Studio units here are actually the smaller side of a 2BR "lockoff". The "studio" side is quite small, with no stove, no hot plate, no counter space and no sink except for the bathroom sink. King size bed was a pleasant surprise, however. Studio is more like a motel room than a condo unit, actually. We rented directly from an owner and no larger sized unit was available for the week that we sought. Small dormitory-type "mini-fridge". WiFi did not work inside the unit at any time during our week long stay (I reported the problem, but it was never addressed) --- not a big deal however, as we certainly weren't in Key West to be spending time on a computer. $45.00 additional charge per week for parking in the garage next door (very convenient and we had no objection to that additional fee). Front desk staff seemed a bit disengaged and disinterested, but we had no special needs or requests and very little contact anyhow, so not at all an issue for us.
This is certainly the best Hyatt location by far among the four Hyatt properties (only three of which are actually timeshares) in Key West, but the front desk staff seemed to exhibit some "attitude". Housekeeping personnel attempted to enter our unit (without knocking first, btw) at 8:00 a.m. on check-out day (check-out time is not until 10:00 a.m., two hours later), despite the obvious "Do Not Disturb" tag prominently hung outside on our door. No big deal; we were already up and just politely sent her away, checking out around 9:15 a.m.
This is a great Key West location and we thoroughly enjoyed our week in KW. The staff "attitude" here was a bit of a surprise and a bit of a disappointment for a Hyatt-quality property, but I suppose everyone has bad days now and then. We would certainly return (and we already plan to do so via rental in 2018) --- but never again in a "studio".
