Great little motel/hotel close to downtown Key West. Room was clean and nicely done, had what looked to be a freshly refurbished bathroom, bed was extremely comfortable, A/C and ceiling fan, and free parking - what's not to like? Just a few blocks from the beginning of Duval Street and the southernmost point of the USA. The reception guy was very friendly and extremely helpful. I was a little put off by the exterior when I arrived but this is misleading as the place is great. A little hidden gem!

“Clean, spacious room with excellent hospitality”
Hader was very hospitable and kind. He was helpful when booking in and had a lot of knowledge about Key West. The room has recently been renovated and it was clean and very spacious. The bathroom was clean with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and soap, there was also a hairdryer. The kitchen has all the necessities you would need and the bed was comfortable. It is a close walking distance to the beach and to the town. Very, very good value for money.

“Clean, comfy, nice decor, great location & friendly staff”
Excellent location: short walking distance to all the attractions. Rooms were nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Ample parking space, and parking was complimentary. Bed was comfortable, shower had good water pressure and high-quality toiletries were provided. Staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. I arrived late, so I appreciated the 24-hour reception. Good value for money with no hidden fees, which seem commonplace in the area.

Termites everywhere. Kind of horrifying. They were walking around. Some of them alive, some dead. Disgusting

“Seashell Motel”
The location was fabulous and handy for everything you want to see and do. The room was small but beautifully decorated and perfect for our needs. Everyone was so helpful and we got to check in early which was a bonus.

“Lovely room, shame about the noise from traffic outside.”
The road which ran alongside it was quite busy therefore the sound of traffic was pretty disturbing. Also, the sound of fellow guests talking loudly outside, and quite late into the night was disturbing. Thankfully I had my ear-plugs.

“Last international hostel guest after 50 years!”
The location: I could walk to all the highlights! And the reception desk was open 24/7 and always helpful. I hadnt been in a youth hostel for 30 years, but I was lucky that during my four nights, for only 2 nights I had 1 roommate in my Womens dorm for 6 persons. So I had a lot of privacy.
