Default Key West?

Looking for three nights in Key West, June 20-23, and wonder if anyone can give a review the Blue Marlin Hotel, and things to cram into three days?

Have done some searches and read some stories. Just some folks from SW VA. making the Pilgrimage for the first time.

Thanks,

bomtek44

I can give you a review of the Blue Marlin after I get back from my trip to Key West the first weekend in June. A group of us from the Richmond area are heading down and have reservations there. I got the Blue Marlin from the book "Great American Motorcycle Tours" by Gary McKechnie and it had pretty good AAA ratings. I was going to stay at the nearby Best Western but it was already booked up for that weekend. It looks like a good location and has parking which is valuable in old town Key West. Also it is in walking distance of most of the spots along Duval Street.

I stayed here last year after bike week, http://www.marreros.com/, half a block from Duval Street. Prices not to bad (For Key West). They have a small area where you can squeeze your Harley for free off road parking :-)

Well, we actually booked the Blue Marlin 6-20 thru 6-24-11. Will be riding from VA to Savannah on 18th, to Boca Raton on 19th, and KW on the 20th. Leaving the 24th to Daytona, the 25th to Columbia, SC, and home on the 26th.

See you are riding down the Florida coast on Sunday 19th, if you get chance stop off at 'Earls Hidaway' in Sebastian for a cold one, you won't regret it :-)
