Chickens in Key West might wake you up
Here is a review of the Palms Hotel in Key West:
The bird across the steer started at 4:30 am screaming out every word in its vocabulary could not block it out out it was so loud the sound came right through the doors and windows.
Now here is the response from hotel management about their friendly neighborhood chicken in Key West:
Thank you for staying with us at The Palms Hotel, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
We apologize for our neighbor Mr. Longwings, we suspect mating season is on and he’s on the lookout for a pretty ladybird.
A noise complaint has been delivered and we hope to cease this as soon as possible.
Earplugs are available per request at the front desk.
As Key West is considered a Bird Sanctuary, we are unfortunately unable to vacate Mr. Longwings.
We hope this doesn’t change your mind about coming back to us.
We look forward to seeing you again soon. 🙂
So if you want a totally Key West experience, book a stay at the Palms Hotel?! 😆
It is rated pretty good otherwise and pretty “cheap” for Key West. (There are no cheap hotels in Key West.)
