We enjoyed our stay here. Our room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. They have 2 nice pools, a hot tub, and a tiki bar. The price is fair, and the location is good, within walking distance to bars/grills and on the marina. No free breakfast, but Doc's Dinner is right across the road.

This was a surprising quiet room for so close to the highway. Best complimentary breakfasts I have ever had in a Holiday Inn. Very comfortable room with two queens with marvelous mattresses. It was not inexpensive but it was worth it for me on a working trip. The staff did a good job and the room was very well kept up. I would stay here again… Read more

I am beyond disappointed with my experience at Holiday Inn Key Largo. What was supposed to be a special birthday celebration for my wife turned into an absolute nightmare.

I am beyond disappointed with my experience at Holiday Inn Key Largo. What was supposed to be a special birthday celebration for my wife turned into an absolute nightmare. The service was horrendous—staff were unhelpful, and the guard was absolutely rude and disrespectful. Someone like that should not be working with the public. On top of that, we experienced blatant racism during our stay, which is completely unacceptable. No wonder this place only has 3 stars—it deserves just 1, if that. I’ve been to many places in the Keys, but I will never go back to this one, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Avoid this place if you care about being treated with basic respect Read less

We also ordered nachos, and they were terrible – definitely not something I’d recommend. Overall, disappointing service and food. Read less
