Bad, the Days Inn on Roosevelt is a nice stay. Its located as soon as you enter key west on your left. It has the dennys attached to it down stairs.
That is about 3 miles to duval street. But i like that location. Around that area is a bunch of hotels, not much goes on up there. Good spot. How much are they asking a night?

davisnj,

Thanks for the intel! Sounds like I may have gotten blind luck with the reservation. Having a Denny's nearby doesn't hurt either. It was about 109$ w/tax.
