My wife and I stayed here for our Anniversary this year and enjoyed it. The room was nice and clean when we arrived. The bathroom was also clean and a decent size for a B&B. The only issue with the room was the shower temperature. It would flash from perfect to freezing to scolding then back to perfect. However that... More

Chelsea House seems to be one of a few Inns in a two block radius on Key West. It was clean, basic, and a pretty solid location- quiet, but an easy five minute walk to Duval Street and some great restaurants and bars. The rooms are split up in a large mansion- some have patios right on a pool, one... More

We stayed here for two night, close to downtown great distance. Very clean room and comfy bed. Our only complaint as modern travelers is we like to plan and explore activities for the next day over internet. The wifi connection here is awful. We could barely get wifi in our room and when we did it was touch and go.... More

We had room 28 by the pool, it was large enough with a closet in the bathroom and a dresser in the bedroom. The front desk was friendly and very helpful, Betsy and the rest of the staff were very nice. The breakfast was simple but adequate. The parking was nice, we were able to leave the car and walk...

We had room 7 and didn't have any of the noise problems I've seen others comment on. Very comfy and clean room. Lots of onsite off-street parking. A few blocks from Duval... a little walk down to the party side, but always good exercise to walk off all the food and alcohol calories! Didn't check out the continental breakfast since... More

This was our third stay in as many years with our group. We wanted the same room as last year and was told "they didn't book like that". Upon arriving we found that other guests were given the rooms they requested. ( I guess I spoke with the wrong clerk). We were stuck on the third floor in a very... More

Beth at the front desk was wonderful, giving us lots of information and excellent recommendations for our stay. Key West is expensive in general, and our room was no exception (and we did stay in the least expensive room they had). The room was tiny, but very clean, nicely decorated and bright with access to the upstairs veranda. Bathroom was... More

Great place to stay in Key West! The front desk staff were so wonderful & helpful! The room was clean, updated & quite! The bed was comfy! The only negative was the room was so small..... No place to put our luggage or clothes, thankfully we packed light. Would definitely recommend this place!!!
