Very comfortable and large bed. Laundry available. We could walk to the fort and downtown from the lodge (around a mile or so). Good less expensive option for Key West.

My wife and I stayed for two nights, our greeting was friendly, professional and extremely helpful (thank you). Was a Hilton hotel? nope, was it the same cost as a Hilton NOPE, did we sleep the same as a Hilton- yes, we did. So, overall we were really pleased with the stay, beds made, coffee, fresh soap, towels replaced each day - come on… what more do you want? Oh, nearly forgot- Key West is great fun, very much worth a visit.

It was all we could afford in key west, but it was not a pleasant way to spend the night. The bathroom was extraordinarily clean. The air conditioner did not keep up with the temperature or the humidity. Getting bathroom time was difficult when four of the five people in our room got up at 6:00 a.m.

Great location. Walking distance to Duval street. plenty of parking in a clean neighborhood. Bike rentals on property if you don’t have a car. My 22 yr old daughter and I stayed in the Women’s only dorm. our room had two bunk beds , half bath and full bath. Each bunk had privacy curtains, mini fan, mini lamp, and outlet. Lockers available in courtyard but must bring your own lock. Laundry machines on site, kitchen area and refrigerate. Laid back, no frills but clean and comfortable. Would stay there again. Easy check-in and check out. no issues.

Basic room. Not the Ritz, but simple and quaint and in line with expectations. Towels could be nicer based on per night cost this is not a big ask.

Excellent stay. We stayed in a motel room instead of the hostel. The room was very clean with a great bathroom, refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot. There was a small parking area, and ample free on street parking. The motel rooms each have their own entrance. There is no lobby, you check in at a window. Check in was very easy and smooth. There is a beautiful courtyard with a kitchen and seating for guests to share. The location was quiet and convenient. Excellent stay. We'll be back next time we stay in Ket West.

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.

The property looks old and worn. Shower controls loose, water pressure low, hot water took too long to get hot. No hot water available in sink, furniture tattered and worn. Main door to room looked as if previously broken into, had 1/2” gap underneath. Tried to cancel once we saw the room however, was told could not cancel because it was secured through Expedia! Do not recommend, $75/night value at best!

Perfect location close to the most southern point attraction. Higgs beach is not too far. Easy check in and check out. Love that each bunk has curtains for privacy, personal reading light and charging station. Toiletries provided. Daily housekeeping. Property is usually quiet. Few restaurants walking distance.
6.0
This was an expensive stay, but Key West is crazy expensive for everything. The place is an old style motel with refreshed interiors done really well, except the windows are slat type that don’t close fully or block out any noise at all, also the door does not fit properly, I could see the outside light over the top of the door and daylight underneath. If the door was replaced with a proper fitting one and internal double glazing fitted, if they cannot replace outside, it would help a lot. The outside noise was the same as if we were in a tent. The Cockerels start at day break and sound like they are in the room. The parking outside the room was a bonus and the location to Duval street was a simple walk away. Good but could be so much better.
