My experience dates back to January 2007 and it was not really nice.Key West was the last leg of my trip to Florida in December 2006/January 2007. We spent 2 nights in one of the motel rooms and it was awful, to say the least. I was longing to go away from the moment we stepped into the room. Plastic... more

After confirming a reservation over the phone with a woman who worked at the motel, a manager by the name of Matt would not honor my reservation. I arrived at the motel on time at about 8:10pm but there was a note on the office window saying they closed an hour early that night. The office is normally scheduled to... more

My husband and I recently stayed a week in the Sea Shell Motel and could not believe the rudeness and unhelpfulness of the staff. We accepted the cost of $150.00 per night for a double room during high season, but we could not accept the poor service and rudeness of staff. The cleaning staff did not clean our room, nor... more

The desk folks may have been tri lingual but they weren't aware of the universal smile. It just was not a pleasant hostel & I have seen plenty. They acted as if they had already sold the property to condo builders & didn't care if you came back or not. With the coupons in the travelers magazines almost all of... more

I stayed at this hostel and as for a hostel it is just fine. For a cheap place to stay in Key West - $34 a night in the dorm room, I wasn't really expecting much. The courtyard area was nice, people gathered under the tiki hut and conversed before going out at night. Yes, there is no alcohol allowed,... more

My husband and I booked one of the private rooms and didn't end up staying because the air conditioning didn't work and there were huge rats outside the door. The lady working at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The guy was rude and tried to accuse US of breaking the air conditioner! We found a very nice... more

My boyfriend & I tried 2 book into here for 4 nights & it was impossible. Do not make a reservation via email as they don't respond. Do not make a reservation via phone as they 'can't'. When they asked whether we'd made a reservation, we informed them we had tried 2 but the stupid guy working there couldn't hav... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in this hostel in Key West for two nights. The room had three bunk beds and a tiny but clean bathroom. We received clean sheets at the check in. The matresses are covered with plastic and are a bit hard to sleep on but on the whole I will definitely recommend it to young people... more

I wasn't expecting much from this hostel/hotel - just looking for a cheap place to stay on overpriced Key West. The private rooms at this hostel are run as a motel, though I wasn't sure what this meant exactly before I arrived. I was pleased to find a clean room, with a large refrigerator, a TV, and AC. The bathroom... more
