attention to detail. The location was truly amazing, close to all the attractions, but the neighborhood felt a bit mixed. Despite some drawbacks, the pool area was wonderfully relaxing.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a quiet casual setting. While the lighting could be brighter, the overall stay was comfortable and pleasant. The service was friendly and responsive, enhancing the enjoyable experience. The tropical oasis feel of the well-landscaped location adds to the charm, although it may not be ideal for those looking for a modern atmosphere. The dining options nearby are convenient, though the on-site dining could be improved. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for enhancement.
