Fort Jefferson Visitor Center

The listing says this property is “on beach property,” but it is not on the beach or even close to a beach, which was very misleading. While we were staying there, the pool was also resurfaced. We were told that it was a “last-minute” discovery that the pool needed to be closed, but this significantly affected our stay. We also had trouble getting ahold of anyone when we had questions or concerns. Calls to the management/maintenance contact went unanswered, and no one returned our calls. Another issue was the condition of the balconies. We were on one of the lower floors, and whenever the guests above us used their deck, dirt and sand would fall down onto ours while we were sitting outside. It made it very unpleasant to actually use the outdoor space. Overall, the property description was misleading, the unexpected pool closure was disappointing, communication was poor, and the balcony situation made the stay less enjoyable than expected.

Property was everything as described, clean, in the heart of the excitement that is Key West Pool was refreshing and close to tiki bar and local entertainment. The room was spacious, clean and comfy beds. There were issues and there was really no staff to address. Most impactive was the fire alarm. First started going off rang for a min or two, then reset. Happened a dozen times, each causing us to avoid sleep, leave room to make sure nothing was wrong. It wasn't. Then around 10 PM it went off and would not stop. Tried to call office, but nobody there after 6pm. Freaking insane, no emergency contact, maintenance number, nothing. We sent email in hopes it w May have been monitored... nope. Been 2 days and heard nothing back at all. Found the bartender at on site tici bar and though he abd is barback wete busy they found a ladder, called someone who told them to remove the devise. Eureka after almost 3 hours problem solved. Safety device removed and left peace and quite, perhaps fo fire warning, buy fine Also internet and this TV / entertainment no work. No maintenance, no visible router to reboot, be gave up and ended the insanity Maintenance guy was at the door early morning to properly troubleshoot or replace fire annunciator We only were booked for a night so when we checked out in morning front desk girl simply apologized and was actually sort of blowing us off as she was leaving the desk empty the service a near $600 o/n should offer
