This is a wired internet data service that is 50 times faster than telephone modems to all the guest rooms but will also include wireless internet service to the entire Captain Hiram�s complex.  �Yes, you can sit by our pool, on our beach or your boat and surf the Internet or download files for work!� said Collins. 
 



The Key West Inn Concept; 
Different by Design

From the time you first see a Key West Inn, you know it's different. The architecture isn't what you'll typically find at an affordable, small lodging chain. But that's just the point. Cory Jackson,Sr., Chairman and CEO of Key West Inns, believes that travelers are tired of look-alike hotels. He believes that people are looking for a unique lodging experience. That's why he created KeyWest Inns. 

But Jackson wasn't alone in his faith in the Key West Inn concept. A family with deep roots in the hospitality industry, Jackson and his sons, Cory Jackson, Jr., President of Key West Inns,and Neal Jackson, Vice President, worked as a team to build a lodging brand that continues to delight guests with its charm and affordability. 

Modeled after historic buildings in Key West, Florida, each Inn features Victorian-style exteriors complete with shutters, gingerbread trim, and a balustrade running along the balcony which also services as the corridor to rooms. 

The tropical theme continues inside with a lobby featuring ceiling fans, sky-blue walls, and wicker furniture. The guest rooms are also bright and airy with light wood furniture, pastel colors, tropical-themed fabrics and framed lithographs of famous Key West Inn landmarks. 

But, most importantly, you'll find management committed to offering quality service at a reasonable rate.
