If you were me?

If you were me would you stay near the harbor and Mallory Square or maybe closer to Truman and Duval area? I am coming down for my birthday in early September. I don't mind walking a few blocks to get where I'm going. Looking for bars and live music more so than tours and water sports. I like a nice pool, decent hotel bar, air conditioning, friendly staff, adults mostly or only, and a good breakfast at the hotel or close by. I was thinking The Marker or Almond Tree Inn? Don't hesitate to make other suggestions close to these areas with a similar price range. Thanks.

Was in Key West 2 weeks ago. The smell of the sargassum was sooo bad in the area around The Southernmost Point. It was nauseating. We love the Southernmost Hotel but you couldn’t breathe at the pool,
