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,

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 :-)
