I had a wonderful stay at the Arch House Studio. The hotel had a great price and fantastic location, making it easy to explore the area. The grounds were beautifully kept, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, the bed in my room left much to be desired, which affected my overall comfort. If they could just improve the mattresses, it would truly elevate the whole experience.

The location of the hotel is fantastic, being very close to everything we wanted to explore in Key West. Our room had a lovely kitchen which was perfect for our stay. However, the dining options felt lacking, especially when considering other available offerings in the area. While the service was generally good, a few more proactive staff members could improve the experience.
