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!

Hôtel un peu excentré mais facile de marcher jusqu’au centre-ville 15-20 minutes, également un bus gratuit tous les 30-30 minutes. Key West est très sage! Nous avions la chambre Artist, largement suffisante mais pas très grande. Jacuzzi très agréable. Petit déjeuner basique mais agréable. Parking gratuit.

We stayed in the Hemingway Guest House and loved it. It was perfect for 3 of us for several nights. We enjoyed the jacuzzi, the breakfast and the lovely patio. We had breakfast and spent some time in the evenings on the patio. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property is in easy biking distance from all of the Old Town restaurants, bars and attractions. We would love to return to Key West and stay in at The Authors of Key West Guest house again.
