Floridians I need some help. My 17 year old daughter is on break from school in Maine and would like to go somewhere warm for a short stay while home. Where could you recommend in or around Key West for a long weekend next week. Hopefully family friendly. There will be 4 or 5 of us if it works out. Thanks.

I'll be there next weekend. We're staying at the Courtyard. Ain't cheap, but I'm using lots of Marriott points to pay for it. : )

Sounds good John. I'm having trouble finding a flight right now. Looks like we might have waited too long. I lke your boat.

I've got a canalfront, 3 bedroom 2 bath house that I rent weekly in Marathon (about 50 minutes from Key West). You can view photos, rates and availability at www.vrbo.com/70014. Keep in mind that I give fellow THTer's 10 percent off the posted weekly rates. Good luck, Jim

Gonna be difficult to find rooms without one of the "black" american express cards.

If you can get in Almond Inn, about a block off Duval, there's a Dennys on the Corner, and your still within walking/crawling distance of most anything. Rooms not large, but very up to date and clean. Small pool. Rental (elec) cars next door.

If you're hard up and want a blast from the past, El Patio Motel. Straight out of the 40's (maybe 30's), great architecture,green floor tile and all. Bathroom, shall we say small, but good if you're hung over. You can sit on the stool and get your head in the sink at the same time. And if you stretch out your legs, your feet can be in the shower too! It was clean and they even upgraded my room last time. It even had a 13in tv, though not in the bedroom! Nice courtyard and small pool. And if you don't beleive me about El Patio, go check it out!!!

I tryed to find a place to stay about 3 weeks ago and ended up at the Dolphin Marina on Little Torch Key. Truly nothing fancy, no phone, 175+ a night, but was quiet till some guys in a 48ft Viking pulled in all wearing rain suits. Needless to say it was windy out side!!!

Try calling the Key West Innkeeper's Association. I called them yesterday afternoon and within the hour they had me all set for this coming weekend. 1-800-492-1911

Leave a detailed message and they will get back to you.

I'm spending Wed / Thur in Islamorada @ Bud & Mary's, Key West on Friday night and back to Bud & Mary's for Saturday night. Last minute idea to spend a night in Key West on Friday and the lady at the Innkeeper's association was great.
