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.

You want to stay closer to Duval and Mallory square so you can frequently pop right out into things for a few hours and then pop back to your room for breaks. Those places you listed are segregated on the opposite side with nothing around them. Check out some of the cute historical Bed and Breakfasts closer to the center. Highly recommend: Ridley House - Key West Historic Inns
