Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Key West offers modern lodging on North Roosevelt Boulevard, a convenient location about 1.9 miles from The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum and 2.7 miles from Key West International Airport. The hotel includes guest-friendly amenities such as a pool with fountains, cabanas, and a tiki bar, along with a free hot breakfast served daily. Check-in is from 3 PM and check-out is by 11 AM.
The property accommodates a variety of travelers, including LGBTQ+ guests, and provides access to onsite rental services like scooters and bicycles, making it easy to explore the area. Guest reviews commonly note the helpful shuttle service to downtown Key West, which adds convenience given the hotel’s location slightly outside the main historic district. Rooms are described as clean and comfortable but somewhat small, with some guests mentioning a motel-like layout and older facilities.
While some travelers appreciate the value and relaxing pool area, others observe that the decor and bathroom sizes may feel dated compared to newer or more central options. The hotel tends to appeal to visitors looking for a quieter stay compared to busier nearby resorts, with easy access to local attractions such as Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park Beach and the Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S.A. The setting works well as a practical home base for exploring Key West rather than a luxury destination.
