“Worst bed ever”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012 via mobile

Location is great if you want to be where the action is. However, the beds are so horrible that I would never recommend staying here. I can't imagine how old or cheap the mattresses must be. Worse than a sofa bed.
To be fair, staff was very nice, but really, really bad beds.

Yes, our location can't be beat! However, we're surprised to hear that you found your bed to be this uncomfortable. That's not a complaint that we receive often, so we will be happy to look into this further. That said, we would have been happy to move you to a different room—don't hesitate to ask! Still, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to show you a 5-star experience next time you visit Key West.

Best,
Pegasus Management

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

What we liked: Location is simply perfect, close to everything important (Duval street - the most busy street in the town, Zachary fort - the most beautiful beach, sunset square, shops, restaurants etc.). Room was small, but nice and clean. Parking was for 10 USD per night, wifi was for free (good connection).
What we didn´t like: We couldn´t open the window so we missed fresh air. Breakfast was very basic.

Yes, Zachary fort is a beautiful beach! We're so glad that we're just minutes away from the waves. It sounds like you had a lovely stay, Petra. Thank you for leaving such kind words, and for sharing your thoughts about our breakfast—we'll see what we can do to introduce a bit more variety. Once again, thank you for the fabulous review. We'd love to welcome you back next time you're looking to soak up the sun!

“A really comfortable stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

We had a really good time with the Pegasus as our home base. The owners really are vested into keeping this place up. We had a great time at the bar; Gary took care of our every need when we stopped by the bar. We hung out at the hot tub a couple of nights - they cleaned the pool and hot tub every day. This is a very reasonable place to stay; while not having all the bells and whistles of the higher end properties, we experienced comfort and rest at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for?! The only change I would make was requesting a room with a mattress topper - our mattress was so firm as to make my hands numb sleeping on it overnight.

Thanks for staying with us! We're so glad that you were able to unwind in the hot tub after long days at the beach. We'll definitely keep your suggestion about the mattresses in mind—but don't hesitate to ask for a different room next time! :) We hope to welcome you back soon.

“A gem at Duval st.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012 via mobile

The hotel offers a good value for money with great location and comfy, clean rooms. The staff was very helpful and parking on hotel's lot was reasonably priced. Complimentary breakfast was scarce as usually, but was enough to start the day for me. The rooftop pool area is an outstanding place to enjoy the hot Florida sun. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay close to the Duval street and all its attractions.

“great vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

We stayed at the Pegasus just a few days but we felt very welcomed and enjoyed our stay very much. Everybody was friendly and polite. They have very nice deck with the view of Duval street so we could watch the Christmas parade. A small bar with happy hour drinks and we even happened to try some Indian cuisine. And of course Jacuzzi was great after a long day. The room was nicely decorated, very clean. Most of all I liked that they have big flat screen tv in the room. Housekeeping service was on top as well: fresh towels every day. They also serve continental breakfast. Everything is in a walking distance. For a late hour snack there is a pizza place right next door.
