“Very nice little hotel”

Truman Hotel

5 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Truman Hotel from for two nights (Sat. & Sun). It was the Carribean Pirate's Festival and also a weekend, so getting a reasonably priced room was a little tough. I finally booked Truman after reading (mixed) reviews at Tripadvisor and making tons of phone calls to all inexpensive hotels... It turned out to be a very nice choice!!! Room (I stayed at 107) was incredibly clean and *tastefully* decorated. Free internet (better bring your own cable, but I borrowed the cable from the registration desk), free bottle of water, free chocolate, free parking, very simple but free breakfast. The bed was very comfortable. My only complain is that water pressure at bathroom could have been larger...

Location: it is close to the south end of the town, which means it's a 15 mintues' walk to Malcoy Square and historical port ). But it's a very enjoyable walk. The hotel is 1.5 block from Duval, and close to the fabulous restaurants at Bahama Village.

People there are friendly. Bill, the old gentleman at the registration desk, offered lots of help and seemed to have a lot of stories to tell about this small town.. Bill helped me book the Tortugas ferry ticket just one night before the trip, and I had a great time at the Tortugas NP thanks to Bill.. I am pretty sure there are many other good lodging choices around old town too, but Truman in my opinion is one of those better choices:)

“Such a nice hotel!!!”

3/3 found this review helpful

Oh, my God!! I can't believe my luck. I randomly booked the hotel since my normal stay was asking outrateous rates during the Peterson Poker Run. I took my wife and she was amazed at how nice a place I took her to. *patting myself on the back*

If you're going to Key West during a major event, all hotels will upcharge. I paid $269.00 per night. Contact them from their website for current rates and to see pictures of a room, although the pictures don't really do it justice. For example, they show two pillows on the bed although each bed had at least six and the room colors aren't as brilliant as in person. Rooms are brand new and resemble a boutique hotel's. Plasma tv and there is the most awesome shower. Very comfortable mattress, too. The breakfast is outside in the court yard and consists of homemade-tasting pastries and fresh fruit. Great orange juice and coffee. High speed internet is available by the desk...bring your own cable cord,though, as the office only had one. Not a lot of storage space, as the only negative.

It's located one block from Duval where there is a ticket office for the tram. We were easily able to walk from Mallory Square back to the hotel so you may not need it unless you want a narrated tour.

“A little expensive, but excellent room”

2/2 found this review helpful

We booked into the hotel at the last minute and think we were stung a little on the price. $270 plus tax. (Having read the prices that other guests have paid previously). However it was labour weekend so most hotels were booked.

Apart from the price, the hotel is excellent and the rooms like something from a magazine.

Looking at other reviews it is clear the hotel has undergone a major make over, and all credit to whoever did it, as it really is 5*

We found the staff very friendly and helpful, and overall would recommend without hesitation.

“Extra Touches makes it a well deserved treat after a hot key west day!”

1/1 found this review helpful

Upon arrival the Guy who checked us in was personable, very helpful, friendly and went out of his way to make sure we were all setteled in. The court yard was beautiful with stone and palm trees everywhere....looks like they are doing some work and adding a pool and some landscaping at the parking lot. It also has free parking, free continental breakfeast. The rooms were from a 5 star hotel like the Westin. Dream style beads with a mound of soft pillows and soft topping with clean white sheets and desiner comforter. The bathroom was out of a magazine. VERY CLEAN....glass doors with brown and blue tiles and bowl basen sinks with desiner fixtures. The extra touches were deep plush towels and bath and body work shampoo and soaps. Plasma TV and wooden blinds with desiner curtins set the room off. The a/c worked GREAT! combined with the fan after a long day out in key west was perfect!.....Its located in a great spot......2 blocks from the action and right accross from a dennys and a cvs. PERFECT for a budget traveler looking for EXCELLENT DEAL at only $159 a night it was a steal for the service and ammenites!

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The service, the rooms and the location! PERFECTION
    • Disliked — A bit far of a walk to the main market but not to bad....its closer to the southern pointe than the main market place

“Pleasantly surprised”

Truman Hotel

Jul 15, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We had a girls' getaway in July and were pleasantly surprised with our experience at the Truman. This recently renovated hotel was above
our expectations. At check in Jason was very friendly and helpful. The room was tastefully decorated with a very soothing color scheme.
It was very clean and comfortable. The extra touches like the Bath and Body Works soaps, chocolates and bottled water were much appreciated. They have the standard in-room coffee makers and mini-refrigerators, but if you're a coffee drinker who enjoys real milk or cream, pick some up at the nearby CVS because the hotel only offers those nasty powdered creamers. Overall, we loved everything about the Truman and plan to return in the near future.
