Lovely place.

Lovely place! The outdoor hot tub was really nice. Our poets room was very spacious and clean. The coffee and purified water are excellent. All three of us found the breakfast a bit underwhelming for a guest house. No hot food like sausage or bacon was available. The breakfast bagels and pastry were pretty good though wrapped in plastic. There were several choices of cereal in plastic containers, yogurt, cheese sticks and hard boiled eggs. Staff was very nice. Plenty of street parking. I would stay here again.

Great small, family run hotel. Quiet and safe area. Easy walk to all amenities. The little cottage is well set with a bedroom and a pullout sofa bed in the living room. Nice breakfast is served in the morning. Well priced. Would highly recommend it!

We were looking for a property close to the West Ferry Terminal, 100 Grinnell Street, at the Historic Seaport. This property was a 12 min walk. Property contained several individual rooms with own entrances. Our room (Truman -2nd floor) was small but very colorful. Nice molding & comfortable bed. Towels were small and thin. Room was not sound proof which is why we gave it 3 stars for Condition. Roosters & garbage truck are your 5-6am wake up call. Felt it was a very nice place but overpriced.

Our room at Authors of the Keys West Guest House was a queen bed and a bathroom. Room space was in short supply. The front office is staffed till 5pm so if you will be arriving later than 5pm make arrangements. The breakfast was excellent, including great coffee, bagels, hard boiled eggs, fruit etc. Parking is limited to 2 on-site spaces.

When checking in the lady on duty was very nice and helpful. The pool is very small. A little bigger than a pickup truck bed. The shower is very small also. If you are over 5’6” you will bump your head on the shower head. I was not going to leave them a bad review until the next morning the free breakfast was so very simple and not enough for all the guests. Breakfast starts a 8 in a very small office/serving room. Everyone was trying to make the best of it but there was NO COFFEE!!!! No instant coffee in the room and everyone waiting until 8 am for no coffee. It is a place to lay your head and that is about all I can say good about it.

Key West Poets Guesthouse

We loved our spacious, clean suite (Poet). The beds were very comfortable. The manager, Alex, was very accommodating and friendly. He provided me with a coffee maker and pods so that i can make coffee in the room. We thought the room could use more focused lighting, such as in the dining area and sofa area. The floors seemed very clean, but our feet would get dirty quickly. However, were were in a quiet area away from Duval Street and the noise. The breakfast was satisfying; i especially appreciated the hot oatmeal and hard-boiled eggs.
