The Perry Hotel & Marina Key West

"Give us an overview of this place.A newer hotel in Key West, the naval-inspired Perry Hotel is tucked away on Stock Island. Rooms overlook a marina, adding to the nautical vibes. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?All rooms have spacious balconies overlooking either the adjacent marina or the mangroves. They're also bright and have an industrial-meets-coastal chic, with wooden fans and local photography. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?The Wi-Fi is free. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?There are two restaurants: Matt's Stock Island Kitchen & Bar and Salty Oyster Dockside Bar & Grill. The former, which is more upscale, focuses on seafood with a Southern accent; think black grouper with cornbread gnudi, kale, and crawfish-thyme butter. Sloppy Joe’s Dockside is the go-to spot for live music and craft cocktails. Anything stand out about the service? You're treated to sparkling wine as soon as you walk in, which sets the tone for the rest of your stay. What types of travelers will you find here?Groups of women-only weekend getaways, and couples. What about the neighborhood? What else is around here?The hotel is five miles from Duval Street—perhaps its only downfall. There's not really much to do in the immediate vicinity. Any other hotel features worth noting?The Perry is dog friendly—there are even two dog parks here. Bottom line: Why are we choosing the Perry?Very good on-site dining, a stellar pool area, and clean, chic rooms make The Perry one of Key West's best options." - Laura Ratliff
