My husband and I wanted to experience the atmosphere of old town Key West and be within walking distance to all the excitement. We found a gem of a hotel last weekend which met all our needs. From first impressions from the outside we knew we had found something special. And we were even more excited after speaking with Beth... More

I usually stay at the Cypress House but because of all the bad reviews since the change in ownership decided to try another Guest House. This is a nice clean and quiet house with a spacious pool area, and in a very convenient location. Our stay was great except for the check in process which lasted 20 minutes. I have... More

We booked two nights but extended the stay to a third. This place is within walking distance to many places and have free parking outside. The pool area is really cosy with free breakfast. Rooms are nice but tend to be a bit small. I would really recommend this place! More

The room was small but pleasant, balcony was very nice. But for the price paid (> $250 per night) the breakfast was very poor - disposable plates/cutlery, orange juice from concentrate, poor food. The house itself was a bit on the shabby side given the room pruice, though generally clean. Pool was small but pleasant. More

Chelsea House was a quaint place and the people were nice BUT the room was postage stamp size and the bathroom incredibly small and again the PRICE was ENORMOUS. Sorry we wont be returning. More

My fiance and I just spent a long weekend in Key West at the Chelsea House and felt it was the perfect location and had all of the amenities we needed. After reading the reviews on here I called the day before we left and requested a room in one of the main houses. So when we checked in, the... More

Stayed at hotel with a group of friends Summer 2011 for husband's 30th birthday celebration. The location isn't bad - we walked to most bars, however, taxi-cabbed it home from the docs after snorkeling. Mallory Square is not a short walk either. Room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast is nothing more than bread, yogurt and cereal - not hot... More

I have stayed in several guest houses in key west and this place was just old. Guest houses are expected to be a little less quite than hotels and you sometimes have to give up modern amenities to have the charm, this place kept me wishing I has booked at the Marriott. It was very cold an stale, no art... More

A wonderful B&B with a great pool area and a pleasant continental breakfast. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was truly memorable. A place that we would return to. More
