Had a great time meeting a whole bunch of fun, friendly folks. Rooms are good if you get the renovated ones. Happy hour is fun. Quick walk to Island House or Duval street, and plenty of food options nearby, including a health food restaurant, drug store, small supermarket. Most folks brought liquor and mixers, which you can bring to the... More

Third time there. They have acquired the next door guest house and had construction ongoing during stay. They tried to put us in two different rooms which had construction going on outside them-residing the building and repairing rails and painting. Each nite, the crew left boards and building supplies outside which you had to step over to get to one... More

Just returned from 8 nights in Key West and our first stay at the Equator. The staff could not have been more accommodating and fun. The room was very comfortable and well-kept during our stay. The pool area is perfection .... 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, beautifully landscaped, plenty of sun, comfortable furniture and so many wonderful guests to visit... More

This was our first trip to Key West and our first time staying in an all male resort. I could not have been more pleased! Our room (12) was spacious, well decorated and kept immaculately clean. The common areas of the resort were anything but common, 2 pools heated to the perfect temperature and 2 hot tubs that were big... More

My partner and I have been traveling to KW together for over ten years. This was our first stay at the Equator Resort, and we are happy to call it our new home! We honestly could not complain one bit about our stay. It was one of our best vacations in KW in years! From the moment we arrived, the... More

We stayed for 8 nights in April 2013, and travelling as a couple. On our last stay we stayed at The Oasis, so were disappointed to hear it had been taken over, and gone mixed. So we checked out the alternatives, and are very pleased we chose The Equator to stay in. I believe they have taken all that the... More

Very nice B and B. Staff was friendly, room was exactly as the picture I was sent. Rooms were a bit pricey but considering the time I went (late April) I was still in the "high season" but they were extremely clean. I was in room 40 located right on Flemming street. Room was nicely carpeted, bed very comfortable, sheets... More

We have recently returned after staying 1 week in mid March at the Equator. We did not know what to expect as this was our first stay at the Equator having stayed many years at the Oasis. However due to the sale of the property and the switch from exclusively Gay to All Welcoming we decided to give the Equator... More

My partner and I have been to Key West several times and always enjoy our stay at the Equator. It's small enough to chat and get to know the other guests, and the management staff is always around to answer questions, make reservations, etc... The staff is always friendly and housekeeping does an excellent job! Breakfast and happy hour are... More

My partner and I were long time quests of The Oasis and made the switch to the Equator this year after the change in management and policies. It was a great place and will be missed. We usually stay for two weeks so we really want a place where we can feel comfortable. Staff was very accomadating and assisting in,... More
