Loved everything about our stay. Nice location (quiet, but close to where things are happening), clean room, cool building, great communication. The staff, and in particular the manager, is very friendly and attentive, and took the time to get to know us and our plans in order to help us get the most out of our trip. Would definitely stay here again :)

Location was great and it was super quiet. Room size was good and bathroom was roomy.The only thing that could have made it better was a pool or hot tub but the court yard was beautiful and peaceful. I really liked sitting on the porch and rocking. Parking was convenient. Street parking is everywhere.

We loved the Porch on Frances Inn and will definitely be back! It is in a great location, close to everything but also quiet. The staff is so friendly and helpful that they were more like friends. It’s beautifully decorated and simple…everything you need and nothing you don’t. We can’t wait to come back to Key West and POFI.

This Inn is in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to walk to all the tourist spots. The check-in/check-out was done independently and proved convenient. We enjoyed having the porch to hang out after a long day.

Can’t say enough good things about our stay here. The staff were amazing with communication and everyday ensuring everything was going ok. The location was perfect in our opinion. The room was super clean and had everything we needed. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Key West at this point and we plan to come back and stay again hopefully sooner than later :).

From a service standpoint, probably the best I’ve experienced in KW. Super clean and friendly/helpful staff. Like most KW hotels, they are old houses converted, so you can hear neighbors. But overall outstanding.

I enjoyed my stay, but BEWARE: free parking is a misnomer at best and false advertising at worst. There is no free onsite parking. Rather, there can be street parking around the property that is available, but a lot of it is reserved for residents of Key West only. So don’t book based on the free parking claim alone.
