Receptionist was very friendly. We had to leave the hotel before breakfast, and the staff gave us our breakfast items when we checked in. The room is very clean, but we wish that they would use cleansers without the strong smell. One blind didn't close well,so we felt that we didn't have much privacy. Area is quiet, but convenience enough. Hotel only has two parking space, but there are plenty free street parking.

First time in Key West
Stay was awesome! Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Took extra time with us to explain key west and benefits of the property. Reasonably priced and fresh breakfast. Overall quiet besides the airplanes coming in. Bed was a little uncomfortable the second night. We would MOST DEFINITELY return! Thank you and ❤️ from Minnesota!

We enjoyed the staff and fellow guests at this place. The room was well-appointed. It's a fair walking location to town. Be prepared to search out parking for your vehicle, however, as their spaces are very limited.
Overall, we appreciated our stay at Author's Key West.
