The hallway to the room had a horrible odor as well. The elevator was tiny, like a butler elevator, and smelled horrible. Needless to say – stay away from the old tower. I didn’t know this was a thing until a reader, thanks Pam, let me know that there was a difference between the towers. The check in snafu was the only issue I had with service during our stay. My bags arrived at my door minutes after I got up there. After doing the line decision tango again I was informed that my room was ready and I had been “upgraded” to a room with an ocean view. That did not please me at all, that people just arriving were getting rooms before I had been texted. He said they would text me when the room was ready.Īfter about an hour I headed back in to check on the room and saw other people getting checked in who had just arrived. The front desk clerk said it shouldn’t be too long and they offered to store our bags while we went to the beach. They did not have a room ready but said one had been cleaned already and just needed final inspections. I saw both things happen during our stay so it seems like no one really knows. The set up is a little strange that you aren’t sure if you should choose a desk and get behind someone or wait in one big line. There wasn’t a Diamond check in area or priority line. When I went to check in there were 3-4 employees working the desks most of the time. It is also one of the few properties in the Keys with a beach. It is a great location if you want to enjoy the weather of Key West, which was noticeably warmer than Marathon, without the craziness of Duval street. The hotel is about 3 miles from Key West’s airport though I suspect a lot of people fly into Miami and drive down. While walk able, if you want to punish yourself I guess, an Uber ride will cost you around $10 each way.
It is about 1.5 miles away from the action of Duval street and Mallory Square (sunset shows etc.). The Casa Marina property is located on the southern end of Key West, not too far from the southern most point of the continental United States. I was looking forward to using my Aspire card $250 statement credit at the property though.

This would also be a prime place to use a free night award but I hadn’t received mine yet from my newly acquired Aspire card. At around $0.007 per Hilton point I felt like that was a pretty good use of Hilton points. Unless you like burning cash I would never pay the cash rate here. The cash rate seems to hover around $500 but it jumps to $600 when you throw in taxes and the $35 per night resort fee. The rooms were going for 80,000 Hilton Honors points per night, which seems like the lowest it may go. It is a Category 9 Hilton property, not that categories really matter since Hilton uses more dynamic award pricing. The Casa Marina Key West is a part of the Waldorf Astoria Resort group which is under the Hilton umbrella. I will like to other peoples photos on Trip Advisor in the two areas where I lack a few photos. The day was a little hectic so I am going to apologize in advance that I don’t have as many pictures as I should.

Plus I thought it would be a great hotel to review. The Casa Marina seemed like the best hotel available with a beach so that is what we went with. I wanted a hotel with a beach so they could play…which is no easy task in the Florida Keys. I decided to stay at Casa Marina because the kids would be with us during the day before heading back to Marathon with my parents. While we spent most of the trip in at the Hyatt in Marathonmy wife and I spent one night in Key West. My family and I recently returned from a family trip to the Florida Keys.
