Pros: We spent 3 nights at the Orchid Key Inn and loved everything about it. The location is perfect, with many great restaurants, coffee shops and bars close by. The room was stylishly decorated with modern furnishings and was tucked into a quiet corner so the street noise was imperceptible. The pool is a tranquil, relaxing spot where we enjoyed cooling off and lounging for several hours each afternoon. The staff was cheerful and friendly, eager to help with any needs or questions. We would highly recommend the Orchid Key and will stay there again next time!

Pros: We fell in love with Orchid Key Inn the moment we pulled up! Its like stepping back into time when life was simple & vacation was for the exculsive! A beautifully remodeled 1950s style motel with real orchids for decorating, the amazing water features around the commons (bar, reception and pool area) drown out the sounds of Duvall St, and the suites are very comfortable, extremely clean, stylish and roomy! But nothing compares AND no one is excluded from the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ attention that each and every employee gives you while you're here! They'll remember your name, and your favorite drink to order at the bar, to what time you usually wake up and then ask you how you slept! If I could mention them all by name, I would, but I will say that you dont want to miss Terry & Alex at the bar! Who needs a comedy show when you've got them tending bar?! They kept us so entertained we didnt want to leave! Terry (The Bestest) even hand squeezed OJ for our complimentary bottle of champagne so we could have fresh mimosas!!! We won't stay ANYWHERE else on the island, ORCHID KEY INN is our HOME in KEY WEST! Can't wait to come back! Thank you for such an amazing birthday and Anniversary trip! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME ❤

Cons: Breakfast had quite some variety but still not exciting, eggs way overcooked. Had to close the curtains, which were blackout as everyone could see right into the room from the pool area. Not a bench or seating to be found in the smoking area in the parking lot. (Probably a huge plus for nonsmokers)

Staff were excellent and extremely helpful with answering any questions and assisting in booking a trip. Location was very good. Just about 50 yards from Duval Street but at the quieter end so noise was not an issue, but easy walking to the plentiful local bars and restaurants (or if required a very reasonably priced trip to the farthest end). Good parking, although it is not directly attached to the property ( about a 2 minute walk from the property). Lovely (although small) pool, in very pretty, tropical gardens, but would be a welcome place to relax and cool down (unfortunately we did not have time to make use of this facility so cannot comment on pool temperature etc). If visiting Key West in the future, would definitely stay here again.

Cons: There was nothing we did not like. The only things to point out is that there is very limited space to pull up outside the property to unload/load luggage (just enough space for one car at a time)...just something to be aware of if like us you are travelling with lots of luggage (although the gentleman on reception was very helpful in assisting us with the unloading process to speed things up...much appreciated). Also, the room that we stayed in (room 10) has a couple of flights of steps to get to it (not a problem for us) and also a few steps down into the bathroom, which may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues or unsteady on their feet....just something to be aware of if booking this room.

Pros: From check in to check out, everything was perfect. We were very early so we hung out on a comfy hammock and rocking chair while we waited. Staff and owner made it a point to engage in meaningful conversation. Room was super clean and there were fresh roses on the shelf. So many electrical outlets, easily accessible. They even had a sleep sound machine which I used. Super clean, small pool right outside our room was a hit. Great hot breakfast was included, which we ate on the lovely outdoor patio. And we had a complimentary sangria and beer on the same patio during happy hour. Everything was so charming, highly recommend!

Co owner Cathy was kind and asked us for any suggestions that could make the Grand Guesthouse better. I couldn't really think of any thing! General manager John was a pleasant fellow who offered his favorite restaurants and tips on how to enjoy the area like a local. I strongly recommend giving this beautiful little property a try!

Cons: Not much to dislike. Others may complain about things like the air conditioner being loud or the bed being too firm but neither bothered me much at all. You can always find something negative about any place you stay but I'm not going to report anything negative because I thought this place was just what we wanted and filled our needs perfectly.

Cons: There are small things here and there... not being able to turn down the AC below 70, the AC light being very bright, the shower knob being really tough to turn, especially with soapy hands... but these are all minor things and wouldn’t at all effect my decision to stay here again. But there is one thing. THE ROOSTER!!! I know there’s literally nothing the grand guesthouse can do about that animal but that’s a deal breaker. It starts every morning around 7:30.

This area was complete with tables, chairs and umbrellas to enjoy the ocean view and just steps away from Southernmost House. We found the House a great and relaxing escape when leaving the fun and sightseeing of downtown Key West.
Cons: There was nothing that would warrant us to complain. However, there was a lot of renovation going on at the House which we were informed that this is considered a slow time for tourists and the best time for hotels, restaurant, etc. to complete those projects with minimal impact to guests. The Southernmost House/Mansion is beautiful and being of that age and open as an bed/breakfast, it undoubtedly needs constant upkeep and attention. This, however, will not keep us from coming back, but a plus. We loved it.

9.0 Excellent
Pros: It was the old retro style hotel/motel.In a good location in key west near the beach near everything.
Cons: The free breakfast sucked. Everything was prepackaged pre-processed foods. No fruit or vegetables or eggs. The worst free breakfast I've ever had at a free breakfast hotel. But it's hard to complain because it was free.

7.9 Good
Pros: The place is amazing! The breakfast is good but they could have put out more options.
Cons: The staff was not very friendly. I was very disappointed to find they have a $15 a day parking fee. Because of the location and affordable price I was happy to have a place to park so I could just walk everywhere and not have to worry about paying for parking.

Pros: We loved our stay. Breakfast was a nice touch. The staff wad excellent! Rooms & pool area were clean. It was in a nice location
Cons:

I really loved the two pools - one salt water and a larger non-salt water pool. The location was amazing, as the beach and duval street are both within a block of this hotel.
We want to get back as soon as possible, and on our next adults-only trip, this will be the place we stay!

Pros: Clean room upon arrival, nice pool, closeness to areas we wanted to see.
Cons: As I saw in previous reviews, parking stinks and not adequately addressed on the website. The six spots are first come, first served and no list to sign up. Since checkout is 11, you could possibly waste all morning being first come. The desk clerk who checked me in showed no interest in being friendly, never smiled, was short with me and did not review the wifi access so I had to go back. The other clerks I interacted with were great.
