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 :)

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 :).

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.

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.

A good walking distance to Duval, away from the noise. Close walking to a few other out of the way places, which was nice. Room AC worked well and rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about places to visit and directions to get there. You can Uber from the hotel to anywhere for a reasonable fee and it’s pretty quick and easy.

Lovely historic building with modern touches, converted to a hotel in a reasonably quiet part of town. Located in the middle of the island’s old town, you can walk pretty much anywhere in 5-20 minutes, and we did. The restaurant across the street is also excellent. Reasonable sized units, and the semi-private covered patio makes you not want to leave. Far enough away from the Duvall St partying that you don’t hear or see it, but close enough to be accessible. Safe neighborhood. Abundant chickens nearby.
