I booked a room with this condo and was quite hesitant based on some of the posts on the reviews located here. I have to say that I was happy with the accommodations. The price was fair for the resort based in Key West and the conditions were acceptable.

We scheduled time which was during peak season so the resort was around $400 a night. For Key Wes that is an average price for this time of year however this was a condo with 2 bedrooms and 2 bath rooms.

The location is nice and relatively quite. The resort is located near the airport, however the island is only around 10 miles in size so you really can’t get away from the airport. The Resort is not located on a through street and is closer to the residential side of the island which adds to the quiet atmosphere. The location is only minutes from Smathers Beach via car or about a 15 minute walk. You will need a taxi or car to get to the old town area where most of the tourist activities are.

There were some reviews that indicated that the resort was not well maintained and the staff was not very accommodating. The unit we stayed in was clean and maintained well. The pool and hot tub area was also clean and well maintained. We’ve stayed in other condos at other locations and in comparison this was much nicer.

Most of the negative reviews sound like they are people who don’t travel much and or have never been to the keys. This is not a luxury hotel and since it’s a condo type unit you will not receive that sort of service. If you are looking for a luxury stay you may want to consider another hotel although even the luxury hotels on Key West do not compare to the standards of that on the mainland.

Cheked into Sunrise located directly next to the airport and when assigned the room I asked if this room had a nice view. She assured me it was great - it faced a line of bushes and a road. The screen fell off the door when I went out on the porch, two drawers were missing in the kitchen, the blender was broken and unusable. The whole place smelled awful. It was dirty. I immediatly went over and requested a new condo. I asked if I was in for more of the same and her reply "no, it's only that unit" Why, I thought would she put ANYONE in a unit like that? While I was in the office, two more families came over to complain about the conditions. I honestly don't know how anyone could give this place a decent review. People spend their hard-earned money with limited time for vacation and end up staying in dumps with managers who could really care less about the condition of their property. We checked out two days later and found room at the Southern Most Hotel - now that was wonderful!!

The Sunrise Suites Resort was great. We had six people in the group, there were two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen with bar counter. nice big den fully furnished and balcony. The suites were right by the air port and not hard to find. All though, on one side of the island, it's completely flat and biking to down town to Duval St. only took 10 - 20 minutes, 5 - 10 by taxi, no big deal. The grounds of the Sunrise Suites were very well kept. What can I say, it was great.

Though a little hard to find amid all the hotels in the seaside drive, it is probably as good as any other property. Whole of keywest is sort of friendly and laid back, and I felt the same about this hotel too. If you want a fancy place, go stay in Hyatt.
Our unit had 2 bed rooms and a sofa that turns into a bed. The beds in the rooms were comfortable, whereas the bed in sofa is horrible. The property has a nice swimming pool, rusty gym and laundry. It is definitely not facing the ocean. From our room we could clearly see the runway of the airport. But this being keywest, there are rarely any big jets landing and hence very less noise. And a total silence in the night. The kitchen was good and well furnished. The microwave stopped working after a couple days and was not replaced.

I definitely dont mind staying there again.
