Marquesa Hotel in Florida

Filed in archive Weekend Getaways on February 11, 2006

"Hey, don't you blog about hotels? D and I had a great time last weekend over at Marquesa Hotel in Florida. You should write about them."

My cousin then went on and wrote a review for me. Since she and I have had the same taste since we were kids, I am going to trust her judgement.

If you are thinking of spending a weekend in Key West, do consider The Marquesa Hotel. "An awesome hotel where service is superb. The rooms are comfy, clean and well maintained."

Frommer's even gushed about it: "The Marquesa offers the charm of a small historic hotel coupled with the amenities of a large resort. It encompasses four buildings, two swimming pools, and a three-stage waterfall that cascades into a lily pond. Two of the hotel's houses are luxuriously restored Victorian homes whose rooms are outfitted with extraplush antiques and oversized contemporary furniture. The rooms in the two other, newly constructed, buildings are even more opulent; many have four-poster wrought-iron beds with bright floral spreads."

Trip Advisor has even more ex-guests raving about Marquesa Hotel. Except for one, that is. A review of a guest who seems to be bitter about not getting to stay at the 350USD suite is the only black mark over at that hotel rating site.
