10/10 Exceptional

Not a bad choice

Reasonably priced for someplace to just crash for the night, beds were a luttle hard, no bfast, no pool, so just a place to crash and shower. AC kept room cold, did have a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Close walk to Duval, I would go back.

The other area needs closer parking and a laundry area. Otherwise, it's excellent.

Best kept secret on Key West

This was my second time staying here over the last 2 years. The staff, location and accommodations are excellent. This is probably the most affordable lodging you will find on the island. The rooms have been recently upgraded and they were very clean and comfortable. I love the location and you can walk everywhere. No need to drive anywhere when you get here. Strongly recommend staying here!

My stay at the Seashell was so good I stayed another week. The staff are extremely helpful, the location is perfect for the beach & entertainment district. It's a very cost effective way to stay in this area bearing in mind its location.

Danielle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is the cheapest place to stay in expensive Key West. It is located not far from the southern most point and has good, free parking. That said it is rather charmless, although it has a nice courtyard for picnics, relaxing, etc.
