Lodging in Key West

By: Mikey West

Key West lodging has a few luxury resorts, a few relatively cheap places, and a lot of places priced between those. Since it is a very popular vacation city, you may find the room rates to be high compared to what you are used to paying. Rates are even higher in the winter.

You'll find a few Key West hotels and resorts with one hundred rooms or more. These large (by Key West standards) properties have beach front properties, fine swimming pools and spas, and restaurants onsite. The biggest is the Casa Marina Resort, with about 300 suites and rooms. National names such as Westin, Sheraton, Hyatt and Doubletree are available.

You will find a few hotels with under one hundred rooms. They provide several but not all of the things you would see at the larger properties. With two such properties, Hyatt is number one in that department.

You can find some pleasant surprises among the Key West hotels with less than fifty rooms. You probably are not familiar with the Gardens Hotel, the Santa Maria Suites, the Sunset Key Guest Cottages and the Marquesa Hotel. They are fabulous.

Key West has most national hotel brand names present and some of them are not as pricey as the luxury brands. You will find Courtyard, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Best Western, Days Inn, Travelodge and others.

You'll find some discount rates at smaller non-franchise hotels and motels that don't carry a national name you know. Not being franchisees, they can set their own standards of service and cleanliness. Probably some of them are suitable. I have not stayed in any don't choose to name any. You could be a winner.

Bed and breakfast facilities are all over Key West. As the name says, your stay includes a daily breakfast, which usually is continental but could be a full one. The number of rooms is smaller than in the hotels and the rooms vary in styles. You might have to share a bathroom with others. An owner or manager will give you personal service.

There is one youth hostel in Key West. As you would expect, this is where you get the lowest prices in the city. There is a common room, a shared bathroom and a kitchen with a grill. You are not allowed to have any alcoholic beverages present.
