Don't stay at the Banana Bay Resort. It's not terrible but I'm sure there are better options. I wont stay here again.
Pros:
Rooms are clean and staff is friendly
Nice pool
Quiet
Cons:
Very basic continental b-fast
Have to pay for internet, $10/day or $23/3-day but it's been only working about 50% of time.
Half of news programs on tv are blocked by v-chip because they are unrated. I don't know if it's just my tv or the whole operation. When I asked the front dest I might as well have been speaking Japanese.
I don't spend all of my time in the room but when I'm there I want things to work, especially if I have to pay extra for it.
I drove by the Holiday Inn yesterday and it looks pretty decent from the outside.
If you decide to drive to Key West for the sunset festivities give yourself 2 hours to get there and find a place to park.
Enjoy
