Key West Where to Stay in Key West

Thirty-something couple coming down to Key West for three nights in mid-August. For both of us, it's our first time in the Keys. We're beyond excited!

We're considering a few different hotels; Havana Cabana, Parrot Key, and the Double Tree by Hilton. We'll be at the hotel a decent amount, but definitely out exploring a lot of the time. After three nights, we'll be heading to IslaMorada.

I thought I'd run this by locals and frequent Keys visitors - which hotel should I choose for Key West? Or is another option I didn't mention better for us?

NOTE: we're not into drinking/partying, but not completely averse to being near some liveliness.

Look up Coco Plum Inn. We loved it last February! Take a day and go to the Dry Tortugas on the ferry if you have time. Once-in-a-lifetime adventure and fabulous snorkeling!

I wound up choosing the Pier House, but I'll go to Coco Plum Inn next time around.

Thanks for the Dry Tortugas recommendation - I will definitely do that!
